Isaiah 44: 26: “It is I Who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built.’ And I will raise up her ruins again.” After ridiculing the failed omens and predictions of false prophets (and we’ve seen a lot of those lately), the Lord through Isaiah tells of a time when Jerusalem and Judah will be re-inhabited and rebuilt. Impressive, since it was well over a century away from being destroyed at that time! He even predicts the name of the Persian king who will bring it about, before Persia was ever a big deal. (v. 24). When it comes to the days ahead, only God truly knows, so stop seeking the diviners and shamans.
