Isa 5:1-2, Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding HIS vineyard: MY WELL-BELOVED HAS A VINEYARD On a very fruitful hill. He dug it up and cleared out its stones, And planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, And also made a winepress in it; SO HE EXPECTED IT TO BRING FORTH GOOD GRAPES, BUT IT BROUGHT FORTH WILD GRAPES.
The LORD has a vineyard, verse 7 “ISRAEL”, who had so much advantages than any other! The LORD took care of it and protected it, BUT IT PRODUCED POISONOUS GRAPES?
Isa 5:3-4, “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, JUDGE, PLEASE, BETWEEN ME AND MY VINEYARD. WHAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO MY VINEYARD THAT I HAVE NOT DONE IN IT? Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes, Did it bring forth wild grapes?
What more could GOD had done for Israel, and even us gentiles? So many people blame GOD, yet do not consider what HE has done for us! HE allowed HIMSELF to be crucified on that cross in order pay our debt “sin”; Yet so many ignore HIM and even hate HIM?
Dan 9:26, “…MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;
Isa 5:5, And now, PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I WILL DO TO MY VINEYARD: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
GOD is love and HE loves HIS people, but HE is also JUST! HE sent Assyria to judge Israel!
Isa 10:6, I will send him against an ungodly nation, And AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF MY WRATH I WILL GIVE HIM CHARGE, To seize the spoil, to take the prey, And to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
Israel rejected GOD, wild grapes, and then rejected their own MESSIAH JESUS. GOD’s wrath upon HIS own people is hot, YET HE SHALL PRESERVE HIS REMNANT! Rom 9:27.
Isa 5:13, THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE…
Even though we may not see GOD’s physical presence; KNOW THAT HE IS ALWAYS THERE! YOU ARE NOT FOOLING HIM FOR HE SEES ALL YOU DO AND KNOWS YOUR THOUGHTS!
Hos 4:6, MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will reject you from being priest for ME; BECAUSE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THE LAW OF YOUR GOD, I ALSO WILL FORGET YOUR CHILDREN.
WHAT MORE COULD HE HAVE DONE FOR US?
