Isaiah 55-58, Proverbs 1

Published: Sept. 15, 2022, 4:05 a.m.

The Lord invites Israel into his presence, and in our opening verses, this is depicted symbolically with a lavish feast, provided free of charge by God Almighty himself. This happens when the wicked one abandons his way and the sinful one his thoughts, returning to the Lord who has compassion. Even foreigners who are not from the nation of Israel will be blessed by the Lord who brings them into his house which will be called a house of prayer for all nations. By contrast, Israel\u2019s evil and lazy watchmen will be judged. Idols will not be able to save wicked men from God\u2019s wrath.
