Isaiah 27 · Grade 4

Israel Will Blossom

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 27 begins with God's victory over evil. "In that day, Yahweh... will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent." Leviathan was a sea monster that stood for the powers that oppose God.

Then God sings a new vineyard song. In chapter 5, God's vineyard produced wild grapes. Now God says, "I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day." God promises, "In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit."

God would deal with Israel's sin, and the people would break down their idol altars. Finally, "a great trumpet will be blown." Those scattered in Assyria and Egypt would come home "and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem."
