Isaiah 27
-“In that day” the LORD will use
His sword, which is fierce, mighty, and great, to punish the twisted serpent,
Leviathan, who will be fleeing. God will kill the dragon who lives in the sea
(Isaiah 27:1; 66:16, Revelation 13:1; 20:1-10). “In that day” a vineyard of
fine wine will be sung over for the LORD is its keeper. He waters it every
moment so that no one will damage it. He guards it night and day with no wrath
trampling and burning all that comes against it (Isaiah 27:2-4J. This is the
trampled vineyard of Isaiah chapter 5 restored in God’s new earth with
protection and ultimate care filling the whole earth with the fruit of
righteousness (Isaiah 27:5-6). *Application* God is the strongest and best hope
to destroy our enemies and take great care of us. Trust in His security and
protection.
-While Jacob’s iniquity will be
forgiven in God’s great mercy, His enemies will be expelled, eradicated, and
blown away in His striking. The idols of old will be pulverized chalk stones
and will not stand. For the isolated that are outside of God’s Kingdom, their
Maker will not have compassion on them and their Creator will not be gracious
to them (Isaiah 27:7-11). *Application* God’s mercy and grace only apply to the
repentant.
-“In that day” the LORD will
start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates all the way to the
brook of Egypt. The sons of Israel will be gathered up one by one, and the
exiles will come home to worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem
(Isaiah 27:12-13). *Application* Our God will take care of His children just as
He has promised. All will be restored to its proper blessing by His providence.
