ISAIAH 28-32
28:1. In this first woe (hoy, an interjection suggestive of impending doom or grief; cf.
comments on Isa 5:8), Ephraim, a prominent tribe representative of the Northern Kingdom, is
likened to a drunkard. The area of the North was fertile at that time. Samaria, the capital city
built by Omri (1 Kings 16:24), overlooked a fruitful valley (cf. Isa 28:4). Because of
Samaria's beauty it was called a wreath (cf. v. 3). The possibility of material prosperity was
great. However, the Northern Kingdom was throwing away the blessings of God as a
drunkard throws away his money in the pursuit of wine. Apparently drunkenness was a
problem in both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, so the figure of a drunkard is apt.

Reflections
Chapter 28- B.C. 725.)

 EPHRAIM-the northern kingdom also known as samaria

 Samria was in the good land(v.1,4 head valley) ngunit lahat ng ito ay mawawala, na
aprang bulaklak na malalanta (v.1,4)
 Dahil saknilang prosperity ay inabuso nila ang mga bagay na ito, sila ay nag mataas sa
Panginoon. (v.1 the crown of pride) sila hindi nakikinig siya Diyos at nag paka saya sila
sa buhay, nag lasing ng alak,, ( pagiging lasengo,ay problema sa northern kingdom by
barnes) silay mga lango sa alak. At hindi nakikinig sa DIyos at silay nag mamamalaki pa
na walang makaka talo sa kanila, hindi sila mamatay.sapagkat silay nakipag kasundo sa
kamatayan…(ito ay figuratively tumutukoy sa ibang nasyon na nakipag kasundo sila).
(v.11-15)
“the Northern Kingdom was throwing away the blessings of God as a drunkard throws away
his money in the pursuit of wine. Apparently drunkenness was a problem in both the
Northern and Southern Kingdoms, so the figure of a drunkard is apt.” (barnes)
  16-21-ipinakita ng Diyos na angkanilang pinang hawakan ng kaligtasan ay walang
kabuluhan kundi ang tunay na kaligtasan ay saknaya..at ang kanilang pinang
hahawakan ay walang kabuluhan, sila ay hindi mabibigyan ng tunay na
kapahingahan,, kapag silay natutulog sa maliit na higaan at maiksing kumot (v.20).

 Kayat ang galit ng panginoon ay sumakanila at ang panginoon ay mag papadala ng ibang
bansa upang lipulin sila (v.2) at wawasakin ng DIyos ang buong lupain (v.22)
 24-29-ang judgement ng panginnon ay hindi magtatagal, ito ay tama, at patas alam niya
ang kanyang gagawin upang mapabuti ang lupa, katulad ng isang mag sasaka

Chapter 29

 Mensahe tungkol sa Jerusalem ( the second woe) ang judgement ng DIyos ay mapupunta
sa Judah, Jerusalem, pero ang nais ng DIyos ay para bumalik silang lahat sa DIyos..
 Ang Jerusalem ay ang lugar na kung saan ipinagdidiwang ang mga festivals ng ating
Panginoon
 Ariel ( mostly referring to heart of altar where everything was burn Ez.43:15) na ang
ating Panginoon ay gagawin niang heart of altar ang Jerusalem, kanyang susunugin ito,,
pero hindi siya literally kundi ang assyrian empire.)
 Ang mga tao sa Jerusalem ay ginagalang nila ang DIyos sa kanilang labi pero malayo
ang kanilang puso saknila (v.13)
 V.9-12 hindi nila naunawaan ang ang revalasyn ng panginoon tungkol sa kanyang
judgement
 V.13-14 people of Jerusalem, professing to know God, were formally involved in acts
of worship but they did not worship God from their hearts. They were more concerned
with man-made legalistic rules than with God's Law, which promotes mercy, justice,
and equity. Because of that, God would judge them; their wisdom would vanish.

Chapter 30-720bc—
-time of the Assyrian king shalmeneser (2king 18:7-10) Hezekiah rebelled to Assyrian but hidi sila nanalo,
sila ay nagging alipin muli sa asyrria dahil hindi nila sinunod ang tinig ng Diyos (2kings 18:11-12)

(2 king 18:21) king Hezekiah,, nilusob sila ng asiria 92kin. 18:13) ngayun sila naman ay humingi
ng tulong sa egipto..sa tuwing sinasakop ang mga israelita sa halip tumingin sa diyos tumingin
sila sa mga bansa para humingi ng tulong..

 The people seeking without the counsel of the Lord,without the Lord.,the people focus to
much and trust in human abilities than God’s ability to save
 Salvation is promised to the deaf who hear the words of the book,the blind who see out of
darkness,the humble will increase their joy;the poor will rejoice in the Holy one of Israel.
 Rebellious people (v.1) was the people who ask for help to other nations
Chapter 31-
 The people ask Help for the foreign country ,Egypt, and assryria
 Those who trust in the other country but don’t look to the holy one ay kawawa (v.1-3)
 Maswerte ang nag titiwala sa Diyos tayu mag balik sakanya(4-6,7,8)
Chapter 32
 It t is refering to messiah (v.1)
 V5-6)- fool leaders, (ecclesiates 10:16,17)
 V.9,10)- ang mga babae noon mas umaasa sila sa mga bunga ng lupa kesa sa panginoon
(4:1) but si Isaiah ipinakita niya na hindi mag tatagal ang lahat ng bagay at ito ay
mawawala (v.13,14)
 V.11-12) replacing sackcloth means mouning or pagluluksa (example 2king 19:1)
  V15-20) their only hopes is when the Holy Spirit will be poured in them,…..the role of
the Hosly spirit is to transform.
 In the early chapters of his book Isaiah focused on the corruption and unrighteousness
that marked the people's lifestyle. Now he portrayed the righteousness that will mark the
lifestyle of the redeemed. When the Spirit of God is poured out on humankind:
 Justice will dwell in the desert and righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of
righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and
confidence forever. (barne’s)

Isaiah 28:7-9

7Gayon man ang mga ito ay gumigiray dahil sa alak, at dahil sa matapang na alak ay
pahapayhapay; ang saserdote at ang propeta ay gumigiray dahil sa matapang na alak, sila'y
nangasakmal ng alak, sila'y pahapayhapay dahil sa matapang na alak: sila'y nangamamali sa
pangitain, sila'y nangatitisod sa paghatol.

8Sapagka't lahat ng mga dulang ay puno ng suka, at ng karumihan, na anopa't walang dakong
malinis.

9Kanino siya magtuturo ng kaalaman? at kanino niya ipatatalastas ang balita? silang nangalayo
sa gatas, at nangahiwalay sa suso?

ARIEL
Ariel is the symbol name of Jerusalem, meaning the Lion of God
Topheth (30:33)
A place of burning in the valley of Hinnom to the south of Jerusalem (jer.7:31-32) History
