Today’s chapter continues telling of the glorious future for Israel; it is written in such beautiful language and opens up to us God’s kindness and grace to Israel of a still future day on this earth. A part of Israel called the remnant, as we have learned, will have turned to the Lord in the 7 years of tribulation just before the millennium starts. These are the ones that are described in this chapter. Try to remember two things about the future. To Israel, God is going to show His glories and wisdom on the earth. To the believers (the church, the body of Christ) He is going to show His glory and His wisdom in heaven. We must never mix the two, of course we can see often that they are quite alike. But still, one is earthly, the other heavenly. Many Christians get these two mixed up. Some of your Bibles have notes at the top. For instance, over chapter 41, they say “God’s church is exhorted to trust in Him.” These statements were written by men who were confusing Israel and the church. And many still do.
V.29-31 This is the little remnant in those last days.
