June 12 – No Trace - Isaiah 34:8-15
The prophet continues his graphic snapshot of the future fate of the Edomites. He also gives the
Reason for their destruction and judgment. It is a day od retribution because of the treatment of
Judah at the hands of the Edomites. Even thought they are descendants of Jacob’s brother Esau they
Did not act like family.
The nation of Edom will be judged to the point where nothing but rock, dust, and complete
Destruction is their faith. Their cities are turned into smoldering ruins. Weeds, brambles, and nettles
Will eventually taken over the ruins. Animals will inhabit the homes and ruined palaces. The nobles
Will have no kingdom to rule. It will be from generation. Today Isarel inhabits the land but there is
No trace of the Edomites and there has been none since the sixth century B.C.
