What a strangely bi-polar point of view. Are you saying that if Israel had heeded Isaiah’s prophecy that Christ would have arrived to an idealistic world, sort of like the Postmillennialists propose? And, what do you make of Paul applying Isaiah 65 directly to his ministry?
Isa 65:1 I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that was not called by my name.
Isa 65:2 I spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, following their own devices;
Isa 65:3 a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens and making offerings on bricks;
Isa 65:4 who sit in tombs, and spend the night in secret places; who eat pig’s flesh, and broth of tainted meat is in their vessels;
Isa 65:5 who say, “Keep to yourself, do not come near me, for I am too holy for you.” These are a smoke in my nostrils, a fire that burns all the day.
Isa 65:6 Behold, it is written before me: “I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will indeed repay into their lap
With God all things are possible. Do not doubt His power. Just the shortcomings of man. If the world had been evangelized with all nations alerted that the Promised One was coming, then these things would have happened. If you doubt it take it up with Him.
And, what do you make of Paul applying Isaiah 65 directly to his ministry?
That Paul applies Isa. 65:1 to the Gentiles. Remember that the Jews thought the Gentiles had no way to redemption. Paul points to this verse to differ with them.
