OUR LORD WHO RESTORES

Isaiah chapter 55 verse 13 says this;

Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.

This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”

This prophetic passage speaks of the restoration that the Lord will undertake that will be to His glory forever because that which was fallen and cursed, He will uproot and replace with that which is living and blessed.

Genesis chapter 3 verse 18 - 19 speaks of the consequences of the fall of mankind and part of the curse was that thorns and thistles would dominate the land and men would have to struggle against these noxious plants to grow food to survive.

It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

The Lord Jesus, in His victory over sin and death, will restore creation from the curse and return it to a blessed abode for men that will be a sign of the Lord's victory forever.

Amen.
