Isaiah 24 This chapter through till 27 f

Isaiah 24
This chapter through till 27 focuses on the judgment of God. Most people don’t want to focus on judgment. Except those who live with injustice or who are bullied, violated, who come under the hands of the wicked, who face desertion and rejection, these actually celebrate the judgment of God. They have longed for it and prayed for it for too long.
Isaiah prophesies what he does not know, “the Lord is going to lay waste the earth.”
For those who have it all this is terrible news.
But for the poor and the outcast He will come to lay waste, to devastate, to ruin and to scatter. He will deal with the enemy.
It matters not your status, high or low, He will come and there will be no escape. No matter how powerful or obnoxious people can be, this is their fate.
It may look like that man or woman has got away with it, they haven’t, judgment is coming.

With tsunamis, earthquakes, and financial concerns dominating headline news, National Geographic initiated a survey about what Americans’ think about a potential “Doomsday scenario. Here are some of the key findings:
More than 62 percent of Americans think the world will experience a major catastrophe in the next 20 years.
The four most likely disaster scenarios include (in order) a significant earthquake, a significant hurricane, a terrorist attack, a financial collapse.
71 percent envision a major disaster in their lifetime as an “act of God, not man.”
85 percent said they are not ready for a devastating event; 25 percent claim they’ve done absolutely nothing to prepare for a major disaster. (Meghan Gleason, Nat Geo TV Blogs, “The Results Are In: Is It the End of the World as We Know It? Survey Says!”)
