In this video, we begin our in-depth study of the major prophets with an Overview of Isaiah (Part 1). Covering the first 33 chapters, we explore the central theme: The Messiah is our only hope.
We discuss the "vision of Isaiah" and how his prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem were delivered during the reigns of kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. We examine:
- The spiritual state of Israel and Judah, described as "dumber than farm animals" for forgetting God.
- Powerful prophecies of the coming Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom—the church.
- The famous call of Isaiah: "Here am I! Send me".
- Specific warnings against trusting in earthly alliances like Egypt and Assyria.
- The promise of a righteous King who would be a "wonderful counselor" and "Prince of Peace"
As we walk through these chapters, we see God’s judgment on the nations balanced with His incredible mercy for a faithful remnant. Join us as we look at how these ancient words point directly to the salvation we find in Christ today.
