In Isaiah 19-21, there are words of judgment and words of grace: “The
Lord will strike Egypt with a plague. When He strikes them, He will also
heal them. They will come back to the Lord. And He will respond to
their prayers and heal them” (Isaiah 19:22). The question is asked, “How
can we escape?” (Isaiah 20:6). To this question, the Lord gives His
answer: “When the people cry to the Lord because of those who oppress
them, He will send a Saviour and Defender to rescue them” (Isaiah
20:20). From the words of Isaiah 21:9 – “Babylon has fallen! It has
fallen! All the idols they worship He shattered on the ground”, we look
on to Revelation 18:18 – “Fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen! She has
become a home for demons” and Revelation 18:4 – “Come out of Babylon,
My people.” God is calling His people turn from worldly ways “Come out
of Babylon, My people.” He’s calling His people to turn to Him – “When
the people cry to the Lord …” He’s calling us to trust Him. He’s calling
us to obey Him. He’s calling us to sing the song of salvation:
“Hallelujah! Salvation, glory and power belong to our God” (Revelation
19:11).
