Description

God is entreated to intervene in the affairs of the world, to defeat His enemies, and to save all those who call upon Him.

Isaiah

64 1 If only you would tear apart the sky and come down! The mountains would tremble before you!
2 As when fire ignites dry wood, or fire makes water boil, let your adversaries know who you are, and may the nations shake at your presence!
3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you.
4 Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who intervenes for those who wait for him.
5 You assist those who delight in doing what is right, who observe your commandments. Look, you were angry because we violated them continually. How then can we be saved?
6 We are all like one who is unclean, all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. We all wither like a leaf; our sins carry us away like the wind.
7 No one invokes your name, or makes an effort to take hold of you. For you have rejected us and handed us over to our own sins.
8 Yet, LORD, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor.
9 LORD, do not be too angry! Do not hold our sins against us continually! Take a good look at your people, at all of us!
10 Your chosen cities have become a desert; Zion has become a desert, Jerusalem is a desolate ruin.
11 Our holy temple, our pride and joy, the place where our ancestors praised you, has been burned with fire; all our prized possessions have been destroyed.
12 In light of all this, how can you still hold back, LORD? How can you be silent and continue to humiliate us?
