Today's Reading is Isaiah 2, Psalm 38.17-22
Isaiah 2
This chapter deals with the last days, un the Millenial Kingdom, the fourth peak, (Isaiah 2.1-4; Micah 4.1-3). Jerusalem will become the center of the world! Everyone will be going to Mount Zion, the Mountain of the Lord. 4And He will judge between the nations,And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war. (NASB). At the United Nations, there is a stutue similar to the one below where they MISQUOTE Scripture for their own ends. The caption for the statute said (paraphrase) 'And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.' There was NO mention of God judging between nations. We need to be carful of misquoting Scripture for our own ends.
The Day of the Lord (verse 6-22), that will be a day of good news and bad news for the peoples of the world. The good news is for those whose know Jesus Christ it will be a day of glorification and resureection! That day will be bad news for those who refuse Jesus Christ in their lives and will face the Judgement. I believe we are getting closer to that day, everyday. What is the Day of the Lord? Some have identified that as a period of time, I have identified as a 24-hour period. According to the NIV Study Bible, it is a time of judgement and/or blessing as God intervenes decisively in the affairs of nations (see Zephaniah 1.4-2.3).
This chapter also deals deals with the captivity as well, in verse 5-20 Assyria and babylon would bring terror upon Judah in Isaiah's day. So when the prophet Isaiah sees this vision he sees it been fulfilled in his day (Peak 1) and in the future (Peak 4).
One phrase that occurs frequently in Isaiah is ON THAT DAY. We will spend one day looking at that phrase.
