A warning to God’s people then and now that it is foolish to trust in anything but the Lord. Idols bring death and loss, but the Lord brings life and hope. That is the lesson of “The Fall of Idols and Idolaters” (Isaiah 17:1-21:17).
The nations of the world acted in wickedness, greed, and vanity. But God used them as His instrument of justice and discipline for His people. And now Isaiah tells us that there is “Judgment on Babylon” (Isaiah 13:1-14:32).
Isaiah tells you to sing not only about what the Lord has done for you but to declare His greatness to all the world. Join in the song that “God is My Salvation” (Isaiah 12:1-6).
