ETERNITY

[Ranb2khz]

The Day of the LORD

“For a day belonging to the LORD of Armies is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up – it will be humbled – “ ~ Isaiah 2:12

“The pride of mankind will be brought low, and human loftiness will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.” ~ Isaiah 2:17

This is a case of when God visits a nation with terrible judgements. When the Jews were led away captive into Babylon, the great men of the land were bound in chains and treated as common slaves. And as they marched across the weary wilderness, the iron entered into their souls. Then was the loftiness of their spirit bowed down; and the pride of the king, who laughed at [God’s] prophet, was laid low.

God has wondrous ways of making people feel they are but dust, but when nothing else can serve His turn [when mankind will not heed His ways], He will sweep away whole dynasties, as one removes an anthill when it has become a nuisance.

One of the greatest works of grace in the heart is to humble our pride.
