Isa
54:9-10 (ESV)
9
"This is like the days of Noah to me:
as I
swore that the waters of Noah
should
no more go over the earth,
so I
have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
and
will not rebuke you.
10 For
the mountains may depart
and the
hills be removed,
but my
steadfast love shall not depart from you,
and my
covenant of peace shall not be removed,"
says
the Lord, who has compassion on you.
NOTE: I believe this
is in reference to the end of days, the end times, when God will pour out his
judgment upon the earth for unbelief, rebellion, and sin. Finally, God will
bring about the long-promised justice. His current long-suffering is mercy toward
us in order that we might repent and turn back to him. But, at some point, he
must exercise justice, and his standard is such that there is no person on
earth who is not deserving of his wrath. For those, who have exercised belief
in his Son, and repented of their rebellion and sin, God promises to protect
them. Jesus has paid their price. They are not guilty any longer. No matter how
bad things might get, especially for the tribulation saints, he promises that
his love and peace will not leave. The time of judgment is coming. It is not a
myth or a pipedream. Just as Jesus promised coming was fulfilled, so the last
part of God's prophecies will also be fulfilled. The message is very clear to
us, even today, repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
