Butler. Ga.
There was rampant in the land
rumblings of the destruftion and
utter ruin of the people. The country
from all outward appearances was
rich and prosperous but internally
it was rotten to the core.
There is one who rises among
them who is of royal blood. This
man was born in Jerusalem and he
was brought up with all the advan
tages available at a royal court in
those days. The man was a man of
brilliant character, and a statesman
as well. So he was fitted for the
great prophetic task that was to be
his in the days to come. His minis
try lasted for about 60 years. He
prophesyed during the reign of for
kings, namely: Uzziah, Jothan,
Ahaz and Hezekiah, During the
reigns of Uzziah and Jothan every
thing seemingly went well. At least
there was no outward appearance of
trouble. During the reign of Ahaz
trouble struck in all its fury. The
country was reduced to the status
of slavery. Ahaz had rejected Isaiah
advice. Hezekiah hearkened to the
prophecies of Isaiah and instituted
numerous reforms and left a brilliant
record behind him and hanked as
ne of the country's very best kings.
At the time Isaiah enters upon his
prophetic office both Israel and Ju
dah were from all outward appear
ance prosperous, but at heart they
were corrupt and this was leading
to their decline.
At this time Assyria was the
great world power and King Ahaz
so acted that he gained the disap
proval of Assyria and about twenty
years from this time 784 B. C. As
syria exacted tribute from King
Hezekiah and threatened to destroy
his capitol city, but in some almost
if not miraculous way the capitol
escaoed destruction.
At this time Isaiah, the brilliant
young man began teaching a hard
uoctnne ofr the people, namely:
Spiritual power to prevail over phy
sical. Finally in the same doctrine
and it looked like the people with
their backs to the wall were going
to repudiate all that Isaiah had
said. In the end though he was vindi
cated.
During the long ministry of Isaiah
he was true to both king and sub
jects, However, the time comes
when some of the people turned
against him. History tells us that he
was finally martyred by being plac
i-d in a hollow tree and sawed in
two.
Prepare the Way of the Lord
in verses 3, 4 and 5 we have the
passage .from which John the Baptist
used many years later for his mar
velous preaching. John hit the key
note of the prophecy when he an
swered the question “who art
thou?” with the words 1 am a voice.
Isaiah hears the voice o.f one that
crieth one is calling prepared ye the
wilderness of the way of Jehovah.
Make level the desert a highway for
our God. This sounds like the voice
of a courier who goes before to
smooth out the way for the king
The meaning of this preparation is
that Israel is to take care that the
God who is coming to deliver it shall
find it in such an inward and out
ward manner as is suitable to his
purpose. The very first words ot
Isaiah are teeming with the great
evangelical story true to human na
ture. He proclaims the truth here
that nations and people can learn
their part behind them. Were it not
true that people as well as nations
could have their past blotted out
there could be no hope of salvation
for them. In the very fact that the
past can be blotted out. The evan
gelical plan is put into action and
all men are given the privilege of
the evangelical change that trans
forms a man from a creature of the
world to the habitation to that home
that is divine.
Isaiah's whole wish and desire was
to impress upon Israel that their
national life was corrupt and that
they were doomed to a fall and that
Lf thefy would but listen to his advice
that pain and misery that awaited
them could be changed to happiness
Some of the people listened to the
great prophet, but some banded to
gether to oppose all that he advo
cated. That same condition exists in
the world today. We find men bound
together with ties of love and re
spect for God's work and then we
find others bound together in oppo-
enemies and always will have till
the coming of the perfect day.
Though such a condition exists it
noes not.relieve one of the responsi
bility of upholding the principles
that the church and its work are
doing in the world. Isaiah's vision
of the coming calamity that was
about to befall Israel is a picture of
what is in store for man in his sin
ful state.
Triumphal Coming of Jehovah
To Zion
in Isaiah 40:9-11 we read the pas-
torial stories that suits the case of
the return. “Oh Zion that bringest
good tidings get thee up unto the
high mountains, oh Jerusalem that
bringeth good tidings lift up thy
voice with strength; lift it up, be
not afraid, say unto the cities of
Judah behold your God! Behold the
Lord God will come with strong
hand and his arm shall rule for him,
behold his reward is with him and
his works before him. He shall feed
his flocks like a shepherd, he shall
gather the lambs with his arm and
shall carry them in his bosom.”
How true a picture this is of
man's condition as a whole regard
ing Jehovah. Rebellion against di
vine authority and punishment
awarded for such disobedience. Be
ing carried away into captivity was
a calamity to them, but they brought
it upon themselves. It was disobe
dience that 'brought them face to
face with banishment from their
homes.
God Our Help in Time
Of Trouble
The source of comfort is from
God. The sources of joy are many.
They are grounded in all five of our
success and ministered unto by
countless objects of beauty and har
mony. For them the notes of the
octive find expression in human na
ture and in the gifts of skilled mu
sicians. Sight and sound and touch
and perfomeance and taste all o'pen
avenues to jov in minds of men. The
sources of comforts and joy are but
few. There are but few ways in
which con solation makes its ap
proach to human life. All men need
comfort. Bright as is the world with
its bright sunlight it also has its
shadows, and the plant that bears
roses bears along with the beautiful
flowers thornes. He who does not
need comfort dies young. No life
continues long without sorrow.
In the midst of sorrow there
comes also the discovery that while
the sources of comfort are few they
are fully adequate. No grief or mis
fortune can take away the joy that
have entered permanently into out
character. Then in this time of need
is found the comfort of work and oi
the friendship that remains. There
is always some who still need us
and whom we need. Whatever we
have lost we have never lost at all.
Then we discover the comfort of
sympathy. Man is naturally a sym
pathetic creature. Sympathy is a
boon to sorrow. In time of trouble
sympathy goes far toward dispelling
shadows. When the grim reaper
comes into our midst and plucks
away our loved ones it is then that
sympathy of friends is like the balm
of Gilead in despersing our sorrow
and grief.
No matter what we lose we have
never lost all. That is a consolation
that man has had through the ages,
After all seemingly is lost there is
hope for a life bettor than this one.
If it were not for hope there would
be no joy in the world. Truly we
may return to religion at all times
and say that religion is the sub
stance of things hoped for ail'd the
evidence of things not seen.
