Jehovah Humiliates Self-Exalted Ones

Jehovah Humiliates Self-Exalted Ones

DISGUSTED with the condition of Jerusalem and Judah, the prophet Isaiah now turns to Jehovah God and declares: "You have forsaken your people, the house of Jacob."  (Isaiah 2:6a)  What has provoked God to reject the people whom he himself had chosen as his "special property"? -Deuteronomy 14:2.

Isaiah's denunciation of the Jews of his time is of great interest to us. Why? Because the condition of Christendom today is very similar to that of Isaiah's  people, and so is the judgment that Jehovah pronounces.  Paying attention to Isaiah's proclamation will give us a  clear understand of what God condemns and will help us to shun practices that he disapproves of.  With keen anticipation, then, let us consider Jehovah prophetic word as recorded at Isaiah 2:6-4:1.
