Isaiah 24

Thank you LORD for Your love and wisdom that is reflected in Your Word which we find life and truth. Father, may You open up our hearts as we read and meditate upon Isaiah's prophecy found in the chapter below may Your everlasting mercy prevail over our lives, our nations and leaders in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Isaiah 24 (NKJV)

1. "Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty and makes it waste, distorts its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants.

2. And it shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

3. The land shall be entirely emptied and utterly plundered, for the LORD has spoken this Word.

4. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away; the haughty people of the earth languish.

5. The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6. Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

7. The new wine fails, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted sigh.

8. The mirth of the tambourine ceases, the noise of the jubilant ends, the joy of the harp ceases.

9. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

10. The city of confusion is broken down; every house is shut up, so that none may go in.

11. There is a cry for wine in the streets, all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12. In the city desolation is left, and the gate is stricken with destruction.

13. When it shall be thus in the midst of the land among the people, it shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.

14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; for the majesty of the LORD they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15. Therefore glorify the LORD in the dawning light, the name of the LORD God of Israel in the coastlands of the sea.

16. From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: "Glory to the righteous!" But I said, "I am ruined! Woe to me! The treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, indeed the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously."

17. Fear and pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

18. And it shall be that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.

19. The earth is violently broken, the earth is split open, the earth is shaken exceedingly.

20. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall totter like a hut; its trangression shall be heavy upon it, and it will fall, and not rise again.

21. It shall come to pass in that day that the LORD will punish on high the host of exalted ones, and on the earth the kings of the earth.

22. They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; after many days they will be punished.

23. Then the moon will be disgraced and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem and before His elders, gloriously."

AMEN, thank you LORD. GLORY TO THE LAMB OF GOD.

Invitation to salvation: I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that; Jesus Christ, the Son of God came in a human body to die for my sins so that I could have a new life where I am dead to sin and alive to God. I repent of my past sins and enter the Kingdom of light where I choose relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and with God as my loving Father today and forever. Thank you Father that because the Son has made me free, I am now free indeed." AMEN.

Congratulations, by grace you are saved and are now a new creation in Christ Jesus. The old life has passed away and you have received the free gift of salvation into your life (2 Corinthians 5:17) where you get to freely access everything I've shared in this post. To the glory of the Almighty God. Amen.
