In Isaiah 19-21, there are
words of judgment and words of grace: “The Lord will strike Egypt with a
plague. When He strikes them, He will also heal them. They will come
back to the Lord. And He will respond to their prayers and heal them”
(Isaiah 19:22). The question is asked, “How can we escape?” (Isaiah
20:6). To this question, the Lord gives His answer: “When the people cry
to the Lord because of those who oppress them, He will send a Saviour
and Defender to rescue them” (Isaiah 20:20). From the words of Isaiah
21:9 - “Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the idols they worship He
shattered on the ground”, we look on to Revelation 18:18 - “Fallen!
Babylon the Great has fallen! She has become a home for demons” and
Revelation 18:4 - “Come out of Babylon, My people.” God is calling His
people turn from worldly ways “Come out of Babylon, My people.” He’s
calling His people to turn to Him - “When the people cry to the Lord
...” He’s calling us to trust Him. He’s calling us to obey Him. He’s
calling us to sing the song of salvation: “Hallelujah! Salvation, glory
and power belong to our God” (Revelation 19:11).
