Things had become so bad in Judah that the Prophet Isaiah went so far as to proclaim: “Truth is fallen in the street.” And that’s exactly the case in many a street in this old world!

I am beginning to wonder if people can even discern “truth” anymore! It’s like the whole world has been blinded to believe a pack of lies! (A situation which can be seen as the Judging Hand of God! 2 Thessalonians 2:11)

Isaiah again … “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Oh, I forgot to say that behind this culture of “untruth” (lying, deceit) is none other than the Devil! (Jesus in John 8:44 … “When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”)

The Universities of the world now even question the existence of truth, absolute truth! No longer firm and stable, their version of “truth” (so-called) is liquid, fluid … moldable into each person’s individual definition. (“Truth for HIM may not be TRUTH for you, etc.)

Yes, truth has fallen indeed! Isaiah was a Prophet, obviously.

Folks, today’s world is about ready to accept the “Man of Sin,” the Anti-Christ … soon as he is revealed. (After the Rapture of the Church, I believe.) And this “son of perdition” will be Untruth personified, a living Lie!

But now … one bright note. The verb translated “is fallen” in our Text (“Truth is fallen in the street”) is “kashal” in Hebrew. And it does NOT mean “to die!” (Real Truth can’t be killed!)

“Kashal” means “to stumble, totter,” and even “to fall.” But I suggest Truth will some day get back up!

That’s because Truth in Perfection (“Jesus Christ our Lord”) is coming again! Who Else ever could really proclaim “I am the Truth” and mean it, live it, prove it?

Truth!

Jesus also taught us that God’s Word is Truth (John 17:17b). And it is settled in Heaven, forever … Psalm 119:89.

I’ll close with one of God’s many honorable Titles, this one lifted from Revelation 6:10 … “O Lord, holy and true.”

Did you get that?

True … eternally true!

Hallelujah!
