"And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?"
We see the pronouncement of judgment upon the people of God continue in chapter 10. We have 3 questions in this verse that we must deal with. And in the next verse we return to phrase used 3 times in chapter 9.
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? word study, 'great questions of the Bible', the first of 3 in this verse; word study, 'will'; word study, 'come'; God has announced that judgment is coming in direct response to their sin and rebellion. In the first verse of this chapter, He pronounced 'Woe'. Never is it a good thing when God says this. Then He proceeds to announce their sin and what they was guilty of. He will now question them on what they thought would be their deliverance from His wrath and accountability for their actions.
'What will you do in the day of visitation?' There is day of visitation for all of us. There is the day the Gospel is presented to us, and we are left with a chocie of choosing good or evil. That day of visitation is from God, Who has said, 'The gospel has appeared unto all men.'
