What does Isaiah 27:2 mean?
Isaiah begins another section describing what will happen during the end times. This time is often summarized as "that day" or "the day of the Lord" (Isaiah 2:11; Ezekiel 30:3; Obadiah 1:15; Acts 2:20; 2 Peter 3:10). When the Lord reigns on earth, a restored Israel will be like a pleasant or fruitful vineyard. Some manuscripts describe it as a "vineyard of wine."Isaiah 5:1–7 also presented a vineyard song. There, the Lord destroyed His vineyard Israel because of injustice and unrighteousness. After carefully building and cultivating it, the Lord removed the protective hedge and wall around the vineyard. This allowed wild animals to come and destroy it. He also sent a drought over the vineyard and allowed thorns and briers to grow and take over.
When the Lord comes and destroys the wicked and makes Himself king of the entire world, the vineyard of Israel will be fully restored. The Lord Himself sings of it in the following verses.
