"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 10 February 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "The Doom of Babylon Predicted"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 13:1-22
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 13:I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."
In Verses 1-5 of Isaiah 13 deals with Isaiah's prophecy concerning the message of God's Judgment against Israel's neighbors. The prophet's message of judgment begins with the word "burden", which also may be rendered "oracle." The fact that Isaiah "did" see these events indicates that He saw them in a vision as though they were actually happening. The prophet's first message was delivered against Babylon, the very nation that would eventually carry Judah into captivity. "Sanctified ones" and 'mighty ones" are the armies of Med-Persia, which God will rise up against Babylon to fulfill His purpose.
In Verses 6-18, Isaiah reference to the 'day of the Lord" is both immediate full of words of judgment and promise. with the darker side of the future emphasized. The "destruction" that he has immediately in view is the fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. But here he also saw the ultimate fall of 'Babylon in the last days (Revelation 14:18). The Medes are named in advance in verse 17, since they rose to power before the Persians.
In verse 19-22, Isiah closes this chapter by predicting that Babylon will be destroyed and never be rebuilt. Instead it will remain desolate and "shall never be inhabited." The reference to wild beast should be taken literally and not interpreted as demons. "Owls, satyrs, and dragons" are better rendered ostriches, wild goats, and jackals.
