The 7000

Isaiah 32:18 names what every builder wants — a peaceable habitation, safe dwellings, quiet resting-places. The modern answer for how to arrive there is accommodation: find a liveable arrangement with the dominant culture, lower the bar of confrontation, sign whatever the narrative in charge demands, and call the result peace. The Church names this wisdom. The business world names it pragmatism. Isaiah names it the wrong starting point. The chapter does not begin at verse 18.
