Isaiah 59-63

09/17/24 • 21 min

The Lord calls his people to fast, but to fast while doing as one pleases, oppressing others, or causing strife and violence, is not true fasting. True fasting involves humility and submission to God, freeing those who are unjustly bound and oppressed, feeding those who are hungry, and caring for those who are in need. The sins of God’s people separate them from a holy God, and He hides His face from them. As representatives of God’s holiness, Israel had failed to act justly. Even so, the Redeemer will come to Zion and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression. A day is coming when the Lord will be the light of his people and their days of sorrow will be over.

Isaiah 55-58, Proverbs 1

The Lord invites Israel into his presence, and in our opening verses, this is depicted symbolically with a lavish feast, provided free of charge by God Almighty himself. This happens when the wicked one abandons his way and the sinful one his thoughts, returning to the Lord who has compassion. Even foreigners who are not from the nation of Israel will be blessed by the Lord who brings them into his house which will be called a house of prayer for all nations. By contrast, Israel’s evil and lazy watchmen will be judged. Idols will not be able to save wicked men from God’s wrath.

Next Episode

Isaiah 64-66, Proverbs 2

We have reached the final chapters of the book of Isaiah, in which Isaiah continues to prophesy about things yet to come. You’ll recall that in our chronological reading of the Old Testament, so far the nation of Israel has fallen to the Babylonians, but Jerusalem and the nation of Judah have not yet been conquered. Even so, Isaiah prophesies in the past tense as he speaks of the desolation of Jerusalem in the future, for any many ways the focus is not on the future desolation as much as it is on the future restoration of God’s people. A time is coming when the Lord will gather his people back to Jerusalem, but when he does, he will also gather all nations and languages to himself and they will come and see His glory.
