"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 15 February 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "Proclamation Against Moab"
Today's Scripture Reading: Isaiah 15:1-9
Today's Key Verse: Isaiah 15:3 "In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth; On the top of their houses and in their streets, Everyone will wail, weeping bitterly."
In Genesis 19:30-38 we read about Lot and his daughters and the origin of the people of Moab. In Verse 1 we are told that Ar and Kir were cities of Moab. The high places were sites of pagan worship and the weeping and wailing refers to the mourning over the destruction of the cities of Moab. Baldness and having one's beard beard cut off were aspects of a mourning ritual as well as sackcloth and weeping part of the Middle Eastern mourning rites.
The weeping and wailing would extend even to the soldiers who were hardened fighting men. In verse 5 "My heart" refers to Isaiah who felt sympathy for Moab. The city of Moab was a southwestern border city of Moab on the south side of the Dead Sea. Because of the numerous refugees the waters and the green grass of the oasis would not survive.
The refugees from Moab were fleeing one tragedy after another in their flight southwest, they turned to Judah in the west for asylum. As would be the case with Israel in Isaiah 1:9; 6:13; 10:20; and 11:16, but not the case with Assyria (Isaiah 14:22), and Philistia (14:30). In the close of the chapter 15 it tells us that "a remnant would survive in Moab."

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. Pray also 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."
Yours in Christ,
