Why did God institute the sacrificial system, along with the holy days and festivals, in Old Testament Israel- Do we really understand how this ceremonial program worked, and are there lessons we can draw from it that will assist us in our walk with God today---Those are questions we will ponder on this edition of -Encounter God-s Truth- with Dr. John Whitcomb as we continue the new series called -Isaiah- The LORD is Salvation.---We pick up today by looking at Hosea 6-6, then turning to Amos 5-21, reviewing two key parallel passages that we listened to at the end of last week-s program. We are engaged in a study of the early chapters of Isaiah-and we are currently finishing Isaiah one, where we are considering the theme, -Hope amidst Rebellion.- Dr. Whitcomb has explained how the vision that Isaiah received in chapter six led him to see the Lord God as -the Holy One of Israel.---God-s Word is true from the beginning to the end- With host Wayne Shepherd, Whitcomb Ministries expresses its thanks to Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, for allowing us to bring it to you in this format.
