In this episode, we get to the center of chapters 1-12: Chapter 6 - the calling of Isaiah. It is one of the most famous scenes in the Bible. We discuss why this is the middle of these first 12 chapters and what God is calling Isaiah to say.

In today's podcast, we look at Isaiah 5 and Isaiah 7:1-8:18 which are mirroring sections as we work our way literarily through Isaiah 1-12. We talk about the coming destruction of Israel and the looming threat to Judah. Some pretty famous passages in here, like

"Behold, the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Come explore all of this with us.

Here is the outline of the Literary Structure of Isaiah 1-12

We are beginning a new study on Isaiah! Join us as we look at Isaiah through the lens of the literary structure of the book. Today we discuss primarily chapter 1 and how it relates to chapter 11:10-12:6.

Here are a couple of resources that will come in handy as you study with us.

Today we discuss the "Fig Tree stories" in Matthew and John and talk about the similarities, differences and connections in those and what we've already discussed.

Today we discuss the theme of the Fig Tree in Scripture beginning with Mark 11 and tying that back to Genesis 3.

We discuss a couple of important gardens in the New Testament and then what all of the "gardens" are ultimately pointing toward.

Today we discuss The Song of Songs and how this is another Garden and how it fits with the theme.

Today we discuss God's garden vs. the counterfeit garden that the world offers.

In this episode, we continue to look at Garden imagery in Scripture. We dig into the job description for the priests in Numbers and the imagery in Solomon's Temple and both of those connect to Eden.
