OUR FATHER FROM WHOM SEPARATION RESULTS IN THE FAILURE OF EVEN THE BEST EFFORTS OF MEN

The book of Isaiah chapter 17 verse 10 ( purple ) says this;

You have forgotten God your Savior; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.

Therefore, though you set out the finest plants  and plant imported vines, though on the day you set them out, you make them grow, and on the morning when you plant them, you bring them to bud, yet the harvest will be as nothing in the day of disease and incurable pain.

Continuing in chapter 17, we see that the people Israel had forgotten their God and their direct experience of the consequences of this is that their most careful efforts to bring forth a crop of grapes failed so that their hopes of being able get reprieve from the disease and pain that afflicted them using their wine, were dashed.

Those who undertook to oppress God's people and plunder what was theirs are met with a sudden terror and they are evicted from the territory. As verse Isaiah chapter 17 verse 14 concluded;

In the evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone!

This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who plunder us.

Amen.
