Tyre & Future Desolation, Part 1
September 27, 2012
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.

Hebrews 12:6 says, “the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." God’s judgment is not solely for punishment — it stems from His great love for us. When God corrects us, we should rejoice, knowing that He has accepted us as His children, and that He cares enough to keep us in line.

God’s love wasn’t only for the children of Israel — it is extended to the whole world! Pastor Jeff encourages us as believers to be salt and light. Instead of being content in our own salvation, we need to reach out to the ends of the earth, bringing God’s Word to others.

As believers, we need to commit to studying prophecy. It’s not just a gray area of Scripture that no one really understands. In today’s study, Pastor Jeff reminds us that prophecy makes up half of Scripture. This shows that prophecy is vital for believers. The fulfillment of prophecy is one of the greatest witnessing tools we have. Don’t neglect it!

God uses prophecy as a witnessing tool. He has informed us of coming events centuries before they occur, and He is always right. Satan, on the other hand, gives us signs and wonders, but they are made up of lies and deceit. Satan is not a prophet; but God is, and we can trust every word He says.

In today’s study, Pastor Jeff draws parallels between Isaiah’s prophecies and modern nations today. Through these prophecies, we see once again that the Bible isn’t just ancient history — it’s relevant for us today! Also, Isaiah shows us God’s might as He wipes out those who oppose Him, and preserves those who turn to Him. Pastor Jeff reminds us that God will do the same even today.

As we finish up Isaiah 17, we see that the Lord judges those who forsake Him, but He answers those who call on Him. Despite Israel’s sins, when they turned back to the Lord and called upon Him, He delivered them. In the same way, Pastor Jeff exhorts us to bathe every aspect of our lives in prayer. God promises to answer His people when they call.

As we begin Isaiah 17, we see a prophecy against Damascus, a city that was proud and needed to be brought low. Are you resisting God? Like Jonah discovered, God will never let His children run away. God loves us, and He will do whatever it takes to humble us and bring us back to Him.
