Isaiah
27:3
3 I the LORD [Y@hovah] do keep [natsar] it; I will water [shaqah]
it every moment [rega`]: lest any hurt [paqad] it, I will keep [natsar] it
night [layil] and day [yowm]. KJV-Interlinear
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; every
moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day; ESV
The vineyard from the previous verse, is the
description of the family of God, namely believers in Christ.
Jesus Christ controls history.
God takes great care of each individual, of each
generation, of the entire history of humanity, in order to grow and preserve
all who will be born into this world, in order that all who wish to believe in
Christ, will be able to do so, in order that all who wish to learn doctrine and
grow up in their spiritual life, will be able to do so, in order that all who
wish to have eternal life in heaven and a relationship with God, will be able
to do so.
Evil tries to prevent this.
Evil tries to take that which belongs to believers in
Christ.
Evil tries to redirect everyone's thinking, to
distract with enticements, to incite fear with threats, to build doubt with an
unfair world, to do anything that will turn people against God.
But truth is always there, standing on its own,
needing nothing to justify it, needing nothing to support it.
Truth stands on its own merit and power.
Evil has no merit, and no power.
Evil needs to deceive and lie and hide itself in the
darkness, in order to convince people.
Truth stands open to public view, and hides nothing.
Jesus Christ controls history and Jesus Christ takes meticulous
care of all who belong to Him.
