May 6 – The Dead Live - Isaiah 26:19-21
Isaiah relays a promise. The dead in the Lord will live. Their bodies will rise. The dust shall be reunited with the soul and spirit. They will wake up and shout for joy. This is a reference to the rapture and the coming of the Lord. Like the dew in the morning which is constant so the earth will one day give up its dead.
The prophet exhorts the righteous to enter their private place and hide themselves for a while until the wrath of God passes. This is a place of protection. The Lord is coming out of His dwelling. This means the Lord will manifest from the supernatural to the natural and punish the people of the earth. The tribulation period will be that time. The earth will disclose the blood shed and those that were slain upon it. Jesus talks about that which is hidden will one day be shouted from the housetops. Isaiah saw this in this chapter.
