In Isaiah 22 – 23, we read about God’s judgment on Judah, Shebna and
Tyre. We read of “a day of confusion and trampling” (Isaiah 22:5). We
read the words of judgment on “Shebna, the man in charge of the palace” –
“Look, mighty man! The Lord will throw you out” (Isaiah 22:15,17).
There is judgment on Tyre “for seventy years” (Isaiah 23:14). There is
also hope for the future – “At the end of seventy years, the Lord will
come to help Tyre” (Isaiah 23:17). Sadly, His help was not appreciated –
“Then she will go back to earning money as a prostitute for all the
world’s kingdoms” (Isaiah 23:17). The message of God’s judgment
continues in Isaiah 24. This is hard for us to hear. There is, however,
something else that we must never overlook: “In all these things, it is
said of the Lord, He will be glorious” (Isaiah 24:23).
