10 STEPS TO THE DECAY OF A NATION
Isaiah 3:1-24
This is not only true of a nation, but also of a church:
- Removal of great leadership (vs. 1-3).
- Elevation of incompetent leaders (v. 4).
- Selfishness (v. 5a).
- Disrespect of elders (v. 5b).
- Affluent people neglecting their civil duties (vs. 6-7).
- Opposition to God (v. 8).
- Flagrant immorality (vs. 9-11).
- Loss of strong masculine leadership (vs. 12, 25; 4:1).
- Social injustice (vs. 14-15).
- Emphasis on a woman’s physical beauty and outward adornments over inner beauty (vs. 16-24).
