Isaiah predicts the siege of Jerusalem by Syria and Sennacherib’s army to take them into captivity. As we have seen from previous predictions, it only seems in proper order that Jerusalem was next. Unfortunately, many in the city didn’t listen to the warning to put on sackcloth and mourn, but instead chose to “eat, drink, and be merry.”
And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. Isaiah 22:13
Even though this prophecy had nothing to do with us, it gives us a glimpse into how God guides His people. If we fail to acknowledge Him and keep our eyes glued to Him, we may also face correction. Much like the invasion of Jerusalem, the United States had a large number of immigrants crossing our borders, causing many to believe it was done on purpose as a way to take over. Currently, many are being sent back to their home countries, hopefully averting possible trouble; at least this is what the corrupt media are telling us. Remember, our media is not a reliable source of information. Personal experience is your best source. For example, we have rental properties, and our pool of tenants has dropped dramatically. Apartments that we had many applicants for a few years ago, with little trouble renting, are now taking us several weeks to rent, which leads me to believe that it is true that many immigrants are being sent back to their homelands.
No matter what others are doing around you, make sure you keep your eyes on Jesus and give the Father the worship He deserves, so when trouble abounds, He will remember your loyalty and love for Him.
