” Rise up, you women who are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.” Isaiah 32:9 (NKJV)
Isaiah starts this chapter (and in his day there were no chapters or verses) with the statement that a king will reign in righteousness. the heading (imposed by humans in recent years) before the above-verse is “Consequences of Complacency.”
Isaiah is talking to the women of Israel and warning them that in just a little over a year times were going to change drastically. Terrible times were going to come upon them. They needed to be ready for the major change in their circumstances.
If I truly believe that we are living in the last days of earth’s history as we know it and that Christ is to soon return to earth to take the faithful home, then I must also accept the rest of the story in Revelation that things will get worse here on earth before that happens. I need to take Isaiah’s warning to heart and be aware of any complacency in my own life. I need to submit to the Lord moment by moment.
