1. A prophecy against Edom (35:1-15)

The Edomites acted as if God were not there and took advantage of God's people in the time of their distress. Now they would suffer, and would know that God is LORD.

2. For the sake of my holy name (36:1-23)

God spoke to the mountains of Israel, for the people were away in exile. They had failed to be a holy nation, and he had punished them. They were scattered among the nations of the world, but they had not served him as a kingdom of priests, a missionary people. Rather, they profaned the name of God wherever they went. God would bring them home for the sake of his holy name, for they were a bad influence.

3. I will give them a new heart (24-38)

God promised to give his people a new heart so that they could be his holy people and a kingdom of priests--and be blessed. Jesus came to keep this promise.

Application: Lord, take away my heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh, a heart to love you and your people.
One Word: A heart to praise and love God
