PROVERBS OF STEEL FOR APRIL 24, 2024

 

April 24 – Earth Suffers - Isaiah 24:7-14

 April 24 – Earth Suffers - Isaiah 24:7-14

 

     The prophet continues with his prophecy of the future.  The party is over.  The sound of musical instruments has ceased.  The wine and food have ceased.  Cities are desolate and homes are barred or closed.  The joy is turned to gloom.  All joyful sound has vanished from the earth.  Cities are left in ruins.  Entry point into communities have been battered to pieces.  The earth has been ruined.  Trees bear no fruit, and the harvest has ceased.  All the elements that would feed, clothe, and shelter society have ended and so all suffer along with nature itself.  Not a rosy time.

April 23 – Earth Judged - Isaiah 24 -1:6

 April 23 – Earth Judged - Isaiah 24 -1:6

 

     The prophet now sees the earth being judged and devastated by the Lord.  He is going to lay waste to it and scatter its inhabitants.  This will happen in tribulation times.  It will not matter status, title, wealth, position, popularity, or power.  All will suffer the same fate.   Water will evaporate, the heavens and earth will languish together. 

     The people of the earth are the cause for this judgment.  They have disobeyed the laws of God.  They have broken faith with God.  The curse God spoke is going to consume the earth and the people must bear for responsibility for their guilt.   Ultraviolet rays will burn people.  The atmosphere will be affected, and many will die to the point where very few will be left.  We see in the 21 judgments of God outlined that the populated of the earth will be decimated.  Not a rosy future.
