Isa 41:15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.

Isa 41:16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.

Isa 41:17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

Isa 41:18 I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

Isa 41:19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:

Isa 41:20 That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.

V 15--the new sharp threshing instrument with teeth, is the saints of God with the Baptism of fire. They are mentioned in Rev. nine. This is those Lion’s teeth. This ministry will thresh the nations and separate them, setting the sheep on the right, and the goats on the left.

Who had the fan? It surely was Jesus. His fan is his ministers who will do this judgment ministry with the FIRE coming out of the mouths.

V 17-- A precious verse, a precious promise. The ‘poor and needy�?is those whom Jesus spoke of , blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Needy> Those who thirsted for Jesus and salvation. We were seeking WATER, during the dry OT era. Mankind could not find that satisfying relationship with God; not then.

But there came a day when our wonderful Saviour came and opened up that river of water of life inside our dry and thirsty souls. He said the Spirit which he gives us will be in us, a river of life, a fountain of living water.

We Gentiles were the dry and thirsty land. But one day Our God opened that highway of holiness up to us and poured that WATER upon our thirsty land and gave us eternal life. We were the ones who gladly accepted the remission of sins, provided by God himself = water, yes, water, baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sins. Then he poured that living Water into our souls and filled this dry land with living Rivers of water of life.

Praise his most Holy Name forever and ever.
