I realized a special truth some decades ago.
When we go through hard times, our attention begins to focus on better days to come.
The Christian songs written and sung during the hard days of the depression often focus attention away from how bad it is right then, to a better day to come .
On that day shows up several times in 26 and 27.
The expression pushes the passage out toward the 1000 year reign of Christ and beyond.
God’s Promise is Victory
Could be a reference to a myth about a chaotic monster who was subdued.
Kind of like us saying “strong as hercules” it is a reference but doesnt mean we believe the god hercules
Could be a reference to Assyria, Babylon, or Egypt.
Could be a reference to Satan who is seen as a beast rising from the Sea in Revelation, the dragon etc.
The point is the same, God will judge over him and rule over him with a sword (could be the sword is the Word of God) God has won the victory, in the end.
But, we can’t get so consumed with some “in the sweet by and by” mentality that we become defeated, woe is me kind of people here and now.
God’s Process Involves Pain
God’s Work in us involves pruning and purging.
Vs 2-6
God’s Work is intended not for annihilation, but purification.
Verse 7-11
In Chapter 5 the Lord speaks of letting his vineyard get trampled, but here we learn it was not for annihilation but purification.
God doesn’t intend to wipe Judah (or any of those who belong to him) from the earth forever, but he does allow the hard things to come blow away everything that doesn’t belong (verse 8)
In particular, God seeks to strip away everything that is not of Him and every God that is not Him.
God’s Promise is Worth it
Two metaphors are used to talk about how it will be when God is done.
A harvest where God’s people are gathered as one.
verse 12
A Trumpet Call that Brings All God’s People home 13.
You sure can’t help but think of 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
