Have You Accepted Your Invitation?

O. T. #1601  "Have You Accepted Your Invitation?
Jan. 7, 2020
Isaiah 25

LET IT GLOW

The horrid people of this world back in Isaiah's time broke God's Divine laws and moral laws. They worshipped pagan, false gods and idols, as well as immoral acts. The Assyrians conquered the Northern Kingdom of Israel. They were noted for stripping their captives naked and skinning them alive. The Babylonians, who later captured Judah, put captives in the fiery furnace (3 Hebrews) and into the lions den (Daniel). So God's judgment upon the earth was and is coming upon all people.

How did Isaiah react to this world judgment? In chapters 25 and 26, we read of the two songs of thanksgiving for redemption. He honors God with praises. Isaiah is looking into the Millennial Kingdom of Christ:

• God has done wonderful things.
• His plans of long ago will be implemented.
• The mighty cities become heaps of ruin.
• The strong walls turn into rubble.
• Beautiful palaces (of terrible kings) will be destroyed.
• All people will fear God.
• Proud nations will be brought low during the Great Tribulation.
• In Jerusalem, Jesus will invite the surviving believers to a feast. Invitations will go out and all will attend, Jews and Gentiles saved.
• Jesus will destroy death.
• He will wipe away tears from all faces.
• The rebuke of His people will be taken away.
• The feast of fat things will be the nourishing gospel that is digested.
• The refined wine will be the gospel that  makes glad the heavy hearts and raise their spirits.
• Those will be of good cheer for Christ has overcome the world.
• The light of Jesus will remove the dark veil of sin in hearts.
• The One on whom everyone was waiting finally arrived.
• We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

Oh wow! What a day that will be! The world will see nobody but Jesus! Have you accepted your invitation, dear one? The invitation to come to Jesus as your Savior? Have you repented of your sins and asked Jesus to forgive you and be your Savior? If you have, then you are awaiting your invitation to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. One day it will happen, just as John wrote in Revelation 19.

LET IT GROW

Moab, all adversaries of God's people, will be down trodden under The LORD Jesus. That includes the devil and his demons being cast into the Lake of Fire, forever and ever. That includes the nations who oppose His beloved Israel. No more hate, sin, or temptations.

So are you happily awaiting the coming of Your LORD Jesus? We will be with loving people loving our Savior. Have you RSVP your invitation? Jesus personally holds it out to you.

LET IT GO

I will fear no more, what people say about me, what mean things they do to me.
I will praise Thy name, Jesus, for Thou hast done wonderful things!
Thank You for inviting me to come to You for salvation and being my Savior!!
