Nov 29 – Therefore the Redeemed - Isaiah 51:7-11
The Lord then tells the people to hear what is right and take his instruction to heart. He tells them to not fear mere mortal or listen to their insults. They will be eaten up like a moth eats a garment or how the worm devours the wood. The righteousness of the Lord will last forever, and His salvation is for all generations.
Isaiah says that his readers should awake and see the arm of the Lord. Remember days gone by and generations of old. Was it not Israel that cut Rahab to pieces. Rahab, in these passages, takes the meaning of primeval, chaotic, multi-headed sea-dragon or Leviathan.
The Lord is the one who dried up the Red Sea and made a way through it for the nation of Israel. Therefore, the redeemed shall enter Zion with singing. Everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them. Sorrow, sadness, and sighing will flee or run away. This of course became a powerful song during the Jesus movement.
