Isaiah 47-48
Chapter 47: Babylon and Chaldea shall be
destroyed
Babylon
is depicted as a degraded woman, naked and uncovered. The pride and arrogance
of Babylon is rebuked. The stargazers and sorcerers of Babylon will be unable
to help.
Chapter 48: The Lord reveals His purposes
The Lord rebukes Israel for their
routine religious observance. The Lord made sure that he was revealed rather
than concealed, but Israel did not see or hear. The Lord defers his anger for
His name’s sake , He is the first and the last. The Lord wishes that his people
had obeyed Him in the past. Exodus from Babylon joined with that from Egypt –
the rock in the wilderness flowed with water.
