Isaiah 44

CLAIM: The Lord will pour out His Spirit upon Israel at the end of the age. This results in a national revival as Israel is restored spiritually, socially, and environmentally. Jesus will be acknowledged globally as the redeemer of Israel and the King of the whole earth.

red False.

Isaiah 44:3 talks about the outpouring of the Spirit of the Lord on the descendants of those who is being talked about.  This speaks first of all of the outpouring of the Spirit on Pentecost, but in the rejection of the Messiah in His first coming (Luke 19:44), the nation will receive the outpouring in the Ezekiel 39 setting.

This prophecy, as verse 28 indicates, points to the regathering and rebuilding of Israel after the Babylonian invasion, since it mentions Cyrus who was used to initiate and fund its restoration.

The wholeness of this prophecy was fulfilled historically, even though the nation of Israel rejected Christ the first time.  While verse 3 was frustrated in part, and will only see its fulfillment in the Ezekiel 39 context, the chapter as a whole was completed, including verse three, through the church.  Even if one considers the v3 fulfillment yet future, for its fullness, the chapter itself is more or less fulfilled.  Yet, God’s desire has always been that the Spirit would be poured out upon His entire nation.
