Title: Fall and Judgment (Isaiah 3:16-26)
I don't know how far the world is going to fall. The intensity of the corruption is increasing day by day. The depravity of women is becoming extreme. Just as Eve sinned and even Adam sinned, the fall of women is defiling society at a frightening speed.
The prophet Isaiah prophesied about the fall of the daughters of Zion. Maybe he was looking through the circumstances of today. "Daughters of Zion" refers to the women living in Israel, which seems to imply that they may be among the believers in God today.
1. The Fall of Women
To be proud means to be humble before God and not follow God's will, but to pursue their own lusts and walk in evil ways. "It walks with an elongated neck and an open eye." It pointed out the sin of immorality. Fornication is a sin that destroys the marriage system established by the holy God and causes us to depart from God. This was a huge blow not only physically but also spiritually, mainly because fornication was done along with idolatry.
Stained with sin, the women of Zion seduced men to gratify their physical lusts and committed fornication. This description of the fornication of the daughters of Zion is also a symbolic expression of the fact that the Israelites betrayed Jehovah God and served foreign idols as if they were lewd.
2. Judgment of the Fallen
Eventually, you end up wearing sackcloth. The fall of women is directly related to judgment and results in the downfall of men and society as a whole.
Isaiah prophesied that God's judgment would come and that Jerusalem would be destroyed and destroyed. The king of Babylon tore down the walls of Jerusalem and destroyed the temple. Israel was in captivity and restored it 70 years later.
3. Our stance for the last day
⼘You must first come to God. You just need to come to God and repent. Sin is a terrible thing, but unrepentance is even more terrible. No matter how great a sin is, if you repent, it will be forgiven. However, no matter how small a sin, if you do not repent, you will be judged as a sinner.
⼘You must do your work. The reason we have to work hard to earn money is to make a living and do the Lord's work. When you invest and work hard for the salvation of souls, it is truly valuable. On this November 8th, '98 Great Light Invitational Evangelism Sunday, let's amazingly participate in the gospel ministry in the last days and become workers of the gospel of God who are rewarded on earth and are piling up rewards in heaven.
