You're there in Isaiah chapter 3. I want you to look down at verses 8 and 9, and I want to show you what God's Word has to say about the reason behind the cultural crash and destruction of Jerusalem. Here's what God said ruined Jerusalem. ''For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord to provoke the eyes of his glory. The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil un ...
