  1. Speaking frankly, Isaiah flipped! If I go to a friend's home and they have an immaculately clean house; it only makes me that much more painfully aware of the state I left my house in. I believe it was the same for Isaiah. Standing in the face of predation, majesty and glory, he could feel his own iniquities beating down on him. The guilt must have been overwhelming. Instead of destroying Isaiah or some other harsh punishment, which he deserved, God cleansed Isaiah of this sin and removed the guilt. He forgave him. He the asks Isaiah, "Who will go for us." In other words, who will do my work? Who will carry my message? Isaiah accepts. When I hear a god calling me, a lot of the time I am driven by my flesh to panic just as Isaiah did. I'm not sure if I'm up to the task or good enough. Sometimes I'm called to do things I just don't want to do. Even still. I know that if i am called to it, my Father has already worked it out and I will be successful or taken ca of.
  2. His plan was for a bountiful and prosperous vineyard. He did all he could to make sure the vineyard was well taken care of and equipped. He protected it with walls and such. He built a watchtower so he could watch over it. When the crop came it was bad. The grapes were sour and scant. The vintner then said he would tear down the protective walls and command the sky not to rain over it. He would see it destroyed. This parable reflects how God has cared for Israel and how they are turning away from Him. He desired for them to be bountiful. He expected justice and righteousness from the. He wanted Godly followers there and it was not turning out to be a worthwhile investment. He warns that He is going to withdraw His protection from them and that when He did, they would be destroyed by outside forces.
  3. This prophecy is telling us that the Gentiles future surrounds faith in God just as that of the Jews does. There's an every knee shall bow feel about the mountains. The mountain of the Lord's temple will be raised above all others. The people will have a deep hunger for God. They will search ways to fill their desire for knowledge about His word and ways. There will be a major hunger but there will also be ways to quell it. There will be great peace. War will become a forgotten thing. Even implements that are used as weapons will be altered to suit a more practical need.

  6. 1. The livestock referenced here know who cares for them, what type of behavior is expected of them and where they lay their heads. The believers at the time were acting as though they didn't know that God is their provider and that He expects certain things from the. They have forgotten that He takes care of the,. They are acting out. They are paying for it too. People nowadays have the same issues and when they are disobedient or irreverent to God, He is forced to withdraw His protection. Bad things are free to happen to us. We also put ourselves in sticky situations and suffer unnecessary consequences. Sexual immorality leads to STD's. Stealing leads to jail, etc.. My understanding is that they are religious but not spiritual. They go through the motions with no heart. Simply put, it's unreasonable because He said so. They expect His protection and His faithfulness but they don't want to give in turn. That's not reasonable. He suggests that they be willing to obey and that they turn from the evil. If they do, He can take care of them.
