This week’s Prophets portion is a repeat of an earlier portion. The portion for Noach covering Isaiah 54:1-55:5 is read a second time on two subsequent Sabbaths: Isaiah 54:11-55:5 for the portion of Re’eh and Isaiah 54:1-10 for the portion of Ki Teitzei. Rather than record three separate programs on the same section of the Prophets, we decided to re-post the discussion from earlier in the year covering this week’s Prophets portion. Enjoy!

This week’s Prophet Pearls repeat reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Isaiah 54:1–10. It accompanies the Torah portion Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10–25:19).

Employing the imagery of marriage and childbirth, God reassures His people of their ultimate restoration and growth. Although He has put away His wife, Israel, for a short time, with everlasting faithfulness He will take her back, never again to be separated from her. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
