Isaiah 9:10

Self-confident unwillingness to see the judgments of God (Isa 26:11). hewn stones-- (1Ki 5:17). sycamores--growing abundantly on the low lands of Judea, and though useful for building on account of their antiseptic property (which induced the Egyptians to use them for the cases of their mummies), not very valuable.

The bricks are fallen down - The language of this verse is figurative; but the sentiment is plain. It contains the confession of the inhabitants of Samaria, that their affairs were in a ruinous and dilapidated state; but also their self-confident assurance that they would be able to repair the evils, and restore their nation to more than their former magnificence. Bricks, in oriental countries, were made of clay and straw, and were rarely turned. Hence, exposed to suns and rains, they soon dissolved. Walls and houses constructed of such materials would not be very permanent, and to build with them is strongly contrasted with building in a permanent and elegant manner with hewn stone. The meaning is, that their former state was one of less splendor than they designed that their subsequent state should be. Desolation had come in upon their country, and this they could not deny. But they confidently boasted that they would more than repair the evil. We will build - Our ruined houses and walls. With hewn stones - At once more permanent and elegant than the structures of bricks had been. The sycamores - These trees grew abundantly on the low lands of Judea, and were very little esteemed; 1Ki 10:27; 2Ch 1:15; 2Ch 9:27. ‘This curious tree seems to partake of the nature of two different species,’ says Calmet, ‘the mulberry and the fig; the former in its leaf, and the latter in its fruit. Its Greek name, συκόμορος sukomoros, is plainly descriptive of its character, being compounded of συκος sukos, a fig tree, and μορος moros, a mulberry tree. It is thus described by Norden: “They have in Egypt divers sorts of figs; but if there is any difference between them, a particular kind differs still more. I mean that which the sycamore bears, that they name in Arabic giomez. This sycamore is of the height of a beech, and bears its fruit in a manner quite different from other trees. […]

In Isaiah 9:10 are explicitly or implicitly the nine harbinger of judgment. The sycamore is one, the stone is another, and the utterance is another. Every single one of those harbingers has manifested in America.

On the day after 9/11, the Senate majority leader stood on Capitol Hill and proclaimed the ancient vow of defiance, word for word. He said, ‘The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with hewn stone.

All the signs—the nine harbingers—that appeared in the last days of ancient Israel now started appearing in America, from 9/11 itself to the fallen sycamore tree to the replacing of it to the hewn stones to the actual vows.

The Harbinger is an ancient mystery from the Bible. It is the template of judgment that God gave to ancient Israel. When the Northern Kingdom of Israel was in its last days, there were nine harbingers identified that appeared in the land.
