Last week we began to pray through Isaiah’s vision of God’s judgement on the world. Our prayers focused on God’s concern for His Church to proclaim a warning to the nations.
Even in the midst of God’s judgement, there will be some who will not bow; they will not escape punishment.
Under God’s mighty hand, the earth will suffer from physical force as well as from man’s moral decay. The decisions we make determine not only our destiny, but also impact the earth itself.
The brief moment of joy amid the horror and devastation that is to come, the prophet reflects God’s compassion even while bringing judgement.
Then suddenly the prophet hears the sound of nations…nations coming to Jerusalem with songs of worship. The glory of the Lord is being praised from the ends of the earth. It’s just a beginning, but it IS a beginning.
From the days of Noah, man has found false pleasure and tried to dull their pain through sin. The wine which once brought temporary joy will be gone and what will be left will be darkness, desolation and destruction
God is the Creator and is sovereign over His creation. Despite man’s attempts to “preserve” the earth, ultimately it’s man’s sins that is responsible for defiling it.
This week we will take an overview of Isaiah’s vision of God’s judgement of the world. We can practically hear his astonishment at the devastation. But in the midst of the destruction, the prophet hears the sound of praise and sees God’s glory coming from Jerusalem.
Gott wählte Israel als SEIN Zeuge für die Nationen, so das jeder IHN kennen und vertrauen kann. Das Israel ungeöhnliche Siege in der Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft erzielte, ist Teil dieses Zeugnisses. Anbetung ist eines der Wege, um Gottes gewaltige Wege der Befreiung zu verkündigen.
Wir haben gerade erst den Feiertag Tish B’Av beendet, welcher an die Zerstörung beider israelische Tempel erinnert. Es ist einer Zeit großer Trauer, selbst wenn die Juden an Gottes Versprechen festhalten, einen anderen Tempel zu bauen.
