Oct 25 – Past Forgotten - Isaiah 65:13-16

 

     The prophet puts a contrast between the believer and unbeliever.  The believe will eat, drink, and rejoice.  The pagan will be hungry, thirsty, and put to shame.  Servants of the Lord will have joy in their hearts, and it will be expressed through song.  The evil ones will have anguish, sorrow, wail and have brokenness of spirit.

     Evil ones will become a curse and byword.  The Sovereign Lord will put them to death.  His servants will have a new name.  In that day the blessing of the Lord will be upon the land.  It will belong to the one true God.  They will swear by the name of the Lord.  Past troubles will be hidden and forgotten.
