Lesson1.1 In what way is Judah confused about her identity? Judah did not understand the dual nature of her covenant with God. We, both the people in the time of Isaiah and we the people of today have a responsibility to both love God with all our hearts and our neighbours as our selves. Today we have a further responsibility because modern media makes everyone our neighbour. There is a fidelity responsibility to our neighbour in the Kingdom of God. This than calls for justice for all, both rich and poor. The people of Judah, as are the people of our age are sinful, a people laden with iniquity, of spring who do evil, children who deal corruptly, who have forsaken the Lord and have become estranged from Him. If we look ahead to verses 16-17 we hear God's call for the stopping of evil, a washing clean , seeking justice , stopping oppression and defending the widows and orphans. This is a similar call to Jesus' Nazareth declaration of Luke 4:16-18. The people of Judah of Isaiah's time were not fulfilling their fiduciary role as guardians of their neighbour-just as the people of North America and Europe. It is only necessary to turn from evil, stop oppressing the poor and the widows, to seek justice and to turn to the Lord with a new heart as cleansed by the new covenant of Jesus. These ancients and ourselves are unreasonable in that our actions disappoint and anger the Lord God and stir the wrath of God from Heaven against all ungodliness and wickedness.(Romans 1.18) The wrath of God is unleashed upon the world as the people of the world commit atrocities against God and His world. We see the consequences in more violent storms, droughts and floods and plagues of insects and diseases. These are among the responses to people's atrocities. God's alternative offer is to good to be true. We must only return to God in prayer and in his bountiful grace. WinstonY
