Isaiah 27:10,11

No names appear. We have here a general description of society without God. If people leave out God from their lives, they merely exist. Life has no purpose.

God’s great purpose

v12 On that day the *Lord will gather his people one by one. He will gather them all the way from the river called Euphrates to the border of Egypt. He will act like the farmer at harvest, as he separates the good grain from the stems of corn. v13 On that day a very loud instrument will sound to call God’s people home from Egypt and from Assyria. They will return to *Jerusalem to praise God in his holy *Temple.
