Isaiah 28 is a prediction of captivity for Ephraim and a warning to Judah. For they didn’t trust Him, rely on Him, adhere to Him. Come, in the Quick Study you’ll see.
Before we begin, let’s pray:
Lord Jesus, You are the One all my trust is in. You are the magnificent Cornerstone in Zion. And in my life. So Lord, lead us through these wonderful verses and reveal more of what we need to trust, rely on, adhere to. For You, Lord.
Please read Isaiah 28:5-6
5 In that day the Lord of hosts will become a magnificent crown
And a glorious diadem to the [converted] remnant of His people,
6 A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment [administering the law],
A strength to those who drive back the battle at the gate.
How beautiful the Lord of hosts will be. Glorious to His people. He is both now. Do you see Him as beautiful and glorious? Trust Him, rely on Him, adhere to Him and you will. He is so beautiful and so glorious.

Please read Isaiah 28:16-17
16 Therefore the Lord God says this,
“Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone,
A precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed.
He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not [b]be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic].
17 “I will make justice the measuring line
And righteousness the mason’s level;
Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And waters will flood over the secret [hiding] place.
Listen carefully… whoever believes (trusts Him, relies on Him, adheres to Him) will not be disturbed or give way to panic.
Justice is coming. Righteousness too.
I can’t suggest high enough that you read the whole chapter to see what all this is about, but these words are true and accurate for us in this day. Trust Him, Rely on Him, Adhere to Him. For our God, Jesus, Is the Stone, the Cornerstone, the firm foundation. Blessed be His Name.
