As we’ve seen throughout this series of oracles, though there has been a great deal of judgment, there has also been a glimmer of hope in each one; and this one concerning Tyre is no exception.

The Lord, through Isaiah, continues to drive home the point that reliance upon anything or anyone other than Christ, particularly ourselves, is futile.

In Isaiah 22, we find the prophet giving an oracle about the Valley of Vision, where he calls the Lord's people to see the insufficiency of everything else and turn instead to the Lord of hosts, Who alone can bear their burdens. Alec Motyer summarizes the passage this way:

"In a word, the ‘story-line’ of the whole oracle is the question, Where is security found? In Isaiah’s teaching, when city (1–14), individual (15–19) and family (20–25) become self-sufficient, they have committed the unforgivable sin."

The only remedy for them, and for us, is to abandon all hopes of self-sufficiency and instead place our hope in Christ, Who alone is sufficient to redeem, protect, and restore.

We will gather to worship at 5 PM this Lord's Day and would love to have you join us to hear more.

We'll sing these songs together in worship.

All the nations of the earth would be blessed through Abraham and His seed; and that includes Israel’s classic enemy of Egypt. (This was recorded at our annual visit to Blowing Springs for worship and fellowship outdoors.)

At the right time, God would intervene and accomplish His purpose and plan for Judah, Cush, and all the nations whose destinies were in HIs hands.

Fixing our eyes on anyone or anything to experience life, other than Jesus, ultimately leads to death. It is to Him alone that we should look.
