Are You Sitting in the Clouds? (Isaiah 47)

Isaiah 47 shows us Babylon as a young woman in her prime thinking that she is invincible — that she will live forever and that those things that happen to other people would not happen to her.  She pretended that there is no God who sees what she is thinking and doing and began to believe a myth about herself — that she was God.  And this Babylon that is sitting in the clouds, in her heart, will be thrown down to sit in the dust by the true God.  Our nation is susceptible to the same fault not just militarily but culturally and in terms of values.  But we are not God.  Right and wrong is not determined by majority rules of the most powerful nation but by the one who is God.  He is God and there is no other.
