Isaiah 52 (NIV)

1 Awake, awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength!
Put on your garments of splendor,
Jerusalem, the holy city.
The uncircumcised and defiled
will not enter you again.
2 Shake off your dust;
rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem.
Free yourself from the chains on your neck,
Daughter Zion, now a captive..........Continue Reading

  1. 15so he will sprinkle many nations
    and kings will shut their mouths because of him.
    For what they were not told, they will see,
    and what they have not heard, they will understand.
    As I finished this chapter reading these words it struck me that when Jesus came all this came to pass but that it was something that continues to be so relevant everyday since. He continues to cleanse people of sin and amaze people with His power and the works He did while on earth and through the things He continues to do in people’s lives everyday. His coming still creates awe among leaders, scientist, theologists, and all people are still discussing Him and not because it was an isolated event but a life changing event for all people then and now!

  3. He was marred beyond recognition. Not a pleasant verse to read. But the love of God for us is beyond anything

  4. As many chapters of Isaiah warn and speak of God’s judgement, this chapter calls them to rejoice in the salvation that God will bring. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace and salvation and declare that Our God reigns! Although His name has been discredited due to Israel’s lose and judgement, His name will be exalted in the salvation the He brings. It is interesting that this chapter that begins with the physical salvation of Israel to the land of Palestine, it closes with the beginning of the suffering servant who will bring spiritual salvation to the world. What graphic depictions of the suffering our Savior would make on our behalf. We are truly undeserving of all that He went through on our behalf!

  5. Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently;
    He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
    Just as many were astonished at you,
    So His visage was marred more than any man,
    And His form more than the sons of men;
    So shall He sprinkle many nations.
    Kings shall shut their mouths at Him;
    For what had not been told them they shall see,
    And what they had not heard they shall consider.

    I thought similarly to Kelly. In all the discussion of Israel, God so often mentions His work among the Gentile nations. The king/dictators will shut their mouths.
