Today: [Isaiah 2] “In that Day” – is Today that Day? In chapter 2 of Isaiah the prophet describes a people who have idols in their heart in the midst of prosperity and peace in the land. Under the rule of Uzzah and Jotham there was relative peace and blessing in the southern kingdom. Rather than being thankful the people became decadent in their culture and while outwardly devout, secret groves and hidden pagan altars abounded even in Jerusalem itself. Isaiah declares that the day of the Lord would come and “in that day” the idols would be utterly abolished. As believers in Jesus we receive the exhortation to identify any idols in our hearts and deal with them now rather than suffer unnecessary consequences in “that day”.
