April 17, 2026, Isaiah 7:10-25
10 Again the Lord spoke
to Ahaz: 11 “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep
as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I
will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to
the test.” 13 And he said, “Hear then, O house
of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God
also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give
you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel. 15 He shall
eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the
good. 16 For before the boy knows how to refuse the
evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will
be deserted. 17 The Lord will bring upon you and upon
your people and upon your father's house such days as have not come since the
day that Ephraim departed from Judah—the king of Assyria!”
18 In that day the Lord will whistle
for the fly that is at the end of the streams of Egypt, and for the bee that is
in the land of Assyria. 19 And they will all come
and settle in the steep ravines, and in the clefts of the rocks, and on
all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures.
20 In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that
is hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the
hair of the feet, and it will sweep away the beard also.
21 In that day a man will keep alive a young cow and two
sheep, 22 and because of the abundance of milk that
they give, he will eat curds, for everyone who is left in the land will
eat curds and honey.
23 In that day every place where there used to be a thousand
vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become briers and
thorns. 24 With bow and arrows a man will come
there, for all the land will be briers and thorns. 25 And
as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there
for fear of briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle
are let loose and where sheep tread.
How complete is the judgement that God brings against a
disobedient people without faith? How concerning should that be for us as
believers today? Do we pray for the lost and those without faith?
