Isaiah 1:28

28 But it's curtains for rebels and God-traitors, a dead end for those who walk out on God.

Isaiah 1:28 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:28

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the
sinners [shall be] together
Of the beast and false prophet, of the followers of antichrist, the man of sin, who are transgressors of the law of God, and sinners against the Lord; the destruction of these, or the breaking of them into shivers, as the word F15 signifies, see ( Revelation 2:27 ) will be at the time of Zion's redemption, and make a part of it; and it shall be all at once and together; these sinners will be all together consumed out of the earth, and these wicked antichristian ones will be no more in it, ( Psalms 104:35 ) ( Revelation 18:8 ) and they that forsake the Lord;
his word, his worship and ordinances; as the Papists have manifestly done, by setting up their own unwritten traditions against the word of God, by adulterating his ordinances, and introducing new ones, and by worshipping images of gold, silver, brass, and wood; wherefore they shall be consumed;
with the breath of Christ's mouth, and with the brightness of his coming, ( 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ) .

Isaiah 1:28 In-Context

26 I'll set honest judges and wise counselors among you just like it was back in the beginning. Then you'll be renamed City-That-Treats-People-Right, the True-Blue City."
27 God's right ways will put Zion right again. God's right actions will restore her penitents.
28 But it's curtains for rebels and God-traitors, a dead end for those who walk out on God.
29 "Your dalliances in those oak grove shrines will leave you looking mighty foolish, All that fooling around in god and goddess gardens that you thought was the latest thing.
30 You'll end up like an oak tree with all its leaves falling off, Like an unwatered garden, withered and brown.
