Isaiah 6-7

It took me about 10 minutes to read these two chapters that provide three new revelations through Isaiah the prophet. The end of chapter 6 speaks of the destruction of the kingdom of Judah. When I think of descruction what comes to mind is Mount St. Helen's. And that maybe exactly the picture that God was seeking to convey. From a bird's eye view the aftermath of the eruption of Mount St. Helen's in 1980 wiped out every living thing in the area. But just a few weeks after the eruption there was life springing out of the devestation. And that is the message that God intended with the destruction of Judah. God does not forget to leave a remnant that will carry out his plans for his Kingdom. Even in the process of destroying Judah God had made a plan to work out his redemption through the coming Messiah.
