The Lord Has Spoken

"A voice of one calling: "In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord: make straight in the desert a highway for our God"- Isaiah 40:3 (NIV).

I've always known this was a prophecy about John the Baptist, but I had a revelation upon reading it over the weekend (pun intended). The verses immediately following read: "Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken" (vs.4-5). That sounds like the Rapture. That's when all people will see Christ returning. Could Isaiah's prophecy be more than just about John the Baptist? Could it be a prophecy about us as well? John the Baptist said, "In the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.'" (John 1:23). Are we walking and living in a wilderness? Yes, we are. Should we be telling people to prepare the way for the Lord, that He's returning? Yes we should. That means we are all "a voice of one calling in the wilderness." The question is: Are you using your voice? Because Isaiah says: "For the mouth of the Lord has spoken." When God speaks we should be listening.
