Spirit of Judgment Cleans Up Jerusalem

On that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of Israel's survivors. Whoever remains in Zion and whoever is left in Jerusalem will be called holy—all in Jerusalem who are destined to live—when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodguilt from the heart of Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning. Isaiah 4:2-4 HCSB

On that day! The time that the Messiah will reign—that righteous branch. What a day it will be in the millennial kingdom! The Holy Spirit as the spirit of judgment and burning will cleanse the land and particularly the city of Jerusalem of the wickedness.  It will truly be a holy city. One set apart—purified by God Himself. Holy—and likely glistening in the sunlight. Oh, that will be a sight to see. And the people there will be holy—that would mean they will be tender hearted, pure, overflowing with love and kindness. That will also be a sight to see—and experience. Like Heaven on earth. Where will you be when Jesus comes into His glory in the millennial kingdom? Heaven or earth? The choice is yours. To believe in Jesus as Savior, Lord, and the Son of God…God Himself, means that you’ll be in Heaven. Have you made a choice? 

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit—Oh Spirit of Judgment and Burning—reveal Yourself to those in Israel who are seeking to know You. Help them to find their own personal savior—as well as the savior of their nation for whom they have been searching for more than two thousand years. May they see Jesus for who He is…Son of God, Lord God, and Savior who came to the Jews first…and then for all mankind. He is the Branch of the Lord who is beautiful and glorious before us all.
