Can these words spoken through Isaiah to Israel also apply to America today? I believe they can and do! I also think that our time is running out if these words do apply to America today because if they do, what lies ahead is not something I pray would never happen to this nation. And, I also think that these words are not just for America alone, but for all the nations.
21 See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her—but now murderers! 22 Your silver has become dross; your choice wine is diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.
Once again, early morning reading of Isaiah my mind sees something else in the Lords words to Israel.
See how the United States has become a waste! It once was full of justice; righteousness used to live in its heart—but now has become an adulterer, murder, and immoral! Its wealth has become rubbish, its favor is diluted with corruption. Its rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after power. They do not defend the cause of the abandoned; the bereft means nothing to them.
The remaining verses in chapter 1 of Isaiah are applicable as well, especially if the opening paragraph is true.
