Isaiah

 

Isaiah

Isaiah was a prophet and a poet wielding words of overflowing passion about judgment, healing, the majesty of God and His coming kingdom. Isaiah got a glimpse of God and realized his inadequacy and overwhelming need to rely on God to accomplish anything at all.

Isaiah consists of two sections, chapters 1-39, Isaiah condemns the sins of Judah and warns of coming judgment. It highlights law and condemnation much like the Old Testament. The second section, chapters 40-66, he prophecies Judah’s deliverance from Babylonian captivity and emphasizes grace and glorious redemption much like the New Testament.

Isaiah warned Judah against trusting in politics, but to trust the Lord and obey His word. The leaders did not listen, and Judah was eventually taken captive to Babylon. Isaiah guided and comforted the exiles both during and after captivity.

Our service to God must begin with honest, open-hearted prayer and personal one-on-one time with God in His Word. The more we know Him, the more we realize how much we need Him in our life.
