Isaiah
59:1, “Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:”
The
condition of our world is not God’s fault! Sin has separated
mankind from God but it’s not God’s fault! Man has chosen to walk
in the path of sin rather than heed God’s counsel and correction.
In
Isaiah 59, Isaiah gives a litany of sins for which Israel needs a
redeemer. He observes that judgment, justice, and truth are qualities
absent from the life of Israel. Because there was no qualified
mediator, God would provide salvation through the coming kinsman
Redeemer. This salvation is in Jesus Christ whom they rejected at the
First Advent. But God promises that He will forgive their sins and
restore them in covenant relationship in the end. Isaiah 59:20, “And
the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 21As for me, this is my
covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and
my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy
mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy
seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.”
The
promise of the kinsman Redeemer “and unto them that turn from
transgression” is a provision of the covenant but will be
implemented through repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as the
Messiah. That will happen to a remnant of Israel in the end.
The
call of God to all humanity is to repent and return to God in
covenant relationship through Jesus Christ. Any people who expect the
favor and covering of God must approach Him in repentance and follow
in obedience. One of the greatest judgments that God brought against
Israel was their failure to uphold “truth and justice.” That
principle is just as relevant to our world today. If God brought the
leadership of Israel to judgment because of their lack of truth and
justice, He will do the same for every generation.
We
must have the intervention of God in these last days. Let all men in
every place fall prostrate before Him, casting all care upon Him, and
receive His light of pure redemption. And let His perfect light be
exercised through me. Jesus Christ alone is the remedy for ALL our
sin and The Light Of Pure Redemption! youtube.com/watch?v=eYefLBtqQyQ
