King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 4; ; Psalm 78

Today's Reading is Isaiah 4, Psalm 78:56-64

Isaiah 4
In verse 1, notice the phrase in that day (Isaiah 2.2; 2.11, 17, 20), this is some time in the future. There was a shortage of men that the women would grab hold of a man and said that they would provide their own food and clothes only that they have the man's family name to remove the disgrace. The war would make them widows and childless.

In verses 4.2-6, an oracle of redemption was sounded, of the Branch of the Lord who was the Messiah. Notice the phrase'in that day' occuring. This was speaking of the Millenial Kingdom and the Second Coming. The Messiah will come and wash away the filth by a spirit of judgement and a spirit of fire (verse 4). Verse 5 should remind us of the cloud which indicate the Presence of God in the wilderness (Exodus 13.21-22). In verse 6, God's presence in the cloud and fire will be a shelter and a shade from the heat of day and a hiding place from the storm and rain. God's presence will be there to protect Zion.

Psalm 78 with Commentaries, verse by verse
Psalm 78:56-64
Is a maskil of Asaph. Verses 56-64 is che desrciption about rebellion from the Isralites in the promised land. This is seen frequently seen in the book of Judges. We see that when the people rejected God, He turned his back on them and allowed the inhabitants of the land to attack them. We, hopefully, should learn from other people's mistakes. We should look at what God did to the Israelites and learn how God blessed them and caused adversity on them.
