The Condition of the Earth
Isaiah 24:3-4
5) 3)The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4)The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.”
These verses describe the condition of the earth, and especially the land of Palestine during the coming tribulation. It will be wasted away by judgement until the second coming of Christ. The nations of the earth will be broken (Isaiah 24:21, Daniel 2:44-45). After this has come to pass “the LORD of host shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously” (Isaiah 24:23). Notice the present tense used, as is frequently the case in the Bible, for the future, in order to express something that is certain to occur. It will occur just like the Lord said it would. It sure does seem like we are getting close to something big happening. Look what is going on in Gaza. Could this be a preview of things to soon come?
Teresa and I want to wish all of you ladies a Happy Mother’s Day! We appreciate you all so much.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Jeff
