Isaiah 34 (Judgment) [Hell] | Isaiah 35 (Salvation) [Heaven] |
Trusting the world/self | Trusting God |
Becomes a desert | Becomes a garden |
No way (34:10) | A highway (35:8) |
Destruction and desolation | Restoration and renewal |
The power of the Gentiles will be broken | The redeemed will see the kingdom of God |
God's wrath against the nations | God's glory transforming Zion |
God, not the world, is the one to fear | God, not the world, is the one to hope in |
Reflections on the GOSPEL. Creation, fall, redemption, restoration /consummation /recreation. Inclusive and exclusive. Tabernacle and presence.
Loved by God.

- * It's good to suffer loss, for it draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves. * Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God.
