Isaiah 32: Scoundrels Deposed, Justice in the Wilderness -- 2019/11/01 - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Wally Vinovskis, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Macungie, Pennsylvania, and President of the SELC District of the LCMS, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Isaiah 32.

“Behold, a king will reign in righteousness. […]The fool will no more be called noble.” After speaking harsh words of law for several chapters, Isaiah gives us some gospel again in chapter 32. Although God will punish Judah for its idolatrous trust in Egypt, King Hezekiah will lead a remnant back to the true God. In that day, scoundrels like Shebna who lined his own pockets while advocating for an alliance with Egypt will fall from power. The corruption under kings like Jotham and Ahaz would finally be over.Overall, Judah would be better off, but so much depends on perspective. With the right priorities, they could see that even amidst the devastation, true peace was more valuable than material wealth. Even in our own day, God will not fail to act, and one day He will finally end corruption once and for all. On that day, it will be clear to all that no riches are worth comparing to the grace of Jesus the Messiah.
