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 a 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
