Sunrise on Temple Mount in Jerusalem; Back to Previous Devotion

July 27 - Morning

"See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth
and devastate it;
he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants—

it will be the same
for priest as for people,
for the master as for his servant,
for the mistress as for her servant,
for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender,
for debtor as for creditor.

The earth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.

The Lord has spoken this word.

The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the heavens languish with the earth.

The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.

Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.

The new wine dries up and the vine withers;
all the merrymakers groan.
The joyful timbrels are stilled,
the noise of the revelers has stopped,
the joyful harp is silent.
No longer do they drink wine with a song;
the beer is bitter to its drinkers.
The ruined city lies desolate;
the entrance to every house is barred."

- Isaiah 24:1-10

God's Destruction of the Earth    

Outline of Isaiah chapter 24:
Destruction is mentioned 16 times in this chapter

24:1
"lay waste" Hb. signifies "emptying"
"he will ruin its face" indicates an earthquake
"ruin" means "to twist"
"face" speaks of the earth's surface
"scatter inhabitants" similar to the tower of Babel

24:2
Society is effected:

  • religiously
  • all social life
  • financially

No one can stop it

24:5
Modern society is concerned with physical pollution.
God is concerned about moral pollution.
God will destroy the physical planet because of the moral corruption.

"disobeyed the laws" refers to the knowledge of God's law that is written on men's hearts and
revealed through General Revelation (Romans 2:14-16)

"everlasting covenant" refers to God's covenant with Noah for mankind in Genesis 9:16

24:7 
The wine dries up in judgment.
The best wine is restored in Isaiah 25:6

24:10
"the ruined city" is a general reference to the cities of man.
"desolate" is tohu in the Hebrew or "chaos" as in Genesis 1:2

"houses barred" because of crime.
The home is the last line of defense when the nation is overrun and the city is captured.

24:12
The city gate has been broken down.

24:14
This begins the rejoicing of the believers and godly survivors
It is a song of Thansgiving.

Chapters 24-27 are a mix of judgments and songs of rejoicing

This song begins in the West. Isaiah heard it from there first.
Then the East is exhorted to join and also the islands.
This refers to rejoicing Gentiles.

They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
    from the west they acclaim the Lord’s majesty.
Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord;
    exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel,
    in the islands of the sea.
From the ends of the earth we hear singing:
    “Glory to the Righteous One.”
But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!
    Woe to me!
The treacherous betray!
    With treachery the treacherous betray!”
- Isaiah 24:14-16

  Christian Quote from Church History
"Kindness makes a person attractive. If you would win the world, melt it, do not hammer it."
- Alexander Maclaren
Something to Ponder??

One analyst of Church attendance poll numbers made the following comment concerning the drop in church attendance and declining churches in America over the last twenty years, "I"m somewhat comforted by the idea that Americans have left dead churches." (here)

Pasha (Hb) – to transgress (Eng) - The Hebrew word pasha means “to transgress” and “to rebel.”
