Today’s reading in Isaiah tells the story of the wrath of God on the Day of the Lord and gives us a glimpse into the Millennial Kingdom.

“In that day the Lord will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below”
Evil will be destroyed and Satan and his evil angels will be thrown into the Abyss.

Leviathan is mentioned. In ancient Aramean literature this is a seven-headed monster, an enemy of God and God’s created order of things. How very appropriate as a representative of Satan! Satan is most definitely an enemy of God and according to Hebrew word pictures, Satan is “chaos man”. (chaos as the opposite of order)

Isaiah 35 is a peek into the nature of things in the Millennium, as well as the attitude that should be ours as the redeemed today.

Isa 35:8
And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.

Imagine walking in that Way, His Way, the Way of Holiness. Do we have to wait until the Millennium?
