READING LIST FOR POETRY AND PROPHECY
Today's Reading is Isaiah 24; Psalms 45
King James Version with Web Encyclopedia Links:Isaiah 24; Psalms 45
Isaiah 24.1-27.13 is concerned with the judgements and the blessings of the last days. Do you believe we are in the last days? It will a time of God’s victory over the forces of satan. These chapters are a conclusion of Isaiah 13-23. Isaiah 24 is a very sobering chapter,. It speaks of the devastation of the earth by the Lord God. How will it be done? Of course though the seven seals, trumpets and bowls that are in Revelation. But let us remember God’s mercy precedes His judgement. There is still time for people to repent, to come to Jesus Christ before the end has come. In chapter 24, God will judge his enemies.
Such words as lay waste, devastate, ruin are common in this chapter. Notice in verse 2, the judgement will be for ALL of his enemies. Notice in verse 5 the earth is defiled by its people. The earth is polluted, not only in the sense of the environment but also the earth has polluted God’s laws, they have violated his statutes. In verse 6 earth’s inhabitants are burned up. Do you believe there is such a thing as the Greenhouse effect? Well, burning of hydrocarbons in the air has increased the concentration of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide and will increase the temperatures which will affect the climate the ecology and man. Only a few olives and grapes will be left (v. 6; 17.6,11)
In verse 14-16a, the godly remnant will survive the judgement. All through history of Israel, it is the godly remnant who survives judgement. This will be true in the last days as well! These will rejoice in the Righteous One regardless of what happens in the world. The doctrine of the remnant is a very important concept of Isaiah (see Isaiah 1.9; 10.20-22; 11.11, 16; 14.22, 30).
In verse 17-18, we see pictures of animals trying to escape traps but were unable to do so. In Revelation 6.15-17, no matter where sinners go, they will be unable to escape from the wrath of God. This is the only way that you can escape the wrath of God, run to Jesus Christ and you will be saved. The wrath is coming very soon. Remember mercy comes before judgement. In the first coming, Jesus came as the Lamb, as our Savior, in the second coming, He is coming as Judge and King, Will you be ready when He comes?

Isaiah 24, with Commentaries verse by verse
Psalm 45, with Commentaries verse by verse
Psalm 45 is a wedding song, written by the Sons of Korah. The bride was a foreign princess (v. 10,12). The groom is a type of Christ. Some have interpreted this to be when the Christ comes back to be with the Church at the second coming. Isn't this appropraite that it is related to the chapter in Isaiah.
