Isaiah/Part Two:
                     “Overcoming Darkness”
                            Isaiah 8:11-22

  

·        God has his strong hand on him; God’s personal agency and power:Jer 15:17

·        The warning: stay on the narrow way: Mt. 7:13-14

         Four Behaviors that Overcome Darkness:

1.      Fear the Lord, not the Situation

·        Regarding God as holy calls upon them to make God the most significant fact of their           existence; his holiness demands justice, thus Judgment: Mt. 10:28

 

 

2.      Take Refuge in the Lord

·        He is either our (sanctuary) refuge or a snare: Is. 28:16

·        Peter quotes this passage and comments: 1 Pet 2:8b

·        God is done talking: Mt. 7:6

 

 

3.      Wait on the Lord

·        Waiting upon God is a prerequisite of receiving His blessing: Isaiah 40:31

·        God is not through with Israel: Rom 11:25-27

·        This is further proof of a rebellious nation:  Lev 19:31

 

 

4.      Consult the Word of God

·        God has a positive plan: Jeremiah 29:11

·        They break yet another law: Ex 22:28
