"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 27 June 2012"
Today's Blog Title: "Israel's Futile Idolatry"
Today's Blog Scripture Reading: Isaiah 57:1-21
Today's Blog Key Verse: Isaiah 57:19 "I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near," says the LORD, "And I will heal him."
The message that was begun in chapter 56 is continued throughout this chapter. The "righteous perisheth" refers to the suffering of the godly. "Slaying the children" refers to the practice of child sacrifice. "Clifts of the rocks" is a description unique to Isaiah, appearing only here and in Isaiah 2:21.
The terminology "cast ye up, prepare the way," is a technical term for constructing a highway by heaping up a mound of earth. God is pictured here as inhabiting both "eternity" and the hearts of those who have a "contrite and humble spirit." Chapter 57, ends with the observation that "there is no peace...to the wicked," who are described as a "troubled (restless) sea."
Today's Biblical Truth: "If you want changes in your life that God hasn't made yet, don't become impatient, instead, leave it n God's Hands, and Trust in God's Timetable."
May God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Grace be with you all.
"Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness." Psalm 119:142
