ISAIAH CHAPTER 1
SCRIPTURE: CHAPTER 1 vs. 1-4
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel (read: the Christian church today) doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
APPLICATION: CHAPTER 1, vs 1-4
v. 1-4– There are so many people now, also, whom the Lord is calling, and they will not listen, so they don’t know Him. Many of these call themselves Christians, but they are content with their Salvation, and slip back into this world while waiting for eternity. They are not living in the loving personal relationship that the Lord desires for His People. The world is falling into the abyss of hell. Governments are outlawing acknowledgement of Our Lord, and many so called Christians are sitting back in silence, believing the lies put forth by deceived church leaders….like the soon coming of Christ…to wisk us all away without being persecuted….or, the lie that is told that Christ told us not to make our voices heard in our governments.
Others are not saved at all, and haven’t listened to His call of Salvation.
