“Thus says the Lord God unto the land of Israel, An end.” (v.2)
This chapter consists of a denunciation of the Kingdom of Judah, a prediction of the dissolution of the State. The words here "An end" are exclamatory. That is the message in its entirety—"An end!" The time of patience was over, there was to be no more waiting. God waits long for nations, and gives them opportunities of returning to righteousness. But, if they persist in unrighteousness, the hour will come when He says "An end!" And that’s it.
This reads like a chapter right out of the Book of Revelation. It tells of a "Coming End." And like "the Day of the LORD," there will be some survivors but many will perish. If world history has taught us anything, it teaches us that the prophecies in the Bible are true, which means the Word of God is true. It is our road map to the future. We need to read, study, meditate, live by and pray on it every day.
God has given us a way out of the destruction that is coming. He gave us His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. And until His day comes, we need to share the gospel with all who will listen so they would come to know the love of Christ and be saved as well.
The Truth: "For unto to us a child is born, Unto to isa Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6-7)
