“Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”” Isaiah 22:13
In my Bible, Isaiah 22 is titled “The oracle concerning the Valley of Vision”. It is a Prophecy regarding the destruction of Jerusalem. Here in Today’s Verse, God is rebuking Israel for not taking serious the Impending Doom. He says in the prior verse “Therefore in that day the Lord God of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing, to shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth” but instead, it was Party Time!
In many ways, this describes our Culture today. A Global Pandemic, Economic Ruin, Massive Unrest and Rioting, all signs of God’s Judgement, and instead of seeking God and Repenting, People just want to get back to life as normal and “Have A Good Time”. Time to Wake Up!
