Isaiah 64 - 66

Isaiah pleads on behalf of the nation for God's presence, forgiveness and restoration.  Above all, he wants to see God revered in the hearts of the people.  God responds that He has not moved, it is Israel who has abandoned Him.  He promises to bring back the beauty and glory of His people by creating a new heavens and earth for them to enjoy.  This new creation will far surpass the one currently occupied.  Worship will continue and idolatry will result in destruction.  In this restored kingdom, God will reign supremely and permanently.
