wolfbiblemoonApparently this book is the vision of a guy called Isaiah, I'm guessing he's a prophet?
God is back and he's pissed with his people for turning away from him. And he doesn't want those animal sacrifices any more that were apparently so very important in Leviticus. Make up your mind!
The holy land will one day be the place that the people of the world will stream to for moral instruction and it will inspire peace amongst all people, I think we're still waiting for that one. But also all the people who don't follow the lord will face his dreadful and terrifying judgement, again, doesn't seem to be happening.
2:22 says we shouldn't trust humans or give them special consideration, so get lock yourself in your underground bunker and see how long you manage without trusting or relying on a single other human being.
God is going to leave the people of Judah and Jerusalem to their fate, and lots of nasty things will happen to them when he does.
Those who remain after all these horrible events will be holy (survival of the fittest?) and will get to live under that mystical cloud that hangs around the mountain and glows at night. They will also be protected from the rain and heat by a tent.

Re: Your mission
Date: 2010-09-15 07:18 pm (UTC)I think you've articulated the basic problem with religion there, and it's such big one that I can't understand how anyone ever gets over it. I think that the bottom line is that when you've accepted that nothing that makes up your personality and character will survive the death of your brain, and that there's no need to invoke a higher power to explain the origins of the universe or life on Earth, then religion just becomes totally meaningless apart from the fact that it manages to remains a major influence in world affairs.
