June 12 – No Trace - Isaiah 34:8-15

 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.

June 11 – Edom Judged - Isaiah 34:5-7

 

June 11 – Edom Judged - Isaiah 34:5-7

 

     The Lord has one nation that he is angry with.  It is the Edomites.  The Edomites were a Semitic people who lived in the region of Edom, south of the Dead Sea1. They were descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. They had a long history of conflict and rivalry with the Israelites1. They were conquered by the Babylonians in the 6th century BC.  Isiah sees their destruction. The sword of the
Lord is covered with fat and blood from animals. 

      The capital city of Edom was Bozrah and there will be such a great slaughter even the animals will die with the people.  The land will be soaked with blood and the dust of the earth will be drenched with it.  The question is why?  The answer is because they will be part of the nations who will plunder Judah, but they will suffer the same fate.

June 7 – Near and Far - Isaiah 33:13-16

 June 7 – Near and Far - Isaiah 33:13-16

 

     The Lord calls to those far away and near.  Hear what the Lord has done and acknowledge His power.  HE then states that the sinners in Zion are terrified and trembling grips the sinners.  Then he asks the question, who can dwell with the consuming fire or everlasting burning?

      Isaiah lists the lifestyle that brings blessing and favor.  Walk righteously, speak what is right, reject gain from extortion, and don’t accept bribes.  Don’t listen to plots of murder and shut your eyes to evil.  The promise is that they will dwell on the heights and above the things of man.  They will find refuge.  Their needs will be met, and the blessing of the Lord will be upon them.
