Isaiah
"Behold, this is our God"
Text: Isaiah 25:9
RETURNING TO FAITH IN GOD
This prophecy has to do with Israel returning to the LORD one day. When that would occur is not revealed to us.
“And it will be said in that day:
‘Behold, this is our God;
We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the LORD;
We have waited for Him;
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.’
For on this mountain the hand of the LORD will rest,
And Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.”
Isaiah 25:9-10
