Yahuah called Isaiah to go and warn the believing people that judgment is coming upon them because of their harden heart and blindness of mind - Isaiah 6:9.
This means so-called believers shall be told the truth (Yahuah's
word) by the prophet but their heart, hearing and sight shall be dull (closed
or stupid), other words they will not accept the truth because their sin is
greater than their belief.
How many people today hear the truth but do not do or live the
truth.
History repeats itself!
Why? Because people do not study the scriptures for example
the book of Isaiah to understand what happened in his time and thereby
preventing these same mistakes to repeat again.
If only we can open our heart, ears and eyes to the truth
and proclaim truth so we can be restored (healed) back Yahuah.
Then Isaiah asks Yahuah, how long will this last and Yahuah says until the land (cities) is wasted (judgment) and houses stand empty. Until the land is given over and everyone is taken to another place - Isaiah 6:11-12.
Now here is the mercy of Yahuah! Even with all the sin done
by the believers, Yahuah shows mercy to those who truly turn back and follow
Him.
Verse
13, Yahuah says He will save a tenth of the people.
You see that! Not all who say they believe are saved but, in
this case, a tenth is saved.
Meaning they will still go through the judgment and the
punishment but they will trust Yahuah and survive the period of struggle.
Isaiah uses a beautiful parable on how they will return in verse 13; “But still,
there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a
terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The
holy (set-apart) seed is its stump!”
Meaning the leaves and branches shall be destroyed by the
fire but the tree trunk will survive the fire and after the fire (punishment) grow
again.
These are those who endure till the end.
Are you and I one of them?
What are we called to do!
