Isaiah 32

Wind. Rainstorm. Dry regions. Parched land. These are the descriptions that Isaiah uses to describe the kingdom of Judah. How could God's Promised Land become so empty? How could a land flowing with milk and honey end up so fruitless? Could it be that God was acting in the same manner that he did in the Garden of Eden. There the sinful choices of man led him to curse the ground. Is that his pattern; his first step in the plan of reconciliation? Isaiah then described the LORD's Messiah as the redeemer for each of those hopeless descriptors. He is a shelter from the wind. He is a refuge from the rainstorm. He is streams (note plural) of water in the dry regions. He is the immovable shade for the parched land. Whatever the curse produced God's redeemer restored.
