Shake That Dust

Isaiah 52:1-2 ESV 

Awake, awake,

put on your strength, O Zion;

put on your beautiful garments,

O Jerusalem, the holy city;

for there shall no more come into you

the uncircumcised and the unclean.

Shake yourself from the dust and arise;

be seated, O Jerusalem;

loose the bonds from your neck,

O captive daughter of Zion.


The remnant of the descendants of Adam will one day will be dressed with beautiful garments, as was Adam before the fall. No longer will they be imprisoned in the dust of the earth, but be seated on the holy mountain of Zion. They will arise and take their place as the people of the Lord. 


Adam was cursed to return to the dust from which he was taken. His children will shake off the dust and return to the presence of the Lord.
