While I am on the subject of false doctrine coming from this chapter, those that claim this was changed;
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock..
That it "used to say the lamb lay down with the Lion! The Bible has been Mandela-effected!!" God's word is preserved by His power. It is an unchanging rock, settled in Heaven before the foundation of the world.
So no, you're wrong.
While it can be fun to have alternate theories of things of this world, when your schizo take leads to blasphemy, and profane babblings like this, take a step back and realize; sometimes you just are remembering an extra biblical account, or popular culture references.
God's word doesn't change.

For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
This verse, a direct reference to Cyrus, is also a prophecy of Christians, under Jesus. Made sons of God and co-heirs with Christ. Those called by His name. The elect of Israel. That we are given God as a surname, adopted as sons and daughters in Him.
For Jacob was His servant to bring about the Messiah, and the elect of Israel, the name Jacob is given by the Lord after a night of wrestling with Him over his past, and facing his future.
Knowing Esau was riding towards him, with 400 men, Jacob went by himself to pray. And after lasting the night, prevailing, and being made lame by a touch of God to his hip, he relented to God's will, and was renamed Israel in Genesis 32:28.
We become the elect of Israel by adoption. And we are called by His name, in Christ.
And like Jacob, given a new name in the resurrection.
Revelation 2:17
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Amen

24 Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
25 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
26 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
27 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
If you are currently living with or fornicating with your boyfriend or girlfriend, you should stop and get married.
1 Corinthians 7:2
But to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1 Corinthians 5:9-11
I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
You should be disciplined out of the church if you are living in sin or engaging in fornication, and won't abstain and get married.

Even so, Calvinism falls into the same heresy, making the election not of grace, but of foreknowledge and predestination, God choosing who is saved based on His "sovereign will." That they are elect because of something God saw in them. Some merit.
They also use Romans 9, which was written about nations of people, the very scripture dispensationalism uses to justify its own heresy towards Jews, except changing the election from a physical nation to another innate quality; their usefulness to God.
Romans 9:10-13
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Again, Paul is writing about nations, not individuals, and drawing the comparison between the children of promise through Isaac, and the inheritance of that promise through Jacob rather than Esau.
Paul goes from Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, through Malachi, the last to make his point, and that point is not that God pre-ordains who will be saved and who is condemned.
Rather God pre-ordains that His promise will be kept, and those that partake in the conditions for that promise, are heirs to it. In this case, the election of grace through faith in His word.
Romans 9:22-24
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
God predestined that those who believe on His promise will be given the gifts of that promise, being longsuffering towards the unregenerate Jews, that His mercy may be shown to all who believe, in Christ.
For all men are called; The Bible says:
John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
And again:
2 Timothy 1:9
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
And:
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
All are drawn, all are called. God's will is that no man perish. It is to His purpose that we avail ourselves of the grace given the whole world, whom He loves. That while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
But by making the election not of grace, but sovereign will, and not to all men, but the select few, they make the promise of God to no effect. That whosoever believes isn't whosoever, but the preselected few, drawn by irresistible grace and unconditional election.
"Unconditional election," is an oxymoron, used as a fig leaf to say "actually, we aren't special boys. We are randomly chosen, basically." An election without conditions is not an election, not a chosing, but is a random decision. It is a false humility used to hide their pride.
They don't believe in grace, but in their own worthiness. Even if they say they don't know why they are special, only that they are.
Ephesians 1:4-5
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us to be adopted his sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.
All who trust Christ are predestined in Him. That election of grace given the whole world, is predestined in Jesus according to the will of the Father. It is Christ Who was chosen before the foundation of the world. Not the special boys who believe themselves to be their own little christs, making grace no more grace.

Continuing the very clear, undeniable, easy to understand prophecy of God through Isaiah, of the future King of the Medo-Persian empire, more than a century off in the future. Isaiah 45 is one of the most powerful chapters in the Bible.
God says He has named Cyrus as deliverer, for after the Babylonian captivity, still decades away, after the 70 years of desolation in Jerusalem as prophesied, the Babylonian empire will be over thrown, and Cyrus will free the Jews wot return, to rebuild the temple. That the line of David continued to Christ and the place God put His name would stand until it served its purpose, the death burial and resurrection of Jesus.
And just as sure and specific and certain as this prophecy is for Cyrus, so it is for the Messiah.
By this we may know there is no other God beside Him. He is the Lord, and there is none else.
For all creation testifies, and all the prophets gave witness, and all the promises made to the faithful, and the evidence all around that those who trust in Him are never ashamed.
God calls all His shots beforehand, and we see the results are true. And if these things are sure and true, then know the promise of salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus is as well.
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
The Lord has created all things that, in His time, in the end, salvation and righteousness are as a flood upon the earth. And like the flood of Noah, we shall be delivered and those that reject God will be destroyed.
Those that chase after gods of their own hands, who worship the created more than the Creator, shall be confounded and ashamed when the day comes.
But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
The Lord openly declares these things, all that is right. His perfect law. His kept promises. His holy Name.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
John 5:37
And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
Philippians 2:9-11
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father
1 John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The word of God is true, let every man be a liar who rejects it. All that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed. Those who do not wish to retain God in their knowledge, who hold the truth in unrighteousness, they will be made to know He loves us.
And in the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and glory.
Galatians 3:27-29
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Romans 11:26-27
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Amen

And as the Lord reminds us of His promises to blot out our transgressions, to redeem us from sin, to never forget us, His sons and daughters, the Lord drops the name Cyrus.
This is written in the 700s, BC. Cyrus will become king of the Medo-Persian Empire, in 559 BC.
What a sure word of prophecy! Throughout Isaiah God makes promises for things to happen that are yet to come, short-term long-term and end times. And by the hearing of His word, we can grow in faith. Knowing that His word is true.
What an incredible gift God has given us. We can rely on Him and never be ashamed.

Isaiah 44
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
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.
6 Thus saith 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.
7 And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
10 Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
12 The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
16 He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
18 They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
21 Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

23 Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.

Fundamentalist Baptists were NOT Zionists and were not Jew worshipping prior to the influence of Judaizers in the 1990s and 2000s. They may have had some wrong ideas on the timing of the resurrection, but they rejected hyperdispensationalism and Zionism

Every damnable heresy in "professing Christianity" is based on rejecting the election of grace. They make grace contingent on merit, making grace no more grace.
Romans 11:5-6
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Grace is the undeserved and unmerited favor of God.
Here in Romans, Paul is writing to explain why physical Israel, Jews after the flesh, are not elect. That their blood relation to Abraham cannot save them. That it is by the election of grace man is saved. Continuing in verse 7;
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Which election? The election of Grace. And so, the heresy of dispensationalism fails when the scriptures are searched to see if it is so. And the damnable heresy of hyperdispensationalism is undone by the doctrine of grace.
Galatians 3:16, 26-29
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The Jews being saved for being the seed of Abraham makes grace no more grace.
Romans 9:6-8
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Romans 11:5-6

Verses 9-20, Isaiah in the Spirit, speaking the word of God, describes the vanity of the idolator. And perfectly describes the false religion of Jeroboam, and its modern version, Roman Catholicism.
They make and fashion images of men, forming crucifixes;
The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
The same wood that warms him and cooks his food, he bows to and prays to. They cannot even comprehend how foolish it is to worship before a created thing that they also burn to ash. The residue they make an abomination of.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
John 10:28-30
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one.

Soulwinning is not a calling, it’s a command!

“Some think that the little nation over there now, established after the War of 1948, is the promised restoration of Israel. It is not. Zionism and Christianity are two entirely different things. ZIONISM IS JEWISH PATRIOTISM WITHOUT ANY REFERENCE TO THE BIBLE… A bunch of infidel Jews turning down the Gospel, and going on in their infidelity and sin is NOT the restoration promised in the Bible.” - Dr. John R. Rice, 1979

"Soul winning is not a method of church building. It is a command from our Commanding General. Occasionally someone will come to the Pastors' School at First Baptist Church of Hammond, spend a week hearing and seeing the soul-winning emphasis here, and go home to win souls and see his church grow. This growth may continue for several years, and then it may level off. Often this same pastor will then go to someone else's pastors' school to find other methods by which he can build his attendance. Soul winning is not a method; it is a command. We are supposed to go soul winning and do soul winning if our churches grow or if our churches decrease in attendance. An increase in church attendance is simply a delightful product of soul winning; but if such an increase does not occur, the command of the Great Commission is no less valid." - Brother Jack Hyles

Isaiah 45
Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
4 For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
16 They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.

Again, a wonderful picture of salvation and redemption by the Lord God, upon His servants who are Israel. The same believers in the Old Testament and New. The living waters promised in Christ.
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.
I believe this is a clear prophecy of what has become the situation after Jesus ascension, and here in these last days.
Christians say we are the Lord's, and Jews of the 1st century, "We are of Jacob." And now, those who claim to be Israel.
It also reflects the reality of Isaiah's time. The saved believers, the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel.
Elect according to grace. Those who believe they are elect according to heritage. Those who claim election while being far from Him.
That's what my thoughts are in this, and God reminds us, He is in charge over all.
Thus saith 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. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them.
There is no God besides Him. Fear not. We who trust in Him shall not be ashamed.

The Lord God of Israel, the Redeemer, our Saviour. His holy Name being witnessed by His people to bring all the nations unto Him for forgiveness, that all may be justified. Held in His hand. Our sins and transgressions remembered no more.
This was the plan for Jacob. This was the plan for His people.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
This is why their covenant was ended. Not because the law given Moses in the wilderness to deliver unto the people was flawed. But the flaw was in them.
Hebrews 8:6-9
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
They continued not in His covenant. The flaw was with them.
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
The old covenant was ended. A new testament in Christ was established. And every nation carries a righteous remnant of believers. Who are His and of His name. Christ Jesus.
