In Isaiah 44:7 Who are the Ancient People?

Chapter 2.

In chapter 1 called, “Who is the Ancient of Days”, we learned that Almighty God the Father is the Ancient of Days. So then, I concluded that to refer to the Son of God, Jesus, as being the Ancient of Days would be like referring to the Father as being the Lamb of God.

Now, the Apostle Peter tells us that one DAY is as a THOUSAND years and 1000 years is as ONE DAY to Almighty God. So then, with that in mind, Almighty God the Father is also the God of ANCIENT TIMES. In other words, there were DAYS or AGES of “people” that existed BEFORE God created Adam and Eve some 6,000 years ago. 

We all know and agree that the angelic race of “people” existed before God created Adam and Eve. And it is not logical to believe and teach that the human race on the Earth is the only species of intelligent beings in the entire universe. With that being said, let us dig deeper in God’s word to see who the ancient people are in Isaiah 44:7. And we will also see WHO is the one that Yahweh will SET in order to DISPOSE of the ancient people that He has CHARGED with treason or rebellion against His throne of authority? 

Please read Isaiah 44:1-8.

“Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: (The name Israel means he who shall rule as God. To me, Jacob is a figure of Jesus, much like David is a figure of Jesus. And thus, this is a hidden prophecy of Jesus who shall rule as God for 1000 years during the world to come) 

Verse 2.  Thus says the LORD that made you, and formed you from the womb, which will help you; (Again, personally, I believe that this is a prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus, who will rule as God over the earth in the world to come. In other words, this is a prophecy of the Messiah being formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary) Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and you, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. (The name Jesurun means the upright one or the righteous one. And the name Jacob means to REPLACE. So then, the MEANINGS of these name teach us that God prophesied to REPLACE the ancient people that Yahweh charged with treason with another God to rule FOR Him during the world to come) 

Verse 3.  For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring: 

Verse 4.  And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the- water courses. 

Verse 5.  One shall say, I am the LORD’S; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel. (Keep in mind that the NAME Israel means he shall rule as God)

Verse 6.  Thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. (The LITERAL translation reads, Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel. And one redeeming him Yahweh of host. I first and I last, and apart from me there is no Elohim/ In other words, Yahweh is the Eternal King. And thus, Yahweh is the King over Israel, the one who will rule as God for Yahweh for 1000 years in the world to come. And Yahweh of host is the one redeeming of him, a prophecy of resurrecting Jesus from the dead and making him Lord over the earth during the world to come)

Verse 7.  And WHO, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and SET it in order for Me, since I appointed (Or more correctly, since I CHARGED) the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them.  (I will explain this verse in a moment along with verse 8 in a moment)

Verse 8.  Fear you not, neither be afraid: have not I told you (Speaking of Yahweh TELLING all of the ancient people, both good and evil. The good angels have no need to fear) from that time, and have declared it? You are even My WITNESSES. (Or you good ancient people are ALSO My WITNESSES) Is there a God beside me? Yea, there is no God; I know not any.”

 Let me explain the last part of verse 8 first so that you can see that there are MANY Gods under and subject to Yahweh the Creator. The Hebrew word that is translate as “beside” me also means WITHOUT me. So then, Yahweh is speaking to the Elohim and He is asking then a hypothetical question, Is there a God WITHOUT me making them a God? Yea, There is no God without me making them a God, I know not any.

The English word “any” is NOT in the original text. And thus, this literally reads, “Is there a Eloah or a Deity WITHOUT me? Is there a ROCK that I do not know? In other words, there are MANY deities or gods that Yahweh Himself SET as gods to rule for Him over different parts of His universe.

Hence, Yahweh is the God of gods, according to Daniel 11:36 and many other verses of Scripture. I chose this verse because it is a prophecy of Satan, the god of this present world. This prophecy says that he will exalt himself above all of the other gods or every god. And he shall also speak great things against the God of gods.

In other words, Yahweh set or appointed some of His angels to be Elohim. The Hebrew word “Elohim” is translated as “ a little lower the the angels” in Psalm 8:5. Let us go ahead and read that verse with some context.

Please read Psalm 8:1-6.

“O LORD our Lord, (Or Yahweh our Lords. Speaking of Yahweh the Creator and His highly exalted human Son that He MADE Lord after the cross and resurrection. Yahweh GAVE His exalted human Son His NAME that is above every other NAME, according to Philippians 2:8-11) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth! Who has set Your glory above the heavens. (Yahweh glorified His human Son, Jesus, so that the Son would glorify Yahweh) 

Verse 2.  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings have You ordained strength BECAUSE of Your enemies, (The enemies of Yahweh are the ANCIENT people in Isaiah 44:7. In other words, the ancient people are the angles and the fallen angels are the enemies of Yahweh. And thus, God MADE or SET His human Son Jesus to be the Lord who will REPLACE Satan. And Yahweh did this for a REASON) THAT (Orinorder that) You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER. (Again, the enemy of Yahweh are the fallen angels or rebellious Elohim. And the avenger is Satan, the king over the fallen gods or the gods who rebelled and waged a WAR against their Creator) 

Verse 3.  When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; (The moon speaks prophetically of Satan and the stars refer prophetically to the angels. And it is the angels who ask the following questions)

Verse 4.  What is man, that You are mindful of him? And the Son of MAN, that You VISIT him? 

Verse 5.  For You have MADE him a little lower than the angels, and have CROWNED him with glory and honor. (And the REASON that God made Jesus was to STILL His enemies and the avenger, which God CHARGED with treason or rebellion against His throne of authority. In other words. Satan and the fallen angels are on trial and Jesus is the first faithful and true WITNESS that Yahweh will use to JUDGE the fallen Elohim or the rebellious gods) 

Verse 6.  You MADE him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:”

Now you see the REASON for WHY God begat Himself a human Son made a little LOWER than the angels that God set to be Elohim or gods under and subject to Him. So let us go back to Isaiah 44:7 so that you can see that the ancient people are the angels, both good and fallen.

Isaiah 44:7.

“And WHO, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and SET it in order for Me, since I appointed (Or more correctly, since I CHARGED) the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come, LET them (Speaking of the good angels) show unto them.”

So then, the first pronoun “them” refer to the good angels who will show the fallen angels WHO Yahweh shall SET over the earth. Have you ever wondered WHY Jesus needed to be SEEN of the angels in 1 Timothy 3:16?

1 Timothy 3:16.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God (Or more correctly, a God) was manifest in the flesh, (And a God was) justified in the Spirit, (And a God was) SEEN of angels, (And a God  or a Lord was) preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, (And a God and Lord) RECEIVED UP into glory.”

The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 1:12 that the angels desire to look into the things prophesied in the Scriptures. And we read in Psalm 8:5 that someone asks the questions, What is man that You are mindful of him? And who is the Son of MAN that you VISIT him. And to me, it is the angels who desire to INSPECT what God is doing. For you see, it appears the Lucifer BLAMED God for creating him will a rebellious nature. And thus, God said to the Elohim, both good and rebellious, “Let us make MAN on our image and after our likeness.” And then God alone and by Himself made MAN and the Son of MAN as little LOWER than the angels to JUDGE the fallen angels and silence God’s enemies.

I chapter 3, called “B-3 Ch3 The Ancient War Between the Angels!” we will take a closer look at the great or insolent Dragon, that OLD or ANCIENT Serpent called the Devil and Satan.
