Last week we resumed our teaching series titled, "Isaiah, The Evangelical Prophet." The section we are in deals with God's denunciations of the Gentile nations that surrounded Judah and Jerusalem, and at one point or another, had dealings with them. This week our focus will be on Jerusalem, as the Lord through His prophet, pronounces judgment on this grand and important city. At this time Jerusalem was facing destruction, as they were under siege from the mighty armies of Assyria. Isaiah was so distraught that he wept bitterly, and would not be comforted. The Lord, having "removed the defense of Judah," had brought about a dire condition in Jerusalem. There were breaches in the wall, and the water supply was low. Surrounded by Assyrian chariots and horsemen, you might think that the people of the city would be weeping and repenting before the Lord. However, that was not the case, as the people instead turned to gaiety and partying. They became both faithless and fatalistic, and said amongst themselves, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." As usual, there are valuable lessons to learn from this text, so come join us this Friday for erev Shabbat Services at Adat Shalom. We will have wonderful worship, a study in Isaiah, and warm food and fellowship at the close of our services. Both our "in person" congregational gathering, as well as our live-stream broadcast of the service will begin at 7:30pm.. Looking forward to seeing you there.
