Chapter 8 | The Isles in the East
At the Ends of the Earth
It is not too difficult to figure out whom Isaiah especially refers to when he continually prophesies of the isles in the East in the last days. We can all reason this out pretty simply yet one must really wonder when some out there attempt to identify these prophesies with places West of Israel when they must be East. Some even propagate lands not known for isles when they must be isles. Even more mediocre, some apply known locations close to Israel in Isaiah’s time when he tells us they are located at the ends of the earth. It’s almost as if they are not even reading the Bible. We will offer those scriptures, but follow the logic. Isaiah refers to the Isles in the East at the ends of the earth many times. So let’s go to Israel on a map in our minds and take King Solomon’s journey. There are no isles in the Red Sea of significance. Saudi Arabia has what they call rocks in that region mostly not pronounced islands. As we head East of Israel and the Red Sea, we have to travel to India to find the sizable island of Sri Lanka but that’s an isle not isles. We have to continue to the East Indies to arrive at significant isles. The explorers knew this. Understand Indonesia is in Ham’s territory not Shem’s. Taiwan is an isle not isles. All that is left is a piece of Malaysia not mainland and the Philippines who, by the way, had historical ownership of Sabah which state accounts for half of Malaysia’s isles. Other than misleading claims usually from the British, we have never found a coherent claim from Malaysia nor are they nor Indonesia known for worshipping the Creator of the Bible. It is not difficult to ascertain, Isaiah is referring to the Philippines. We are not the first to figure this out as there is a very large church out there who takes these prophesies of the Isles of the East 89
