The arrogance of the northern Kingdom has reached a point of no return. Total destruction is predicted by Isaiah.

Isaiah predicts the ultimate redemption of Judah from the Assyrians. There is a new king, Hezekiah, who will be faithful to God and lead us to independence from Assyria. He will establish a kingdom of justice and righteousness.

Isaiah is frustrated with the people who just refuse to listen, no matter how obvious it should be. Instead they choose to live and search in the darkness, and rely on sorcery and falsehood instead of God.

God instructs Isaiah not to join in the conspiracies of the crowds. Stay with the truth. Only God holds the truth, safety and refuge are with Him alone.

Isaiah tells the people, there will be much destruction, as God is angry with you for your lack of faith in Him. However, the core of the Jewish people will never be destroyed, as they recognize that Imannu -el. God is with us.

The destruction of Judah will come about during to the arrogance and capitulation of King Ahaz to the Assyrian King. However, God will save the remnant of Judah, and they will enjoy the wonderful bounty that God will bring after he cuts down the King of Assyria and sends his armies back in retreat.

A new approach to Isaiah's prophecy, "a son will be born". Isaiah chastises Ahaz for giving up faith in God and having faith in human power instead. Here Isaiah teaches us that the simple young mother and her baby know more about the strength of the Jewish people that the powerful kings.

Isaiah warns King Ahaz to remember the unique mission of the Jewish nation when considering his foreign policy. Do not form alliances with the enemy, and do not ne afraid of your attackers. They are just human beings that will ultimately fail.

Isaiah has a vision and a call to a mission. Through a strange process, Isaiah is cleansed by a burning coal, and suddenly volunteers before God to be His messenger. Lots of questions ...

Isaiah calls out the lies of the powerful, who try to make usbelieve that what is evil is good, and what is light is dark.
