Isaiah 59

Isaiah 59. The passage primarily addresses Israel. It ends with the prophecy of Israel (Jacob) again being accepted by God - verse 20. This comes when the nations against Israel will be opposed strongly by the Holy Spirit. Apostle Paul in Romans 11 puts it after all the Gentiles who will believe have believed and been accepted when God turns back to Israel to bring Israel into full acceptance and implies that the Resurrection will quickly follow on from Israel's acceptance by God. This is a warning to other nations that the sand within the hourglass will one day all run through for acceptance by God. For the nations now is the day of salvation. Now is the acceptable time. Soon it will end and it will be Israel's turn again.
