Welcome to BibleStudyMinistry.com, your online Bible Study supplement source. Today we have a chapter summary on Isaiah chapter 64. Before we get to the summary, let’s review the chapter below.
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
4 For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O Great Creator, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
7 And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
8 But now, O Almighty, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Almighty, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
10 Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion (Siyoni) is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire. And all our pleasant things are laid waste.
12 Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O Almighty? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Isaiah chapter 64 summary; the chapter comprises a heartfelt plea attributed to Isaiah on behalf of the House of Akobe. The Almighty is invoked as the Creator and Sustainer. The chapter conveys a deep longing for divine intervention and restoration.
In this chapter, Isaiah expresses the House of Akobe’s yearning for the presence of the Almighty. They recognize their own shortcomings and the need for divine mercy and guidance. The plea is made for the Almighty to come and redeem the House of Akobe. For him to crack open the heavens and come down.
Since the beginning of time, men have not heard. Neither have eyes seen what is in wait for those who patiently wait on the Almighty. However, man has fallen into a fallen state. The house of Akobe has fallen also; Zion or Siyoni is a wilderness and Jerusalem is desolate and needs redemption.
This chapter serves as a poignant expression of the House of Akobe’s hope for redemption. Also as a renewed relationship with the Almighty, emphasizing the importance of humility and faith.
This is the summary of Isaiah chapter 64, Glory to the King of the House of Akobe.
