Caution: Objects in Mirror Are Smaller Than They Appear
Greetings in the Lord!
Whenever the Lord gives me the same passage of Scripture three times in a short period of time I pay attention. In this case, it is a word from Isaiah 16. Over the years the Lord has given me that word many times for people, as unfortunately, the message is appropriate and timely for them. So what is the word? Well, in a nutshell, Isaiah 16 is a prophecy against Moab , the arrogant and perpetual enemy of Israel. They will be humbled because of their prideful despising and mocking of Israel.
Did you know that God really frowns upon people hating others for no reason? That was the big problem with most of Israel's enemies--they hated them without cause or remedy. It was just plain hate. Maybe the driving force was jealousy or envy at the root, but in any case, they couldn't see the error of their ways because their own pride blinded them from seeing it, and well, jealousy is an endless pit. No amount of abuse or mocking would ever satisfy that vice.
