Isaiah chapter 13 verse 6

whale for the day of the Lord is near.

As destruction from the Almighty, it will come.

Exclamation point.

This is a sobering verse. So as we read through the Bible as we meditate on

scripture we're oftentimes encouraged in different verses, motivated by different verses, sometimes we were

sobered by verses.

We're humbled by them.

They cause us to sit back and realize the weight and the

seriousness of what's what's at stake before God. V. V.

Vist and Isaiah chapter 13 says,

whale,

like whale, weep

because the day of the Lord is near.

And we look, there's so much we could talk about when it comes to the day of the Lord

in the Old Testament, but this is a picture of the coming of God's judgment.

And the picture here in Isaiah 13.6 is God's judgment is near. Destruction from the Almighty.

Upon sinners is coming it will come the end of verse six says and so we realize

reading this and so we're not in Isaiah's day, but we know that Jesus is coming back soon.

And for all who have been saved by him, who have turned from their sin and trusted

in him, this will be a glorious day to see Jesus.
