"Let the Moabite fugitives stay with you; be their shelter from the destroyer. The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land. In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it— one from the house of David—one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness." (Isaiah 16:4-5 NIV)
The LORD desires harm to no one. He offers refuge to all, even to the Moabites, who will turn from the wicked and ways and toward Him. In love, He has established a throne, upon which, our LORD Jesus the Christ sits and reigns with justice and righteousness.
The Moabites are offered an opportunity to avoid the prophesied destruction. We are all offered this opportunity to avoid destruction. In receiving that opportunity, we may find ourselves as homeless refugees in a world where we are not particularly desired. But, we will find refuge in the house of the LORD and with His people. The LORD will and has prevailed!
God's Peace - Pr. J
