Swept Away

Isaiah 59:19
19From the west, men will fear the name of the Lord,
and from the rising of the sun,
they will revere his glory.
For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the Lord drives along.

It doesn't matter what part of the world we live in, everyone will come to fear the Lord. When the Lord returns in all His glory, we will all be in awe. Many of us have heard or seen pictures of re-enactments of what it will be like when the Lord returns, but honestly, outside of scripture, there is no depiction that can describe with accuracy what it will be like because it has not occurred yet. The images that we see or hear about are nothing more than one's interpretation or perception of what will be. The prophet Isaiah describes as God  gives him what He will do on behalf of His people. For the Lord will come like a pent-up flood. A flood comes quickly. It moves very fast knocking anything and everything loose or that "appears" to be rooted. And it continues to rise. For that is how the Lord works. Anything not rooted in Him will be swept away. We've all seen live pictures of floods after the water has hit. But a pent-up flood is one that can no longer be contained. Be rooted in Jesus for everything for that is how we His people are to be lest we be swept away.
