Devotional: Isaiah 34

Today’s passage: Isaiah 34

Helpful thoughts:

  • According to the formula of previous prophecies in Isaiah, chapters 34 and 35 could be considered one unit.
    • Chapter 34 describes the judgment.
    • Chapter 35 describes the future restoration.
  • If a person were to think God was a passive grandpa/Santa Claus figure, this passage (And others like it) should correct that.  Man is in bitter hostility with God (Whether man admits it or not) and justice will be served.
  • Edom (Verses 5-6 – Bozrah was a city in Edom) serves as an example, a people that God has devoted to destruction.

Questions to consider:

  1. Why do we tend to avoid discussion of judgment and God’s wrath?  What do we lose (To our detriment) by attempting to ignore or soften the justice of God?
  2. How does a passage like this magnify Christ’s sacrifice on the cross?  Are you a Christian because you are a good person or because you were spared?  (1 Peter 3:18)
