Isaiah 60

The first 11 verses depict Judah's future if they return to God. A future of bounty and prosperity. It is a wonderful picture of abundance promised to the people that hold fast to God's word. But the contrasting description of a nation the rejects God is summarized in a few words; perish and laid waste. It should not surprise people of faith that selfishness and irreverence has always led to national collapes. We think we are different. We think we are so wise, but we are just like ancient Judah. And we deserve God's destructionif we refuse to obey him.
It took me about 4 minutes to read this chapter.
