Isaiah
25:2
2 For thou hast made [suwm] of a city [`iyr] an heap [gal]; of a defenced [batsar]
city [qiryah] a ruin [mappalah]: a palace ['armown] of
strangers [zuwr] to be no city [`iyr]; it shall never [`owlam] be
built [banah].
KJV-Interlinear
2 For you have made the city a heap, the
fortified city a ruin; the foreigners’ palace is a city no more; it will never
be rebuilt. ESV
The destruction
of human tyranny clears the way for the glorification of God and the vindication
of truth over the lies and false opinions and corruptions of evil.
A city, is a
generic term not referring to any single city but to all cities.
They are the
pride of human construction, symbols of human ingenuity and wealth and culture,
the palaces of strangers or foreigners, or those set apart from God, and yet
their destiny is destruction.
The end result is
that they will all be destroyed in a very short time, and then they will never
rise again.
What will remain
is God and truth and Gods plan, for all who have looked to God, in obedience to
His principles and mandates and plan, resulting in the completion of themselves
as people, and in the fulfilment of their lives if they pursue Gods plan for themselves,
as God has always intended.
To pursue your
own agenda, is to pursue a dead end.
To ignore Gods
mandates, is to ignore truth and life's opportunities.
To remain
neither hot nor cold, but somewhere in the middle, is to be wrapped up in ones
own delusion of self-advancement, resulting in neither coming or going anywhere
in life.
The one and only
way to succeed in life is to end your own direction, and knuckle down to a
daily study and be taught and learn and advance as God intends.
