Summary

Isaiah 27:1 – Leviathan Slain

What it means: God defeats chaotic evil at its source. He is the holy King who brings order and peace. No enemy can stand against Him.

Isaiah 27:2–6 – The Lord’s Pleasant Vineyard

What it means: God restores what sin damaged. He tends His people in mercy so they bear fruit that blesses the nations. His covenant faithfulness brings new life.

Isaiah 27:7–11 – Discipline That Atones

What happens: Israel is punished but not like her enemies. Through this her guilt is atoned and altars are shattered. A fortified city becomes desolate because the people lack understanding.

Application

  • Trust God to defeat powers you cannot see.
  • Welcome His pruning that breaks idols and grows fruit.
  • Remember He gathers people one by one into a worshiping family.

Bible

1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

2In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

3I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

4Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

7Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

8In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
