The gardener, with his spade in his hand, stood at corner of a 20 square-metre patch
of weed-covered ground. He was soon to start the arduous task of digging it over.
Before he turned the first sod, he slowly rolled up his sleeves. His arm had been
revealed and the sinews and muscles were all prominently exposed, showing he was
most definitely a strong man. The Lord Jesus, in the mighty miracles that He performed,
revealed ‘the arm of the LORD’. He had done miracles ‘which no one else did’. Isaiah
asks, “To whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?” It was to the Jewish people
that LORD’s arm had been revealed, but the sad record is, “Though He had done so
many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him.” Inexcusable unbelief!
Following the death of King Solomon, the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts. They were the two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, known collectively as Judah, and the 10 northern tribes, known as Israel or Ephraim. The latter was accused of ‘playing the harlot’, and consequently they were ripe for judgment. The prophet uses two creatures to illustrate the coming judgment: the lion and the moth. We can well understand the imagery of the lion, which in its fierceness could tear to pieces in an instant. However, the moth seems a most unlikely picture of judgment. But think about it. The slow methodical way it devours clothing is truly an apt picture of the way Ephraim would slowly degenerated under the chastising hand of God. God is not mocked!
“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?”
