!!!!!! Introduction
Dear Brother and Sister in the Lord,
Announce theme
God sent his prophet Isaiah to his people with the message that affairs between them and God were not right.
Israel broke covenant with the Lord.
The result was that God, because his holiness and righteousness demanded it, had no other alternative but to call his people to account.
This account is presented as a court case between God and his people.
They were called to reason with God (verse 18).
But, as we have seen in the first section of this chapter, they had nothing to offer for their reconciliation to God, He offered his mercy of forgiveness.
He promised to wash them as white as snow, and whiter than wool.
Now once again this picture stands before us.
Israel was called to be God’s bride.
She chose to rebel, and became a prostitute.
Her relationship with God is described in terms of impure metal, containing dross; or as diluted wine, of no value.
Her leaders became adulterators themselves, leading the people /away/ from God, instead of /to/ Him.
And now God’s holiness and righteousness called for judgement.
The purpose is to restore his people to holiness.
We need to know that once again there was nothing they could offer to reconcile themselves to God.
It was God who took the initiative to restore and to sanctify.
!!!!!! Judgment: the Object
Who executes judgement?
The Lord
