Trust in God's ProvisionGo, my people This phrase is a direct address to God's people, indicating a personal and intimate relationship. It reflects God's protective nature and His desire to guide and preserve His chosen ones. The term "my people" is often used throughout the Old Testament to denote Israel, God's covenant nation (Exodus 6:7). It emphasizes the special status and responsibility of being God's people, as well as the assurance of His care and guidance. enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed Persons / Places / Events 1. IsaiahA major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book bearing his name. He prophesied during a time of great turmoil and change in Israel and Judah, delivering messages of both judgment and hope. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, often the primary audience of Isaiah's prophecies. During Isaiah's time, Judah faced threats from surrounding nations and internal spiritual decline. 3. God's Wrath Refers to the divine judgment and punishment that God brings upon nations or individuals due to sin and disobedience. In this context, it is a temporary period of divine retribution. 4. Rooms Symbolic of places of safety and refuge. In the ancient Near Eastern context, homes were seen as places of protection and security. 5. The Day of the Lord A prophetic theme throughout the Bible, referring to a future time when God will intervene decisively in human history to bring judgment and salvation. Teaching Points Divine ProtectionGod provides a place of safety for His people during times of judgment. Believers are called to trust in God's protection and provision. Spiritual Preparation Just as the Israelites prepared for the Passover, Christians are called to be spiritually prepared for times of trial and judgment by maintaining a close relationship with God. Temporary Trials The phrase "a little while" reminds us that trials and divine judgments are temporary. God's ultimate plan is for restoration and peace. Faith in Action The act of entering and shutting the doors signifies an active response to God's command. Faith requires action, not just belief. Hope in God's Timing Believers can find hope in knowing that God's timing is perfect. His wrath will pass, and His promises of redemption and restoration will be fulfilled.(20) Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers.--The vision of the judgments and the glory of the future leads the prophet to his work as a preacher of repentance in the present. His people also need the preparation of silent and solitary prayer (Matthew 6:6; Psalm 27:5; Psalm 31:21). As men seek the innermost recesses of their homes while the thunderstorm sweeps over the city, so should they seek God in that solitude till the great tempest of His indignation has passed by.Verse 20. - Come, my people... into thy chambers. As when a storm comes, prudence counsels men to seek shelter (Exodus 9:19), so now the prophet advises his people to put themselves under cover during the coming tempest. His meaning, probably, is that they should retire into the privacy of communion with God, withdrawing from public affairs and the distractions of a worldly life. Shut thy doors about thee (comp. 2 Kings 4:33; Matthew 6:6). For a little moment (so in Isaiah 10:25; and again in Isaiah 54:7, 8). God's estimate of time, we must remember, is not as man's (Psalm 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8). Parallel Commentaries ...
