Isaiah 21-23: Morning Comes and So Does the Night

Isaiah's oracles don't hold out a lot of hope for many.  Babylon will fall, the survivors of Arabia will be few, and Tyre will be destroyed.,

"Watchman, what is left of the night?
Watchman, what is left of the night?"
The watchman replies,
"Morning is coming, but also the night. - Isaiah 21:11-12

It's not easy to contemplate, but God's laws are immutable and his justice swift.  It's one thing to look at one's enemies and hope that someday they will get their just reward.  It's another to comprehend the finality of God's judgement.  As we long for the Savior's coming, we must remember that morning is coming, but also the night.
