Have you noticed that many Christians seem to be so defeated, sad, and disgruntled?
Have you met the believer that somehow sucks the joy out of life not just for them but for everyone around them? Have you noticed, even in a WORSHIP service, those that look mad that we are singing, aggravated that the worship leader would dare to ask us to STAND and SING?
Have you noticed the Christian who is always pessimistic… you know the one who seems to be the chairman of the COLD WATER COMMITTEE?
Maybe you find yourself easily discouraged by what is happening around you.
I mean, after all, things ARE bad.
But the question really is: DO WE HAVE ANY REASON TO PRAISE GOD? DO WE HAVE ANY REASON FOR HOPE?
Chapters 24-27 go together.
They are eschatological.
I know that’s a big word, it simply means end events.
Eschatology is the study of end times.
Chapter 24, I believe, points to the Tribulation.
All the wrath and devastation poured out on the whole Earth.
What thrills me about these 4 chapters is that Isaiah spends one chapter dedicated to wrath and destruction, but 3 pointing to the blessing of God’s Kingdom coming.
One of the important things we need to remember as Christians is this: God’s Kingdom is right now, and not yet.
There is a sense in which we are a part of God’s Kingdom and His Kingdom work right now.
But there is also a sense in which God’s Kingdom has not yet fully come like it will in the future.
How then should we live as citizens of God’s Kingdom while living in THIS WORLD AND THIS AGE?
We need to prioritize our lives NOW to reflect God’s Kingdom that will come.
So what is it that Isaiah emphasizes about the coming Kingdom that we should be living out now?
