Much of what we read in Isaiah 16 - 18 concerns
divine judgment on the disobedient - Moab - chapter 16, Damascus and
Israel - chapter 17, Sudan - chapter 18. In the face of God’s holy
judgment upon sin, we must never forget that “He is the God of our
salvation, our Rock, our Stronghold” (Isaiah 17:10). God does not wish
to pass judgment upon us. He calls us to Himself, that He may be
gracious to us (2 Peter 3:9; John 3:17). This is the love of God. His
love is everlasting. He reaches out to us, in love, so that we, loving
Him, might rejoice in the fact that we are His beloved - “loved with
everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).
