Isaiah 66 (NIV)

Judgment and Hope
1 This is what the Lord says:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,
and who tremble at my word..........Continue Reading

  1. “Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool.”
    Can’t come out with a much stronger reminder of the power and might of God as this:))
    I was struck by the power of God in this chapter. The ultimate victory that will be His and how He will bring ALL people to Him. The day when all believers will join with Him in His glory! How swiftly He will bring both judgement and restoration for people and the amazing day it will be when it will be so clear to all those who chose not to believe that indeed their creator has been there all along by their side even if they would not accept Him. It makes you want to be sure everyone you know hears His word and believes so they will be part of that amazing victory and not the ones realizing there were wrong all along not to believe!

  2. All nations will come before the Lord.

    “For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall be that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.”

    “For as the new heavens and the new earth
    Which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord,
    “So shall your descendants and your name remain.
    And it shall come to pass
    That from one New Moon to another,
    And from one Sabbath to another,
    All flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord.”

    Those who sin against God, go after idols, will suffer eternally.
    “And they shall go forth and look
    Upon the corpses of the men
    Who have transgressed against Me.
    For their worm does not die,
    And their fire is not quenched.
    They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

  3. Themes that have been common in Isaiah continue in this last chapter: the glory of God, the disobedience and hypocrisy of the people, the judgement that will come upon them because of that, and the restoration that God will accomplish in spite of their behavior but because of His love and covenant. I am not surprised by the judgement and feel badly for those who miss this aspect of God and are unwilling to understand how that mixes with His amazing love. I am struck, though, by God’s amazing faithfulness and His willingness to always bring His people hope in spite of all they have done to reject Him. It certainly shows the kind of God He is and how good it is to follow Him and how He is not to be trifled with. In the end it will be undeniable…I do hope people get it before it is too late….
