Fasting is employed to show the people's response to the message of the prophet. It is this phony response of fasting that reveals the falseness of their profession. Genuine salvation is a work of God, not the effort of the sinner, by conformity to rules, to get God to change His mind about judgment of them. This passage reveals what real revival looks like. While revival results in a true believer's obedience, it is not a result of human response to the divine message. "If only we would take Him seriously and truly repent, pray, and seek His face." Revival is God's working through His people to bring righteousness to the nation by divine power. Revival brings glory to God alone through the humble, joyous, and Christ-honoring worship of His people.
