Isaiah
29:24
24 They also that erred [ta`ah] in spirit [ruwach] shall
come [yada`] to understanding [biynah], and they that murmured [ragan] shall learn [lamad]
doctrine [leqach]. KJV-Interlinear
24 And those who go astray in
spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept
instruction.” ESV
Going astray and murmuring, are common reactions that
are directed against God, when things do not go right in life. Going astray is any deviation away from ones
spiritual responsibilities and human obligations of life. Murmurings are the grumblings against God,
for any reason, whether real or imagined.
And the end results will always be bad for the individual. More going astray, more grumblings will never
set things right, but will always continue the downward spiral of gloom and
doom in ones life. And this, despite
ones circumstances, whether successful or not.
The principle here is, that life and the things of
life will never satisfy, will never fulfill, will never bring contentment. The things of life only cause a bigger and
bigger vacuum, that sooner or later will cause an implosion and collapse in
your life. Something that can be avoided
with a change, a major change, of attitude, but stubbornness prevents that, and
therefore the ultimate punishment, brought on by oneself, occurs.
This is the general picture and history of the Jewish
people. Stubborn and stiff necked, they
have been through misery after misery, and atrocity after atrocity throughout
history, and only by Gods grace, do they continue to exist.
God has promised that race, that they will remain and
will exist right up until the final days of history, despite their rejection of
Christ.
And by the way, this principle of defiance against
truth and ones responsibilities in life, applies to everyone. Just so no one gets the idea that this is
only a Jewish problem.
But, when the end does finally come, the world and all
of life will be witness to just how strong, defiance and stubbornness can be.
The world will be brought to the very brink of
extinction of humanity, before attitudes change.
And here we have the promise and the prophecy. Those
attitudes will change.
And the attitude of going astray will cease. The attitude of murmuring will change.
People will turn to Christ, to doctrine, and learn and
be taught and will want to learn and will want to be taught, and their whole
outlook will transform dramatically.
Stubbornness and defiance toward ones role in life
brings only trouble and suffering and loss, and never anything good, never.
Adjusting to Gods plan and purpose for you and your
life, is the only thing that will bring you contentment and happiness and fulfillment
and so much more.
