What does it say?
Israel will be gathered in Jerusalem to worship the Lord when the great trumpet sounds.
What does it mean?
One day the Lord will stop the chaos incited by sin and establish a world that reverences Him. God will destroy evil and death, remove sin and its consequences, and deal with all His enemies. Until that time, God, because of His great love for His people, will remove His compassionate protection and allow affliction in order to purify their lives from idols and remove rebellion from their hearts. He promised to continually watch over them. From all over the world, the Lord will draw His people, both Jew and Gentile, to His holy mountain in Jerusalem to worship Him and celebrate His victory with great joy.
How should I respond?
Everyone likes to be on a winning team; it’s part of human nature. Since Jesus is the ultimate victor over sin and death, following Him puts you on the winning side. Knowing that He’ll be victorious should cause us to trust Christ completely. Yet we use so much time and energy micromanaging our lives as well as the lives of others. What change in behavior will show you are depending less on yourself and your plans while trusting God more and more? How are you relying on your own ideas, strengths, or personality? Surrender your resources to Jesus today and live in greater dependence on Him. Relying on the Victor results in personal victory.

About this Plan

God calls Isaiah to prophesy to the idolatrous and rebellious people of Israel. Although a season of destruction was coming, Isaiah also prophesied of a coming “servant of the Lord” who would be “pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities…and with His wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). Even amid deep wickedness, God was still painting pictures of a greater salvation to coming in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
