5/21/11: I read Isaiah 12 for my quiet time with the Lord
this morning. I learned that “That Day”
refers to both the Day of our Salvation (deliverance) and to the Day of
Judgment when Jesus Christ comes to judge the earth and its inhabitants. Here
we see Christ Jesus as the Savior and deliverer, following the time of
judgment.
The Lord had been angry with his people, but now his anger
was turned away from them, and so he comforted them with his salvation
(deliverance). This speaks, I believe, of both physical and spiritual
deliverance (salvation). So, “That Day” has both a negative and a positive aspect
to it. On one end, they were under God’s wrath in divine judgment and on the
other end, he delivered them from his wrath, and he restored them to himself,
both physically and spiritually.
I believe that at the end of time that God/Jesus will judge
not only unbelievers, but he will judge (discipline) his adulterous and
idolatrous church, but not to destroy her, but to save her out of her
adulterous and idolatrous ways, and to deliver her out of her short-sightedness
due to her giving way to deception and falling prey to the ways of this world.
At this time, I believe, he will revive his church, and from his revived church
the gospel will go forth so that many will be saved.
In That Day / An
Original Work / May 21, 2011
Based off of Isaiah 12
In that day you will say:
“I will praise You, Lord.
I know You were angry;
anger’s turned away.
God is my salvation;
I’ll trust; not afraid.
The Lord, the Lord, my strength;
the Lord, Lord, my song;
He is my salvation;
Lord, my comforter.”
With joy you’ll draw water
from salvation’s wells.
In that day you will say:
“Give thanks to the Lord.
Call on His holy name;
make Him known today.
Proclaim: He’s exalted.
Tell what He has done.
Sing, for He is glorious;
make this known to all.
Shout aloud; sing for joy,
people of Zion;
Great is the Holy One,
who among us dwells.”
