Trust in the Lord forever. For the Lord is an eternal Rock

"Trust in the Lord forever. For the Lord is an eternal Rock. He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, and levels it with the dust. it is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor", Is 26: - 1- 6).

The prophet Isaiah lived 750 years before Christ. Despite that period's political unrest, he looked forward to a kingdom so wonderful that even the world of nature is at peace. This perfect world would be ruled by a descendent of King David.When Isaiah proclaimed this prophecy, he spoke in poetic language of that time when the Kingdom of God would be fully established. He thought that this Kingdom would be achieved when the messiah came.Well, the Messiah has come and now we know something that Isaiah didn't know - there will be two comings of the Messiah. He has come... and he will come again.Right now we are at the time between the first and second coming of Christ, a time filled with preparation, growth. The seed has been plated... and there is work to be done before we will reap the harvest.Right now, our work as Christians is to proclaim in believable words and actions the Kingdom of God, building peace instead of war, justice instead of injustice, truth instead of error, persons instead of things, unity instead of disunity, love instead of hate, life instead of death.
