Isaiah 5:19
19 That say, ['amar] Let him make
speed, [mahar] and hasten [chuwsh] his work, [ma`aseh] that we
may see [ra'ah] it: and let the counsel [`etsah] of the Holy One [qadowsh]
of Israel [Yisra'el] draw nigh [qarab] and come, [bow'] that we
may know [yada`] it! KJV-Interlinear
19 Who
say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And
let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we
may know it!" NASB
People who view God and
doctrine with indifference, will mock God, will mock truth, will ridicule and
defy and make fun of those things that are far beyond their understanding.
The fools pretend that
God is the fool. The arrogant, presume
that God will cower and react to their provocations. The angry, the defiant, the frustrated blame
God for their predicament.
The very one who they
reject, they challenge, which in itself is a contradiction.
When someone rejects
something or does not believe in it, then you would think that he would simply
ignore it.
But wicked people, anyone
who rejects Gods plan and mandates and spiritual design, go many steps further
in their rejection. They hate something, ignore something, reject something,
try to re-define something, and then they go overboard in ridiculing the
original.
People made of dust and
possess short lives, presume that they know more than their maker, presume that
they know more than the God who is eternal and omniscient, and omnipotent. Only a fool would mock or ridicule someone
that is infinitely superior than they.
So the challenge, ‘Come
right now! Show us your face! Show us the proof of your existence and
wisdom! Why me? What have I done?’
And of course God has a plan
that spans many generations, many millennia.
God created all that exists. God
is not tied to the laws of this universe, laws which He himself invented and
put into place.
God is not able to sin,
and able to not sin.
And so foolish people
delve deeper and deeper into their own sins, in their challenge, in their hate,
in their frustration, against the one and only person that can save them, even
from themselves.
When you disregard God,
you disregard His plan. When you
disregard Gods plan, then you disregard Him.
When you reject Gods defined apparatus for the spiritual life, then you
reject God.
No one can invent their
own spirituality and gain Gods acceptance. No one can reject God and acquire
His awe. No one can invent something
better, and expect God to be impressed.
No one can argue a better argument and expect to win against God.
To do any of these is
mocking the one and only person who knows and has provided the very best
possible plan for humanity and each individual person. Rejecting God is rejecting your best and only
hope and future.
