Isaiah is intentionally giving us this
cosmic picture in order to crush our pride, in order to heal us. In Isaiah
2:10-11 we are told “Go into the rocks
hide in the ground from dread of the Lord and the splendor of His majesty! The
eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low, the
Lord alone will be exalted in that day.” The majesty of God will crush
our pride so how in the world is this good news? Because I believe that every
person really knows deep down whether you are a Christian or not that it really
is a lie that we’re in control of our own lives. It's an illusion.
We need the majesty of God to remind us that in the presence of God we're like grasshoppers and that his very breath can blow us away.
