Isaiah 3.24



“Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume

there will be putrefaction;

Instead of a belt,

a rope;

Instead of well-set hair,

a plucked-out scalp;

Instead of fine clothes,

a donning of sackcloth;

And branding

instead of beauty. ”

Imagine a beauty pageant. Gorgeous young women dressed and made up to perfection. Immerse the winner in dead, rotting flesh. Yank large patches of hair from her scalp. Cover her in a burlap bag and brand her cheeks with a cattle iron. This horrible, cringe-reflex imagery is Isaiah.

What does the visualization of stinking, bloodied, branded young women have to do with me? I assume this is a graphic symbolization of my life under the influence and control of supernatural forces of darkness who care nothing for my well-being.
