Isaiah 13:1-22
The word of the Lord against Babylon, who would conquer Judah
The day of the Lord was the punishment of Babylon’s sins by the hand of the Medes
Zephaniah 1:1-2:3
The day of the Lord was to be the Lord’s punishment of Judah (specifically mentioned is Jerusalem) for their sins
The people are called to repent
Malachi 3:1-3
Malachi 4:1-6
The day of the Lord appears to be referring to the coming of the Messiah
The Messiah not only brought hope, but also condemnation
Joel 2:28-32
Acts 2:14-21
The day of the Lord in Joel is stated as being a reference to the day of Pentecost and following period of time: the New Covenant
This time period to come before a day of the Lord.
I Thessalonians 5:1-11
The day of the Lord being referred to here is final judgment at the end of the world
The day of the Lord should bring us comfort, if we have been living as we should
II Peter 3:1-18
Again, we see referenced the final day of the Lord: judgment at Christ’s return
Because of this, we should be living in a way that is upright and steadfast

God's Watchman - 9/20/09am
Ezekiel 33:1-6 -The responsibility of a watchman
Ezekiel 33:7-9 -Ezekiel made God’s watchman to Israel
Colossians 1:24-29 -Warning every man and teaching
A Watchman’s Warnings
God, through Ezekiel, warns that He “has no pleasure,” that is, He is displeased. This is a dire warning, as God’s displeasure has been made known to men in the past. Just Israel should have been striving to avoid God’s displeasure, we must as well. We must aim to be pleasing to the Lord.
Ezekiel 33:10-11 -Ezekiel is to warn that God is displeased
Numbers 11:1-3 -God is displeased and brings fire on the Israelites
II Samuel 11:26-12:15 -David displeased the Lord by sinning with Bathsheba, and God punishes David
Ezekiel warns that God will punish those who are guilty and reward those who are righteous. In this is both a warning and an encouragement. First, a warning against sin. Second, an encouragement to live upright and blameless. And just as the Lord did then, we know that we will be judged by our actions and hearts.
Ezekiel 33:12-16 -Ezekiel is to warn that God will punish the guilty but save the righteous
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 -The Lord judges all by their actions
Revelation 20:11-15 -All will be judged by their actions
John 5:24-30 -Christ judges justly
A People’s Response
Ezekiel 33:17-20 -The people complain that God’s way is “unfair”
Does this sound familiar? God has made the same promise: obey and be rewarded or disobey and punished. It’s reasonable, yet many call it unfair or unloving.
Ezekiel 33:21-22 -God’s judgment on Jerusalem is carried out
Ezekiel 33:23-29 -The reason Jerusalem feel was because of their wickedness
The judgment God had promised was carried out because of the sins of the people. Though they were warned clearly and plainly, the warning was not heeded, and destruction came.
Ezekiel 33:30-33 -The people hear, but do not obey God’s will
James 1:19-27 -Be doers, not only hearers of the word, deceiving yourselves
Just as they “listened” to Ezekiel, many “listen” to God today. It is essential that we do not be like the people in that day, but rather that we hear and faithfully obey the Lord.
I Corinthians 10:1-22 -Pay attention to Israel’s poor example, follow the Lord, do not turn aside to Idolatry and sin
Ezekiel 33:7-9 -Ezekiel made God’s watchman to Israel
Colossians 1:24-29 -Warning every man and teaching

Isaiah: Judgment of Israel - 8/16/09pm
Isaiah can be divided up in different ways. The way I usually look at this book is that Isaiah primarily has three different subjects he deals with. The first is the judgment of Israel, the second is similar and deals with God’s judgment of the nations surrounding and affecting Israel, and the third is prophecy of the Messiah. This week, let us consider God’s judgment of Israel. Next week, Lord willing, we will consider some of what Isaiah has to say about the Messiah.
Israel’s Sin
Israel and Judah, rather than following the Lord as they should, chose to sin against the Almighty and go their own way. God, through Isaiah, names some of the sin that they had committed and which had separated them from the Lord.
Isaiah 1:1-23 -Judah’s empty worship and degeneracy
Isaiah 3:13-23 -Judah’s prideful materialism
Isaiah 5:8-12 -Judah’s materialism
Isaiah 5:18-23 -Judah’s reversing of evil into good and good into evil
Isaiah 32:9-11 -Their complacency
Isaiah 59:1-8 -Their sins have separated them from God
Israel’s Punishment
For their sins, Israel was to be punished. Their cities would be laid waste, and the people would be carried off in captivity.
Isaiah 29:1-8 -Jerusalem to be destroyed
Isaiah 39:1-8 -Babylon to carry them into captivity
Israel’s Return
The Lord, being merciful, would later bring a remnant back to the land of Israel and allow Jerusalem to be rebuilt. Even when Israel has rejected God continually, we see that he offers hope should they repent.
Isaiah 10:20-27 -A remnant will return
Isaiah 26:20-27:13 -Israel is to return
Isaiah 44:24-25:7 -Through Cyrus, Judah will return from captivity
Israel’s Sin
Israel and Judah, rather than following the Lord as they should, chose to sin against the Almighty and go their own way. God, through Isaiah, names some of the sin that they had committed and which had separated them from the Lord.
Isaiah 1:1-23 -Judah’s empty worship and degeneracy
Isaiah 3:13-23 -Judah’s prideful materialism
Isaiah 5:8-12 -Judah’s materialism
Isaiah 5:18-23 -Judah’s reversing of evil into good and good into evil
Isaiah 32:9-11 -Their complacency
Isaiah 59:1-8 -Their sins have separated them from God
Israel’s Punishment
For their sins, Israel was to be punished. Their cities would be laid waste, and the people would be carried off in captivity.
Isaiah 29:1-8 -Jerusalem to be destroyed
Isaiah 39:1-8 -Babylon to carry them into captivity

Isaiah 10:20-27 -A remnant will return
Isaiah 26:20-27:13 -Israel is to return
Isaiah 44:24-25:7 -Through Cyrus, Judah will return from captivity

To Fall into the Hands of the Living God - 5/4/08am
Exodus 20:4-5 -The Lord is a jealous God
Hebrews 10:31 -A terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God
God does not change
Many seek to make a differentiation between the “God of the Old Testament” and the “God of the New Testament.” I say that this is not so. The same God that lives today is the same God that lived in the time of Abraham. And what He detested then, He detests now. As He kept promises then, He keeps promises now.
Malachi 3:6 -God does not change
Hebrews 13:8 -Jesus is always the same
James 1:17 -There is no variation with God
Examples of God’s punishment
Let us look at passages in the Bible, and see how God deals with those who oppose Him and fail to serve Him as they should!
Genesis 6:1-7 -God repents of having made man
Genesis 18:20-33 -How many righteous men in Sodom?
Genesis 19:15-25 -God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah
Genesis 38:7 -God kills Er for being wicked
Leviticus 10:1-2 -Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire
Numbers 16:16-35 -God destroys Korah’s rebellion
Numbers 16:41-50 -God destroys those who murmur about Korah’s death
II Samuel 6:6-7 -God smites Uzzah
II Samuel 24:10-17 -God kills 70,000 for David’s sin
II Kings 1:9-12 -God kills those who seek to capture Elijah
II Kings 2:23-25 -God kills the mocking youths
And just so that no one thinks it is only in the Old Testament:
Acts 5:1-11 -Ananias and Sapphira
Promises of God’s punishment
God does not change. He is the same God as when He performed all these punishments. And what we have today is the same promise: punishment for sin.
Luke 12:4-5 -Fear He who can cast you into hell
Mark 9:42-48 -Hell, where the worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched
Revelation 20:11-15 -The lake of fire, which is the second death
II Thessalonians 1:3-10 -Punishment for those who do not obey or know the gospel
Are you in danger of God’s wrath and punishment? Will you not now repent and put away your sin, that you can avoid it? Will you not come to know Christ, and to obey the gospel in baptism?
Hebrews 10:31 -A terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God
