The maritime city of Tyre is foretold to be destroyed in Isaiah 23. The fortunes made in this port will be sacrificed to the conquerors. Sidon will also fall. The fame and fortune of those who do not follow Jehovah will not rescue them. The Lord’s promise of destruction is certain.

Will this planet one day be destroyed? According to Isaiah 24 the violation of Jehovah’s laws will cause the destruction of the Earth. Everything will be desolate. The evil people of the lands are treacherous and betray everyone. The foundations of the earth are shaken, and it is broken up, but it will be renewed.

Yahweh will punish the powers of Heaven and the nations from everywhere. The moon and the sun will also survive. One day Jesus will establish a new Heaven and Earth.

Yahweh’s plans were made years ago as stated in Isaiah 25. The destruction of those who violated His laws and the salvation of the righteous were established before the universe was created. He is a refuge for the poor and a shelter from the storm. Prophecy of a feast of rich foods is made. He will also destroy death. Our trust in Him has brought our salvation.

More prophecy of that future time is given in Isaiah 26. The city will be strong, and salvation, righteousness, and peace will be abundant. Jehovah is described as the rock eternal. Do you have a desire for God? His judgment will bring about a right attitude for the world. People alone cannot change the lives of others. The Earth will give birth to those buried in her.

Have you ever thought about the reference to Leviathan in Isaiah chapter 27? What is the fruitful vineyard that we should sing about? Jacob and Israel have filled the Earth with the fruit of the gospel of Christ. The destruction of Jerusalem and removal of Israel from the promised land have brought about their salvation. Israelites are different from those of the nations that Jehovah will annihilate.
