PROCLAMATION
“In that day
you will say: ‘I will praise You, Lord.
Although You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away and You have
comforted me.’” Isaiah 12:1 (NIV)
EXPLANATION
Chapter
eleven of The Bible Book of Isaiah is a continuation of the prophecy which
began in chapter seven. Chapter eleven
presents a prophetic view of the coming of The Messiah to establish His kingdom
and it describes some aspects of the kingdom. (Isaiah 11:1-16) The
prophecy in chapter twelve reveals the post tribulation period of
singing, praise, and worship which will occur during the Kingdom Age. (Isaiah
12:1-6)
APPLICATION
“In that day,”
after we have had our spanking for messing up, we all will have been forgiven
and all will be right with the world.
The remnant of believers who survived the Tribulation will be gathered
from the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:12) and join up with those of us
who were caught up in the rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) and the joyous time
of singing and praising The Lord in the Kingdom Age will begin. This is what we have in front of us to look
forward to in the future. We cannot even
begin to imagine how great things will be when this happens. (1 Corinthians
2:9) However, this will only be for
those of us whose names are written in The Lamb’s Book of Life. Whosoever is a non-believer will not have
their name written in this book and they will spend eternity in hell.
(Revelation 20:15)
