August 30 – Isaiah 66:22-24
“As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the LORD, “so will your name and descendants endure. From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD. “And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
This is a heckuva way to end the book of Isaiah!
Just as the Bible ends with the new heaven and new earth in the Revelation, Isaiah ends with promises to the overcomer. To those who ignore the Lord God Almighty and rebel against Him, they will perish in ways that are loathsome.
Isaiah prophesied the coming Messiah and the New Jerusalem. We know that the Messiah has come in the form of Jesus Christ. We no longer wait for Him Who will bring us into direct relationship with God.
We do wait, however, for the return of the Messiah, when He will bring ultimate justice and final peace. Do you wait with breathless anticipation?
