Tying Chapters 1- 5 to Chapter 6

In Chapter 5 God pronounced 6 woes upon Judah and Jerusalem. The summation of the first five chapters
Woe #1: verse 8 - gaining possessions through covetousness gaining at the expense of others
Woe #2: verse 11 - having days devoted to drinking and partying; their devotion had become feeding the desires of the flesh that this was leading them to Hell and children were becoming just like them
Woe #3: verse 28 - drawing sin to them as if sin was tied to a cord, once they had the sin ,it had them and they became a slave to the sin as a ox is fastened to the cart it pulls than while deep saying we want God wisdom yet in their hearts they knew they would reject it.
Woe #4: verse 20 - claiming what God call evil to be good and rejecting what God said was good to do
Woe #5: verse 21 - Claiming their wisdom above God’s wisdom
Woe #6: verse 22 - - becoming mighty drinkers - drinking so much that they mingle or make their drink stronger and stronger without being affected. What good in them were being taken away by their commitment to becoming mighty drinkers and wickedness was their reward.

Verse 24:
The product of their sin - rottenness all the way to their roots - there was no possibility that Judah would return to Him. - judgment was emanate.
The truth about their sin: they through out God’s Law and despised The Holy One’s word.

The outcome of Judah’s sin - The gentile nation being used to God to judge Judah. There was a time coming when God would give the signal to their enemies to begin
Verse 30
That day when The Lord call the nations to take Judah in to captivity the immediate future
That day when is God is going to call the nations to once again judge Israel because they willfully rejected The Messiah at His birth.- life, death, burial, resurrection

Proverbs 22:8 ¶ He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
1Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

The first five chapters were not written directly to Judah and Israel (1:2). God knew the heavens and earth would listen before Judah would hear Him. So in these first five chapters Gis was really talking to Isaiah. Telling him that in spite of all that He had done for Judah and Jerusalem they rejected His Law and His Word., so judgment was coming soon. But Isaiah wasn’t quite ready to deliver the message God had for Judah. So Chapter 6 - He was given the opportunity to see The Lord in all His glory sitting upon the thrown and live.
Isaiah had to come to terms with man’s worthlessness compared to the glory of the Lord.
When his iniquity was taken away, and thy sin purged the grace of God, then he was able to take a message to Judah and Jerusalem that they would here but yet reject.

You can not serve God before your sin are taken away.
Our responsibility is to faithful, to obey and to serve - regardless of the outcome
The response to The message is not to our glory but to Christ’s
