"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 20 February 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "Moab Destroyed"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 16:1-14
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 16:14 "But now the Lord has spoken, saying, "Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble."
Moab's only hope is in making peace with Judah. "Send ye the lamb" means they must pay tribute to the Davidic dynasty. "Sela" refers to Petra, the capital of Edom which was carved out of the rocks and served as a natural hiding place. "Let mine outcasts dwell with thee" seems to be referring to Israel's fleeing to Petra during the last days to escape the invasion from the north (which was predicted in Ezekiel 38 and 39). The reference to one sitting on the "throne" in the "tabernacle of David" would seem to place this passage in a millennial context. Moab's salvation ultimately lies in the coming One, Jesus Christ the Messiah, whose throne will be established.
In verse 6 we see the word "pride." The Bible tells us that pride is what was downfall of Lucifer, who thought that even though he was a created being, he considered himself to be above His Creator and was casted out of heaven and there on this planet, he caused the downfall of sinful man, and become the god of this world for now. "Pride" is a regular target of the Lord's judgment.
In verse 8 "vine" is a figure of speech for Moab. In Isaiah 5:1-7, we can read about Israel's description as a vine. The "sea" in this verse, would probably refer to the Dead Sea, because it was the nearest large body of water to Moab.
The people of Moab would come to the sanctuary to pray but it would be of no avail for as long as they worshiped false gods, they would be doomed to pain, judgment and recurring trouble.
In Isaiah 15:11 there is a prophecy against Moab that would was realized 3 years later. However a remnant would remain (Isaiah 15:9). Moab had far more hope of Salvation than did either Babylon or Philistia.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ. Also Pray for God's Peace and Blessings on the Nation of Israel. Always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, I CAN'T, "GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
Remember that JESUS REIGNS and that He is ALWAYS in TOTAL CONTROL.
