MBS – Book of Isaiah – The Introduction
What I learned today:
- Isaiah was called The Messianic Prophet because he prophesied Jesus’ deeds and messages.
- Interesting note that a prophet does not necessarily mean foretelling the future. A prophet is someone God’s use to speak His words onto the people in the prophet’s day – God’s messenger, so to speak.
- Book of Isaiah is divided into two parts: his condemnation and warning for the people in the Kingdom of Judah, and the prophecies of Jesus.
- Judah gave advice to King Ahaz and Hezekiah.
- The blessings of God will only come to those who are obedient and faithful to God. Otherwise, the riches and victory will no longer be available.
I just wrote a talk on Isaiah! (well, not all of it… just Isaiah 43 : )
