Isaiah
"The glory of His majesty"
Text: Isaiah 2:21
THE GLORY OF THE LORD
That the LORD is full of majesty is without question. The very Being of God is full of majesty! This is a thought that is worth keeping close to our heart!
“In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to worship,
To the moles and bats,
To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the LORD
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth mightily.
Sever yourselves from such a man,
Whose breath is in his nostrils;
For of what account is he?”
Isaiah 2:20-22
