Will the Earth Learn Righteousness?


I long for You in the night; yes, my spirit within me diligently seeks You, for when Your judgments are in the land, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:9 HCSB

Isaiah is prophesying the end of times when Jesus returns. I remember when I read in Revelation about the time when Jesus returns and rules the earth that although there is justice and righteousness in the earth than men would hate it and rise up against Him. As I look at my world I understand. The persecution of the church is coming from the harlot. Rev 17. She is a prostitute. We are seeing our western nations giving allegiance to sexual sin and persecution of the Christians. If we read chapter 17 we see that great persecution of Christians will arise.

I see such a lust for evil in the earth now I can well understand why even though people will be ruled by a just and righteous God, they will hate Him, because He is pure and they hate purity.

I have had a revelation about suffering as well. Jesus suffered at the hands of unrightwous men but did not cry out, "Unfair!" We, His people, will suffer at the hands of evil, greedy men but cannot call out, "Unfair!" There is a reason. All the evil done against Christ and His followers bring His judgement. In the book of Isaiah 26:21

For look, the Lord is coming from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal the blood shed on it and will no longer conceal her slain.

All that is wrong and all the evil done against Christ and His followers cry out and He hears. He is coming! Soon!!
