“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?”
Isaiah 29:15-16 KJV
Isaiah was prophesying against the decadence of the Jews, saying woe to you who think you can hide your plan from the Lord Yahweh. Ha! Do you actually think your secret schemes are so hidden that you say, ‘Who sees us doing this? No one knows what we’re doing!’ Oh, how great is your perversion! Who is more intelligent - the potter or the clay? Should a created thing say to its creator, ‘You didn’t make me’? Should a clay pot say to the potter, ‘You don’t understand’? The Lord Yahweh forms, fashions, frames, makes us but before that He imagined us. When Yahweh formed man from the dust of the ground, He imagined us. The arrogance of man opposed God then and even now certain world systems of governance defy God. Some believe that after having deposed all present world rulers, they will ascend into heaven and force God Himself from His Throne! But thank Yahweh Who said of Jesus, “Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten thee.” We, through faith, are begotten in Christ to eternal sonship. What wonder! What glory!
