In Isaiah 22 -
23, we read about God’s judgment on Judah, Shebna and Tyre. We read of
“a day of confusion and trampling” (Isaiah 22:5). We read the words of
judgment on “Shebna, the man in charge of the palace” - “Look, mighty
man! The Lord will throw you out” (Isaiah 22:15,17). There is judgment
on Tyre “for seventy years” (Isaiah 23:14). There is also hope for the
future - “At the end of seventy years, the Lord will come to help Tyre”
(Isaiah 23:17). Sadly, His help was not appreciated - “Then she will go
back to earning money as a prostitute for all the world’s kingdoms”
(Isaiah 23:17). The message of God’s judgment continues in Isaiah 24.
This is hard for us to hear. There is, however, something else that we
must never overlook: “In all these things, it is said of the Lord, He
will be glorious” (Isaiah 24:23).
