Remember that this is a brief picture of the Apocalypse… the end of times.
Chapter 24 was about Judgment of the world, 25-27 are about the blessings God has planned for Judah in the Kingdom Age.
Most of this chapter is a song of victory by God’s People.
Trust like you belong to the Lord
Reversal of position The Beat Down will Be Lifted Up
Contrasting of Cities is a contrasting of Kingdoms
One City that had been exalted is now laid low.
The other city, marked with humility and poverty will be exalted.
Those who trust in the Lord find strong salvation.
verse 1-2
Those who trust in the Lord find perfect peace verse 3
Those who trust in the Lord find perfect stability 4
Live Like You Belong to the Lord
It bears repeating that the theme of Isaiah’s prophecies up to this point had been that Judah should not trust in their own abilities, nor the military might of allied nations, nor the gods of other nations.
Israel had not followed this advise and had gone off into captivity at the hands of the Assyrians.
Judah was on the verge of going into exile at the hand of the Babylonians.
The point is clear: Whatever blessing and benefit would come to God’s people would NOT be because they had followed His Counsel perfectly, but because HE showed them grace as HIS PEOPLE!
It mus be noted however, that God people are marked by righteousness.
Isaiah points out several markers of righteous people, and contrasts the wicked.
(Almost this whole passage is Isaiah talking to God about what He is doing and how is people are responding)
God makes a way for the righteous.
So much of this section reminds me of the Psalms.
God will make a way where there seems to be no way.
He lears paths so the righteous can do His will.
Testimonies could be made in this room of how God turned impossible situations into things that came to pass.
7
The righteous desire to make God’s name famous.
8
3.

4. The wicked never learn, even when good things happen to them.
10-11

7.
The righteous recognize that dead former master’s have no power 14
8.
The righteous recognize that God’s work blesses God’s people 15.
I think its important to remember that this is future.
Isaiah sees a time when Israel is increased in size and number.
9.
The righteous learn to trust through hard lessons of discipline 16-18
10.
The righteous will see a resurrection 19.
See Daniel 12.2
11.
The righteous will need to prepare to endure the coming wrath 20-21
