Isaiah 64

It took a couple of minutes to read this passage. During Isaiah's days the temple still stood. Even though the people of Judah continued to grow in their unfaithfulness the temple and the inheritance remained. But God gave his prophet a picture of the destruction brewing for Jerusalem. In verse 11 Isaiah mourns at the vision of the destroyed and smoldering temple. The physical symbol of Israel's worship of God; completely demolished. What a hopeless sight.
