Isaiah 29 Commentary

Isaiah 29 Commentary

“These people worship the LORD in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” There are consequences for this poor relationship with the LORD.

Jerusalem will be attacked.

But who knows anything about this disaster? They are drunk! They soak themselves in false security. They think of their worship of the Creator God as great.

We fool ourselves when we define our own rules. We define our own standard of righteousness. Or when we think the Creator God doesn’t care what we do and how we go about our lives.

Drunkenness! Lack of sobriety! How dare we think the Creator God doesn’t see!

The Book of Revelation talks about several sealed scrolls. We guess these scrolls are sealed mostly against the wicked. They see nothing, sealed or unsealed! They are drunk!

But the LORD Jesus Christ spoke plainly to His followers. He was a Shepherd whose voice they understood clearly. He has continued to speak to His followers by the written word and by the Spirit of the LORD. Consequently, they keep His name Holy – no fake worship!

So you easily know where you stand: Keep His name holy, acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob; stand in awe of the God of Israel; gain an understanding of the ways of the LORD; no longer complain about the instructions of the LORD. Then you are born-again!

A time for vain worship is here; but also here is the time for the humble who keep holy the name of the LORD. Isaiah is written for all time to a people that must look at it and decide their position.
