Thy Kingdom Come, Part 4
October 8, 2012
Often, God brings trials and tribulations into our lives in order to make us conscious of our need to pray. Remember David’s pain after the death of his son with Bathsheba? Once He turned to the Lord, David was immediately forgiven and healed. We will always find forgiveness in the name of the Lord.

The most important thing to have in our walk with the Lord is faith. Faith brings about patience. We see in Isaiah 25 and 26 that when we wait upon the Lord, He will bring about our salvation, and bring our enemies low. We don’t need to take justice into our own hands. We simply wait upon the Lord, and He will always prove Himself faithful and true.

1 Corinthians 15:55 says, “O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory?” Throughout Isaiah, we see that through Christ we are delivered from death and it has no power over us. Our earthly lives are just a waiting period for something better — whether Christ comes in our lifetime or not, we will see Him face to face.

The next thing on God’s prophetic calendar is the rapture. He will take up His children from the earth to be in His presence until He returns to earth to establish His millennial kingdom. Christ will set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years, and those who were raptured will reign with Him. Today, Pastor Jeff encourages us to join Christ’s family now so that we might enter into His Kingdom.

As we get into Isaiah 24, Pastor Jeff reminds us that the earth will not escape the judgment of the Lord. Isaiah prophesies that no man will be free from God’s punishment, except for those who believe in Him. As believers we know that death takes us immediately into God’s presence, but for unbelievers death brings immediate torment.

As we look through the promises of Scripture, again and again the Lord supports and upholds His people through troubles. We can take this as God’s promise that He will preserve us through the tribulation to come!

Throughout the centuries, the Lord has continually proven to nations that He is the Lord and that we should be following Him alone. In Isaiah, Tyre is a picture of materialism and commercialism — the people put their trust in earthly riches, and because of it, the Lord brought this great city its knees. Despite this period of darkness, Pastor Jeff reminds us that Tyre was restored to serve the Lord.

As we get deeper into our study of Isaiah, Pastor Jeff points out that these ancient cities represent different social and political matters. Isaiah foretold that these cities would fall because of their wickedness, and his prophecies apply to our own day as well. Money, status, organized religion, and other things occupy our society’s time and effort — but none of these things matter eternally.

We will never be self-sufficient, but the Lord often needs to remind us of this fact. When we allow other things in the world to take our attention off the Lord, He will bring us back to Himself. One way He does this is by bringing trials our way. When we try to solve our own problems, we only end up frustrated. In Isaiah, we find a warning to deal with situations by turning to the Lord for help first.

Thanks for joining us as we continue our study in Isaiah 22. Despite those critics who constantly ridicule the Bible, Pastor Jeff draws our attention to how discoveries in modern archaeology perfectly mirror what we find in Isaiah and other books of the Bible. In fact, many even use the Bible as a guidebook for their discoveries. Once again, we see that the Bible is the ultimate standard of truth!

The Scriptures say that the Lord will return as a “thief in the night.” We have no idea when He will appear, but we do know this: until the Lord comes back for His church, we will suffer tribulations. Pastor Jeff teaches us that if we pay close attention to the Scriptures, the Lord gives us clues regarding when He will return.
