Bible Reading: 18:1-7
Subject: God Who Sees
This text is about the destruction of Assyria and the salvation of Cush. God will break the power by destroying Assyria, and this will bring Cush back to God. Cush only had to return to God while watching God work. We must live a life of experiencing the salvation and power of God, who is in charge of history.
1. God who sees
(Isa 18:4) And the LORD said to me, The sunlight that I watch quietly from my dwelling place.
Like a mist in the autumn heat
When God watches, it means that God sits on a holy throne and watches quietly while waiting for the right time. It seems that God is in silence, but in reality, he sees clearly, and the world seems to be going haphazardly, but in fact, God's will is revealed in His providence
In order to achieve this, everything is proceeding in an orderly fashion. this word
1) It says that God's work is appropriate.
God works according to the time, place, and season.
He knows us all. He counts us.
2) It speaks of the power of God's work.
Rationalists deny that God's plan is inconsistent with their reason, but
God is supernatural and supernatural.
2. God's Judgment and Results
(Isa 18:5) Before the harvest, when the flowers fall and the grapes ripen, I use the sickle to
I cut the branches and cut off the branches
It refers to the futile efforts of those who do not fear God.
(Isa 18:6) The result of judgment will be upon the vultures of the mountain and upon the wild beasts of the earth.
The eagles will glide over it, and all the beasts of the earth will glide over it.
We must clearly know the Day of the Last Judgment through the Simpani Warning. Therefore, we must put away the pride that lies in our sinful heart, and armed with humility, we must become believers who do not feel fear or shame at the time of judgment, but enjoy eternal life with joy and joy.
3. Now, after Assyria is judged and destroyed, Cush comes to God with a gift.
Through the dedication of Cush, we must not give to God in our own way, but give the life that God wants.
Through the salvation of Cush, we can see that God's work of salvation is open to the whole world, not for a special ethnic group. The psalmist prophesied that the Cushites would come to God. (Psalm 68:31) The princes will come out of Egypt, and the Cushite will quickly raise their hand to God.
This prophecy is ultimately fulfilled after the Pentecost, after the descent of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 8:26-39)
We must strive to carry out the mission of preaching the gospel that has been given to us more diligently.
4. Determination and prayer
1) Be humble before the Lord and not be put to shame on the final judgment day!
2) For the churches of all three thousand li
3) For the elders who became presidents and the elders and cabinets who became prime ministers!
