Read Chapter Eleven


Isaiah 10-13

There’s Hell and Holy coming.  It is hard to interpret Isaiah as it relates to our times but one thing is sure; God reigns and He’s filled with fury and with love.

“Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger…” 13:9

If you had made the universe and humans were your crowning achievement, wouldn’t you be filled with indignation and fury at our prideful arrogance and outright cruelty at how we treat each other and your creation?

“For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation…” 12:2

And couldn’t you simultaneously be filled with love and compassion for humans who are downtrodden, hurting, seeking good, pursuing peace, helping each other and caring for your world?

READ CHAPTER 11

And because you had made us all couldn’t you also be trusted to be fair knowing that each group were made up of humans who were, in comparison to you, “all of us like sheep have gone astray”? 
Isaiah 53:6
