Coincidence ~ I think not!

RELIGIOUS CONDITIONS IN THE TIME OF ISAIAH

Page Kelley, Judgment and Redemption in Isaiah, p. 10

The religious leaders were too busy drinking corn mesh to listen to the voice of God. It has been said that you can tell how low a nation falls by how low the women of the nation stoop. The women of Jerusalem were coarse, sensual, drunken, thoughtless, given over to wickedness. The people were ignorant of their spiritual need. They falsely assumed:

(1) that the Mosaic covenant could not be broken.

(2) Israel could fulfill her obligations by observing rituals and sacrifices.

(3) The Day of the Lord would be a day of triumph for Israel.

(4) God would never allow Jerusalem to be destroyed.

Sounds like the modern day apostate church.
