Therefore, we can be absolutely certain God will do all that He has foretold in the future as well. We can rest assured in His unfailing Word of Truth. All the prophecies came to be fulfilled exactly as foretold, apart from those which are yet to come.
Isaiah 28
At that time[l] the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will become a beautiful crown
and a splendid diadem for the remnant of his people.
6 He will give discernment to the one who makes judicial decisions,
and strength to those who defend the city from attackers.[m]
The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem
14 Therefore, listen to the Lord’s message,
you who mock,
you rulers of these people
who reside in Jerusalem.
15 For you say,
“We have made a treaty with death,
with Sheol[ac] we have made an agreement.[ad]
When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by[ae]
it will not reach us.
For we have made a lie our refuge,
we have hidden ourselves in a deceitful word.”[af]
16 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord, says:
“Look, I am laying[ag] a stone in Zion,
an approved[ah] stone,
set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation.[ai]
The one who maintains his faith will not panic.[aj]
17 I will make justice the measuring line,
fairness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge,[ak]
the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
18 Your treaty with death will be dissolved;[al]
your agreement[am] with Sheol will not last.[an]
When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by,[ao]
you will be overrun by it
Absolutely Certain God
Just as it was for Jerusalem’s destruction due to evil, so shall it be that He will return to bring judgement upon the whole earth as it is written. We can be absolutely certain God will judge humanity for their choices to worship the creature rather than the creator. Not because He is cruel. Rather He knows how utterly destructive their own worship of the creature is. He knows that joy, hope, peace, and true love can only be found in Him. After all only He can fulfill every need that we have. He created us and knows each intimate detail of what can bring us true joy. Wanting the best for us, He willing sacrificed and endured all our foolishness so those who would choose Him could know eternal life filled with His Glorious love and joy forever.
22 So now, do not mock,
or your chains will become heavier!
For I have heard a message about decreed destruction,
from the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies against the entire land.[aw]
23 Pay attention and listen to my message.[ax]
Be attentive and listen to what I have to say![ay]
29 This also comes from the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
who gives supernatural guidance and imparts great wisdom.
Concluding Thoughts
What was true then, remains true today. Though all may look like chaos and all seems to be lost, God will accomplish His plan. We can be absolutely certain God will bring judgement against all the evil. The remnant of believers will be redeemed. And we shall be with Him eternally in a new heaven and new earth where no sin has touched it. Hold on, keep the faith, and tell everyone you know, “Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. In Him is fullness of joy evermore. So, again, Hold on, He is still on His throne and this is but a moment in time leading to the promised land.
