Week 136, Day 5: Desolate
Today’s Reading: Isaiah 34:1-17
Some thoughts from today’s reading…
The description of the destruction here makes me think of those old castle ruins that you see pictures of. Did the castle fall in because of age or was there some huge battle. Verse 13 mentions how thorns and thistles will come up in their fortified places. All that would be left after God’s judgment would be a few places of crumbling buildings. With the pictures of those castles we have to wonder at times what the “story” was behind the ruins. With the scriptures we have recorded for us both the why and how the destruction came upon these nations. They were brought down by God’s mighty hand. Their armies were rendered useless and their cities overthrown. The lessons from the result of their actions are preserved for our benefit.
