God of the Nations

Isaiah chapter 13 begins the Oracle Against the Nations, which is the pronouncement of judgment upon eight nations that surrounded Judah in addition to Judah itself. This section, which is thirteen chapters long, is a difficult section to read, and forces believers to wrestle with how this passage of Scripture if profitable to new covenant believers. But there is a gospel truth in this section that calls us to repentance and to the struggle of faith. (Isaiah 13.9-22) October 17, 2021
