We all have something that we depend on and Isaiah 31 warns us about where we place that dependence. Jehovah wants us to rely on Him. Our shield is what He calls Himself. The things that we place above God will perish someday. It is time to turn back to God through Jesus.

The Kingdom that has been prophesied for centuries is described in Isaiah 32. Rightness and judgment will reign there. All our senses will work perfectly. Everyone will be recognized for what they are. This is what will come, but today we must pursue these ideals as we strive to bring others into God’s kingdom.

Women are encouraged to be a significant part of this plan. When this was written, the woman was considered property. Life has changed greatly since then. Those who believe that the Lord views females as inferior are mistaken. They are a significant part of His creation.

The plea of Isaiah 33 is for the Lord to be gracious and be our strength and salvation. He lives above us and gives salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. What we produce on our own is worthless. Those who participate in the righteousness of God will be honored and supplied with their needs. Jehovah will rule over them as judge and lawgiver. 

Yahweh asks all nations and people groups to listen in Isaiah 34. He is angry with them and will destroy all the countries that fought against Israel. Even the stars will fall from the sky. Sounds very ominous doesn’t it? The Perseid Meteor shower would be an example of this. Edom and its capital of Bozrah are mentioned specifically. They are in the current land of Jordan.
