Isaiah 5:16
16 But the LORD [Yahovah] of hosts [tsaba'] shall be exalted [gabahh]
in judgment, [mishpat] and God ['el] that is holy [qadowsh]
shall be sanctified [qadash] in righteousness. [tsadaqah]KJV-Interlinear
16 But
the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show
Himself holy in righteousness. NASB
Exalted, ‘gabahh,’ here
means to be raised to a great height.
Holy, ‘qadowsh,’ means to
be set apart, and is formed from the combination of righteousness and justice.
Sanctified, ‘qadash,’
means to make clean, consecrate, dedicate, hallow, purify.
Righteousness, ‘tsadaqah,’
means sinless perfection, taintless purity.
When the ultimate judgment
is poured out on this world during the Tribulation, there will be such a high
death count, that it will be literally impossible to count the dead. And yet while many superficial types will try
to condemn God for His actions, as they have throughout history, blaming God
for the many atrocities that have occurred in history, the facts will make it
so clear, that the high level of judgment is more than justified, and in fact
mandatory.
Evil will have grown to
such great levels, that only the near and total destruction of humanity can
bring it to a stop. But then, as we have
already studied in Revelation, humanity will on its own, be so evil that it
will already be destroying itself to the point of near extinction. God will in fact be saving humanity from
total extinction.
The righteousness and
perfect character of God, His justice and fairness, will be raised to the
highest of standards and will be visible and obvious to all.
And in Gods judgment,
there is total cleansing and purification in His actions. God is not tainted nor
can there be found any sin or guilt or complaint in God for the execution of
His just judgment.
God will remain prefect
in His character, in His essence, in His holiness.
