Isaiah
It is Best to Obey The Lord
In spite of their failures, God reminds Israel that He alone is the Lord and has called them and chosen them to be His people (v. 12). Further, God states His omniscient power over the creation in such a way that when He calls nature to obedience, both heaven and earth st …
Rescuing The Nation
What the prophet Isaiah speaks about when he writes in this chapter is much different (v. 1). What God’s Word talks about here is a different kind of light, and a different kind of darkness. The glory of the Lord is contrasted with the darkness of the hour that will precede …
Blessings in the Millennial Kingdom
In chapters 1-34, Isaiah has delivered a message of judgment on all nations for their rejection of God. Chapter 34 spoke of great distress when God will judge all people for their actions. In this chapter, Isaiah contrasts the barrenness of Edom with the blossoming of Israe …
Sustaining Power of God
Isaiah speaks by inspiration to a people who have lost hope. In this passage, He describes God’s power to create, His provision to sustain, and His presence to help. Human idolatry is pictured as being utterly ridiculous by the prophet. Through a series of questions he br …

The Lord Will Bless His People Who Survive
In this chapter the prophet looks beyond the “Day of the Lord†to that time when the kingdom will be established on earth. In that day women will be desperate to be married (v. 1). He goes from a warning of judgment to a message of comfort. Isaiah is the first pro …
The Lord Alone Can Save
This passage is God’s promise that when Egypt and the Soybeans (Arabs who came from Seba in Southern Arabia) shall fall down and acknowledge that Jehovah is the only God (v. 14). Though at times it may seem as if the Lord is hiding, He really is the Savior of Israel ( v. …
Woe Against Jerusalem
This chapter is the beginning of what some Bible scholars refer to as “Isaiah’s apocalypse.†The next four chapters discuss God’s judgment on the entire world for its sin. Isaiah’s prophecies were first directed to Judah, then to Israel, then to the surrounding na …
Praise For The Preservation of Israel
It seems that the nations around Israel have many myths about sea monsters. “Leviathan†was a seven-headed monster and enemy of God’s created order (vv. 1-2). To slay “leviathan†was a great achievement and the Lord promised to do it (Ps 74:14). When t …
