Isaiah 64:1. “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow at thy presence.”
COME DOWN. The righteous all over the world are grieved at the depths of contempt Appealing for divine intervention to stop contempt for God Himself He who moves mountains until they weep hot red tears And boils the waters of rivers until living things are cooked Also makes the earth tremble at His choosing Moves the water of the sea away from normal places And returns them to places not before visited Is held in contempt by men only temporarily Finally, vindication comes, when God Himself comes down And justice reigns supreme.
The righteous of Israel who have repented and turned Turned to God Himself, and make their plea on the basis of covenant Covenant made by God and His earthly chosen Purposes and promises to be fulfilled when grace – Grace after judgment is passed, that testifies to His love Undeserved love simply because God is love His appearance so intense that it burns like fire And mercy alone saves them from annihilation Our righteousness is nothing at all compared to infinite holiness
We appeal to Him to come down on the basis of His righteousness alone.
“O God, I know the day is coming when all will be shown for what it really is. The days of sinning will be past when Thy justice will really be the authority of the whole earth. I await the days when Christ is revealed in glory. Hasten the day – in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
