If you look through Isaiah chapters 3 to 5 you will see that these incredible chapters describe to us the state of Judah in the prophet’s day. What is remarkable about these passages is how much they overlap with our own modern western culture. A summary of the topics these passages will cover is:

-        Supply chain problems.

-        The lack of leading men.

-        Rule by youths.

-        Disrespect for the elders.

-        No honour.

-        No one wants to lead.

-        Pride of sin like Sodom.

-        Rule by children and women.

-        The elders and rulers use their power to fleece the people.

-        The poor have nowhere to turn.

-        Feminism/Haughty women/Women not led by men/Sexually licentious women.

-        Decadent prosperity.

-        Military defeats pile up.

-        Women are feeling the pinch of providing for themselves and clinging to any man that is left. 

-        Israel cannot flourish until their feminists are soundly rebuked.

-        Injustice and bloodshed increase.

-        House and property hoarding by the wealthy.

-        Drunken revelry and wild music parties.

-        Ignorance of the works of God.

-        Lies are everywhere supporting wickedness.

-        Evil is called good and good is called evil.

-        Individuals become their own standards of wisdom and truth.

-        People brag about being heroes of the drink.

-        Corruption overrides their courts.

-        The innocent’s rights are trampled.

-        Far off nations are preparing to rise against them.

       

Now that we have summarized this chapter, what nation does all of this sound like? And people say the Bible is not relevant, when it is more relevant than they could ever imagine.
