Recently my husband and I got caught up in the rip off game
of one of these lending companies in order to save our
checking account from overdraft fees. That’s another
incident of injustice! We borrowed a certain amount and had
to pay them back almost double when we were done! These
people know they have you right where they want you and
you are their prey. I can honestly say, that will never happen
again!
The prophet Isaiah was given visions and messages from
God that always come to pass. God is not a God that should
be mocked. If we only take the time to hear what He says,
none of this would be happening, but it is, just as God said
it would.
The human race seems to think that he can rule the world,
but herein lies the first fault of man. Without God you can do
nothing. God already knows the condition of our hearts and
that is why He told Isaiah that in time, there will be those
who deal treacherously with others. Isaiah starts out in Is.
33:1 “Woe to you, O destroyer, you who were not yourself
destroyed, who deal treacherously though they (your victims)
did not deal treacherously with you!”
When I see the word, “Woe” it makes me do just that, stop
and take notice of what is being said. I dare not miss what
God wants me to know. This chapter goes on to talk about
what will happen in the land of injustice when those who are
out for greed and capital gain will be destroyed. The Lord
promises that His name will be exalted.
“The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He will fill Zion
with justice and righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude
in every area and relation.” Is. 33:5 (Amplified)
Right now God is giving us time to repent and turn from our
treachery of others. But the time is coming, we don’t know
exactly when, that God promises He is going to return and
set this world right. Those who don’t acknowledge Who He
is through Jesus Christ will be burned up like chaff.
The moral decline of our society is growing rapidly on a daily
basis. It’s normal to watch the news and hear about killings
of innocent men, women and children. We have grown
accustomed to it. This is a dangerous place to be. Our
children are growing up seeing and hearing so much more
than my generation did. But, God promises to bring all this
treachery and injustice to an end. Even our judicial system
is leaning on the corrupt through years of exposure to the
things that doesn’t include God. How do they think they can
judge and rule when God is not in the picture?
“For the Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver, the
Lord is our King; He will save us.” Is.33:22
Only Christ can judge and give the laws, only He can save
us. Where do men get off thinking that they can do a job that
only God can do? What does God say about this kind of
thinking? First He tells us what this mentality will produce
and we see it happening already.
“You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble; your breath is a
fire that consumes you. And the people will be burned as if
to lime, like thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.”
Is.33:12-13 (Amplified)
We are birthing more sin in our lives by accepting the things
we see and hear on the media. It’s our attitude that whatever
makes you happy is alright with me. People even in high
places are being caught up in their lies to protect
themselves. But sooner or later, it will catch up with you.
People have lost their reputations, their livlihoods by their
treacherous acts.
No one is excempt! No matter how much money you may
have, no matter what kind of political pull you may have, no
matter who you may know, none of this is going to save you
in the end! It’s whether or not you know Jesus.
“Hear, you who are far off (says the Lord), what I have done;
and you who are near, acknowledge My might!” Is.33:13
(Amplified)
In the next couple verses it says basicaly this, those who are
sinners will tremble and be afraid. Who can save them
now? But, those who walk in the will of God, which is upright
and righteous,those who despise all the fraud and
oppression of innocent people and will not be bribed into
doing anything of the sort, this man will God put upon His
fortress. This man will certainly know God’s might!
“Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; (your eyes) will
behold a land of wide distance that stretches afar.” Is.33:17
(Amplified)
God foretold of His might coming to rule over this land that
has claimed it’s own ‘in’justice system. Any man who has
not dealt honestly with himself, with others and with God will
be left to God’s final judgement. This is real justice!
It’s God’s Word that states the outcome quite clearly. He
promises that one day when Christ comes back to rule in
the New Jerusalem that only those who serve Him will be
present in that day.
“You will see no more that fierce and insolent people, a
people of a speech too deep and obscure to be
comprehended, of a strange and stammering tongue that
you cannot understand.” Is.33:19 (Amplified)
When God gets done having His way, the way He has
promised, there will be no more double talking, back
stabbing, vindictive people left on earth to even question
God.
God promises to set up His tent that shall never be taken
down and neither shall any of its cords be broken. He
promises to be here for us in majesty and splendor.
When I read God’s Word, it makes me want to be more like
Christ in every way every day. This doesn’t sound like a God
that I can ignore nor want to try.
“And no inhabitant (of Zion) will say, I am sick; the people
who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity and guilt.”
Is.33:23 (Amplified)
One day the King of glory will return to rule and reign and
this land of injustice will be no more. Those who decide to
come to Christ with repentance in their hearts can no longer
say they are sick or poor or hungry or lonely. There will be no
rip off lending companies who are unforgiving of other’s
inability to repay them. Everyone will be an equal. God
promises us all an inheritance that will free us from all
impending doom and gloom of this world as we know it.
I for one can’t wait for justice to return to it’s rightful place.
What about you? Will you stand firm in your beliefs? Now is
the time for action.
The fires of life will not destroy you if you’re watered by the
River of Life.
