  2. Exposition

What is the message of the prophecy of Isaiah 16:13–14 for the people of God?

Isaiah 16:13–14 (ESV)

13 This is the word that the LORD spoke concerning Moab in the past.

The prophecies against other nations were, first and foremost, directed toward Israel. They had to learn not to trust in alliances with other nations. The only true salvation was to be found with the God of Israel. The promise of a messianic ruler (see Isaiah 16:5) is fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
