And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it."
Isaiah 28:17-18
I like this poetic description of the Lord cleaning house. :) In context, the covenant with death and the agreement with hell are agreements that men try to make with something other than God in order to save themselves, and they don't work.
The idea of God being able to break agreements like that is awesome though, because I think that we sell ourselves too often for things that can never save us, and knowing that God can triumph over anything is important.
Today, let's look forward to the perfect judgement of God when all falseness will be washed away, and in the interim, let's look to God when we need saving, and not to poor substitutes like death or hell. :)
