Isaiah 26:20
The Sure RefugeIn these verses, God answers His people’s complaints and encourages them to trust in Him during times of trouble. He invites His people to find safety in Him, promises that their troubles will not last long, and assures them that He will judge those who do evil. This passage teaches believers to seek shelter in God, to be patient in suffering, and to trust that justice will come.v. 20: God calls His people to come into their rooms and hide for a little while. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast . This means believers should separate themselves from evil and trust God to protect them, just as Noah entered the ark or Israel stayed indoors during the Passover (Exodus 9:21; 2 Corinthians 6:17 a; Psalm 27:5 b). God’s presence, His promises, and prayer are our safe places in times of danger. The trouble will not last long—it is only for a little while.
