Peace after Wrath: Isaiah 25:1-12

PEACE AFTER WRATH

Isaiah 25:1-12

I. Praise (vs. 1-4)
   a. Emerging from a prolonged pronouncement of judgments, how does the
     start of chapter 25 seem different?

   b. From our vantage point in history, how can we affirm what Isaiah
     declares in the second half of verse 1?

   c. What affect will God’s judgment have on those who remain?

   d. What connection do you see in verse 4 and James 4:6?


II. This Is the Lord (vs. 5-9)
   a. Following the judgments of God, verse 5 describes the relief that will
      follow. To what does he relate that relief?

   b. Who will set a feast for all people?
      Where will the feast take place?
      What will the Lord serve at the feast?

   c. Verse 7 describes the removal of the “veil” that covered the hearts of His
      people (2 Corinthians 3:14-16). When is this covering removed? How is
      one different with its removal?

   d. What else changes for mankind during the millennial reign of Christ?

 

III. Moab…(The Pride and Rebellion of Man) (vs. 10-12)
   a. The Lord’s judgment will finally deal with the rebellion and pride of
     humanity. Moab is just a symbol of man’s carnal nature. Why can this
     nature not carry on during the millennial reign of Christ?

   b. What strongholds will be able to withstand God’ touch?

   c. Where will we be when all this comes to pass?

Application: History is moving forward toward a definite and purposeful conclusion. To some it is a great comfort, and to many a cause for great anger or fear. Is there any possibility that man can change one thing that Isaiah predicts? ________________ Individually, what is the only way to be on the right side?
