Sept 18 – Endless Trap - Isaiah 57:7-10
Sept 18 – Endless Trap - Isaiah 57:7-10
Isaiah then continues to talk to the wicked. Many at those times had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof. You made their bed on a high a lofty hill. Even today high places are where offerings to demons are made. They made their sacrifices there. However, in private they had pagan symbols and forsook the Lord. They committed adultery with these idols. They gave offerings of olive oil and perfume to Molek.
They sent ambassadors to other lands to learn of their pagan ways. They added to the pantheon of gods and idols they served. They even went to the length of seeking mediums to contact the dead. Isaiah of course knew the dead had no contact with the living. They had become weary with the ways of their lives but refused to give up on those ways. Instead of seeking the lord and His strength they were trying to make it on their own strength and failed. Such is the folly of idol worship. Instead of freedom idol worship is an endless trap.

Sept 17 – Address to the Wicked - Isaiah 57:3-6
Sept 17 – Address to the Wicked - Isaiah 57:3-6
Isaiah changes his tone and addresses the wicked. He calls them children of witchcraft. Offspring of immoral people. They are mockers, and sneer, stick out their tongues, brood of rebels and offspring of liars. They are immoral when they worship oaks and trees. They have sacrificed their children in ravines to pagan gods. They have poured out drink offerings and grain offerings in full view of the Lord. So, when he brings His judgment for their rebellion, disobedience, and paganism. He will not relent. Judgment is coming swift and sure. The Lord is not mocked whatever a person sows they will reap.
