Isaiah Part I
A study of the prophecy of Isaiah. Written more than 2,700 years ago, it is very valuable to us today. There are many benefits to the study of what happened to Israel. Most important, though, one finds in this study some of the clearest prophecy about Jesus, written more than 700 years before He was born in Bethlehem. This book is quoted several times in the New Testament, even by Jesus, Himself. Themes encountered here include “remnant,” the assurance that God always preserves a faithful group, even in the worst times. “The Sovereignty of God” is dramatically presented. We hear Isaiah speak of “servanthood,” even calling Jesus a servant. He speaks of the “Holy One of Israel,” God Himself, and of the “Messiah,” God’s Anointed One.
