Isaiah 66:5
"I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”"
Key Reflection
The people of Isaiah's time were being warned about their spiritual state. The Lord declared that He had chosen to deceive these individuals and bring their fears upon them because they consistently ignored His calls and refused to listen to His words. Instead of following righteous paths, they chose actions that displeased Him and went against His will. This verse reflects the judgment on a people who outwardly worshipped God but inwardly rejected His guidance, embodying a deeper spiritual condition that would lead to severe consequences.
