Isaiah 59-60
Chapter 59: Israel is separated from God
The
problem is not that the Lord’s hand is shortened, so it cannot save. The
problem is the sins of the people – lies, iniquity and injustice. Darkness
comes, and the people growl like bears, and moan sadly like doves. In the
absence of righteousness, the Lord Himself became a righteous warrior, and
lifted up his standard before the enemy. The Redeemer shall come to Zion.
Our sin
will separate us from God “…your iniquities have seperated between you
and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”
(Isaiah 59:2)
Chapter 60: Israel shall be Restored
Arise, shine, for your light has
come. The gentiles shall come to your light. “…the darkness shall cover the
earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and
his glory shall be seen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:2) , this verse is talking about
the Apostasy that will cover the earth, but with the light of God, He will
restore His Gospel and His Church… The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.
Great treasures will come to Israel
from many lands. The sons of those who afflicted Israel shall come bowing. The
walls shall be called Salvation, and the gates Praise. The Lord will be an
everlasting light to replace the sun and the moon. The days of mourning shall
be ended.
