The Only Way to Go is Up!

In this passage, we see nation after nation judged for their failure to heed God's warnings and for opposition and rebellion against God. We encounter one of the great themes in both the book of Isaiah and the Bible: resistance and rebellion against God result in judgment. But within the prophecies and warnings are rays of hope. God is willing to save those who will repent and turn to Him. Throughout these prophecies, the Lord consistently offers the promise of salvation to all who truly turn to Him, repent of their sins, and live righteously.
