Isaiah 23 - 27 (18th July) - Ivy

Isaiah, known as the latter prophets is also often thought of as one of the greatest writing prophets. Isaiah wrote during the stormy period marking the expansion of the Assyrian empire and the decline of Israel.

We do see from the book of Isaiah that unveils the full dimension of God’s judgment and salvation.

Isaiah 23 - A Prophecy About Tyre

Isaiah prophesize over Tyre and warns of the destruction and how God will deal with Tyre and redeem her too.

Isaiah 24 - The LORD's Devastation of the Earth

God spoke of his destruction of earth in Isaiah 24. Scary isn’t it?

Isaiah 25&26 Praise

After God spoke of the devastation, immediately the next chapter Isaiah exalts God and speaks of God’s faithfulness towards his people.

From these 2 chapters, it’s a reminder to stay faithful to the Lord so that His righteousness can enter. As God’s people we’ll have to trust Him who is our Rock eternal. God will establish His peace upon our land. He will enlarge our nation for His glory. As if experiencing birth pains, God will bring deliverance and salvation eventually. How we want to see deliverance and salvation in our land!

Isaiah 27 - Deliverance of Israel

After warfare and the Lord promised deliverance to those who trusted him and they will worship God on the holy mountain.

Verse 12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates [m] to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered up one by one. 13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
