The Holy One of Israel: Redeeming Hope for Godless Nations

Isaiah 22:12-13  In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called for weeping and mourning, for baldness and wearing sackcloth;  (13)  and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

Isaiah chapters 13-23 are called "The Oracles to the Nations" and they are bleak. The conquering armies will destroy that part of the world. Nation upon nation will fall by the judgement of God. Why? Because they loved other gods, and they placed their faith in lesser saviors. YET in every single nation there is redemptive hope. Even for current nations that run after lesser saviors there is still Redeeming Hope.
