68–Blessings after Correction

This is a continuation of the imagery of the agriculture parabolic form of expression (Isaiah 28:24–28). When God says that Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field (Psalms 84:6; 107:33, 35 Isaiah 32:15), He is saying that all things will be turned upside down as He accused the Jewish leaders of doing which was stated in verse 16. The Jewish leaders ignored God thinking He could not see them and realize what their sins were. They were revolving things in their minds, throwing them into different shapes, forming various schemes, and inverting the order of things and seeking to hide things from the Lord. This is nothing short of confusion (I Corinthians 14:33), which is not of the Lord. The apostle Paul describes this as a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28). The moral and spiritual change in the national regenerated Israel will become as thorough and obvious as if forested Lebanon were to become a fertile field or vice versa, the fruitful field esteemed (considered) as if it were a forest. So, God will be the one revolving the things for the nation's leaders to experience. When He does this, they would be very much aware of who God is, what He is doing, and what their genuine part is in it all.
