Bible in Context

Isaiah 40-66 is confusing. You’d never know there was a 150+ year gap of time between the end of Isaiah 39 and this section. But by knowing the situation to which the prophet is writing, this last section takes on new life.

Ezekiel is weird. Really weird. This prophet writes from Exile with a Psalm 137 flare. A peek into visions of God and prophetic performances.

Today we sample some texts from Jeremiah and see just how hard this message and his call happened to be. Opening the door on whether God is for me or against me, and why it’s the wrong question to begin with.

Sometimes prophecy is treason. Follow the message and dilemma of a prophet named Jeremiah during one of the most catastrophic events in Israel's history.

We crawled through the window of Isaiah 7. God is giving signs – virgins, a child, and wait, Assyria? How the NT gives 3D views of 2D prophecies of 1D moments in history.

Opening the window on Isaiah 7. Aram, Rezin, Ephraim, and Remaliah’s son. Making sense of so many names and a bit on 2D vs 3D prophecy.

OT prophets are about current events. Their current events. You know the two key dates. Now learn the two key nations. This geo-political climate is like something out of a Tom Clancy novel!

If the OT prophets are your blind spot, that means 25% of the Bible is a blind spot. Context, culture, and history make these confusing books come to life!
