Advent Meditation - Day 11
06 December 2011
by David Regier
So YHWH tells his messenger to tell his people that they will not get the message. Listen as they might, look as they will, they will keep on going in their sin, their rejection of the Lord.Dull them! Blind them! he tells Isaiah. Why? Lest they turn and be healed. How long? Until everything is dead.
This is the condition God prepares for his people to receive a Savior.
