Isaiah 27:2-13

We continue to look at "in that day" speaking specifically of the end of the great tribulation and the start of the millennial reign of Christ. Here we have a song of restoration. It is a song of a beautiful vineyard. This vineyard represents Israel. It is a beautiful counterpart to the vineyard song of Isaiah chapter 5.All provision and protection in the millennial reign of Christ will come from Him. Peace and righteousness will cover every square inch of the earth. It will be a time of unimaginable feasting and joy. It is a time that our hearts desperately long for, yet we have never even come close to realizing the magnificence and wonder that awaits us.All that God's word speaks of concerning our glorious future with Him in His kingdom is an absolute certainty. What God says in His word "shall come to pass", "it shall be in that day".We as believers, as true followers of Jesus Christ have every reason to be filled with hope. We alone, in this lost world, have true hope; Christ in us the hope of eternity! Knowing the hope that we have in Jesus should cause us to live in faithful, humble obedience to His word regardless of cost of consequence. We need to be a bright light shining in this dark world. However, the lost will never see the light of Christ in us unless what we say lines up with how we live. So often our words are simply what we want to be, but it is our actions define who we truly are. May we all live the life of Jesus to the fullest till the day He calls us home.

2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
