As you know, the Bible is about two Covenants- The OT and NT.
What we are commenting is about the OT, not about the NT, for there is not that NAME or nickname in the NT. Remember: You quoted Isaiah 12:1-2.
Isaiah 16:-1-2 in the OT -Nevin'im(Prophets) Yeshayahu(Isaiah) is written as follow:
1 And you shall say on that day, I will thank You, O Lord, for You were wroth with me, may Your wrath turn away and may You comfort me.
2 Here is the God of my salvation, I shall trust and not fear; for the strength and praise of the Eternal the Lord was my salvation.
In fact that name was added in the translations inadvertently, but the name you have mentioned it is not the only fictitious name or nickname added in the OT (not added in the Bible as a whole-OT&NT), there are several others: I have listed YHWH, Yahweh, Yehovah,Elohim, Adonai, HaShem, Yahusha, YEHshia, Jehovah, YEHvah, these names are not NAMES of GOD, quite the opposite, all these names listed are strictly the names of the father of the Jews- John 8:44 combined with Revelation 12:3-4.
JESUS in His prayer to the Father, said: John 17:6 - I have manifested thy NAME unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: ... -->What's NAME?)
This passage mirrors what our nation is going through. The USA was once famous for our vast fields and vineyards as Moab was. To prevent further ruin to our nation, we must return to the LORD GOD and to HIS worship in truth and in Spirit.
John 4: 24
Let us all turn our hearts to the LORD and HIS precepts, HIS promises and glorify HIM.
Only the true GOD can and will bring to pass what HE promised as HE has spoken. The ruin of our nation is at hand and there is no escape except through submission unto the LORD JESUS CHRIST. 1 Timothy 2:1-3; 2 Chronicles 7:14, 15; 2 Peter 3:9; Romans 10: 9-12; 12:1,2
The LORD make HIS face to shine upon all on this forum, and be gracious unto all who call on HIS name: Numbers 6:25
Psalms 119:49 + 1Kings 9:5, Jeremiah 33:17, 1Kings 2:45, Psalms 132:11, Isaiah 16:5, Luke 1:32, David's throne to have an heir to reign forever, Jesus being that son of David.
I was doing my daily reading today in this book of Isaiah and in Isaiah 16:6 which really spoke to me. You see Americans are very prideful just like Moab. Perhaps the United States is on a downward spiral similar to that of Moab? Anyway's I'm off to pray. Thank you for the chapter from Matthew I read it earlier today.
I have written unto you because you must know that no lie is of the truth.
Isaiah 16:v. 16-22
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the REFUGE OF LIES, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 ... when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his STRANGE work; and bring to pass his act, his STRANGE act.
22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
We wouldn't be able to do a full study here but I will give you an outline of this chapter 60 in Isaiah.
This chapter is essentially about the future of Israel & Jerusalem, specifically the glory that will again be theirs in Christ's Millennial Kingdom on Earth. Even though the Gentiles will be in darkness, God's Glory will be seen upon Israel (v 2). This will draw the Gentiles into God's Light (v 3) & they too, if they repent, will share in the Millennial blessings (v 5) & the nations around will brings their offerings to it (vv 6-11). But the nations that remain obstinate & reject Israel will be left to ruin (v 12). Where once Israel was hated & despised, they will be the one to be admired & drawn towards (vv 15,16). The Lord Himself will be there & there will be no more violence or mourning for Jesus will be their continual Light & Salvation (vv 18-21).
Interestingly, Isaiah 61:1 was quoted by Jesus when He was on Earth & when He ministered in the synagogue (see Luke 4:14-21). Jesus quoted that Isaiah portion, 61:1 to 2a, but He did not quote the second part of verse 2, "the day of vengeance of our God". Jesus sat down & said (in Luke 4:21), "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears", meaning, He made the claim before the Jews gathered there, that He was anointed by God to do all that God had ordained & prophesied in Isaiah 16:1 & 2 by His Coming to Earth. But for the future coming day of vengeance which will be prior to His Second Coming, culminating in the War of Armageddon, He won't come as the healer, comforter & deliverer, but to bring desolation to the world of sinners. And then comes the Millennial Era where Jesus rules from the Earth & what we read in Isaiah chapter 60.
In this chapter GOD clearly points out what HE expects, also we learn some of the evil ways men chose to trump The Will Of GOD, therefore in this case GOD is forced to act as GOD see fit. GOD is the creator of the mankind and knows what is the very best for mankind. But man always sooner or later fail to follow GOD instruction as in this case. We recall Adam and Eve, Noah, Sodom, and Gomorrah.
Yes so True Favour umeh Wordly pride is very bad but not Godly Pride as confirmed in these Scriptures below 2Cor5:12 -7:4 -8:24 -Gal6:4-James1:9 we are to take Pride in or Glory in those who show Faithfullness in Christ Jesus because it is Him we are Glorifying. But we don't Judge others without Godly Love, Mercy, Compassion, and Understanding or we are seeing our own reflection. Blessings -Anne.
Hebrew meaning of Moab is : of his father. When I read the description of Moab in verse 6: (pride, haughtiness, wrath, and lies) I come to the conclusion that Moab's spiritual father is satan. The prideful have a harder time seeking, and submitting to God. God loves humility and hates pride.
It is difficult to get something out of this part; but I think of Moab as of our distant relatives in Christ, as Lot was to Abraham. We live in Countries, and have some family roots, that were at one time in ages past, of our family in Christ; but have over the times dried up and withered spiritually, and have become completely integrated into the world, and are now enemies because of Jesus in us.
I think we who are spiritually should stand on the Word of God tell the people the truth and leave them out of the situations that they may be that is show them the way to the Lord before it 's too late

Psalms 118, stops at verse 29,
It's believed king David wrote, Psalms 119, then:
Psalms 119:49 + 1Kings 9:5, Jeremiah 33:17, 1Kings 2:45, Psalms 132:11, Isaiah 16:5, Luke 1:32, David's throne to have an heir to reign forever, Jesus being that son of David.
2Samuel 12:13
Psalms 119:67,71, 2Samuel 12:14, 2Samuel 12:9-12,
Hopefully these are helpful
