Scripture Reading: Isa. 24—27

This message and the message following will cover four main things: Jehovah's reaction to Israel's degradation, His reaction to the nations' excessive action on Israel, Israel's turn to Jehovah, and Israel's return to the Holy Land for restoration.

I. JEHOVAH'S REACTION TO ISRAEL'S DEGRADATION

A. Israel's Degradation

Isaiah 24:5 speaks of Israel's degradation.

1. The Earth Being Polluted
under the Weight of Its Inhabitants

The earth is polluted under the weight of its inhabitants; for they have transgressed laws, violated statutes, and broken the eternal covenant. The laws here are principles, and the statutes are ordinances with judgment.

2. The Unfaithful Dealing Unfaithfully

In 24:16b and 20b we see that the unfaithful deal unfaithfully, even most unfaithfully. The earth's transgression weighs heavily upon it.
