Today we are discussing Isaiah's praise and worship of God as he looks about after the aftermath of destruction that has been leveled at the world in chapter 24. A few themes that make their way into John happen in this chapter as well as some call backs to the book of Exodus. As a reference note, Noah couldn't find the reference for a story in Exodus where the Israelite Elders and Moses have a meal with God during this recording, but the reference is in Exodus chapter 24. The banquet and meal is less emphasized but it's still a part of the sacrificial system that occurs in that chapter. 

Join us this week as we return from the Christmas holidays to discuss the end of the world!!!! We dive into chapter 24 of Isaiah where the very foundations of the earth are shaken and the day of the Lord is promised to arrive over all of the land that Judah knows. Ashley is back this week to talk about some of these destructive forces and images at the forefront of this chapter. Sit back and as we prepare for the new year we hope this helps peel back some of the themes Isaiah uses in this chapter

Join us this week as Noah sits down and discusses the city of Tyre and why this prophecy gets leveled against this economic powerhouse in the middle east. Noah explains the source of pride for the city and how the themes of the city play out in the end of the chapter. 

Join us for the Oracle against the Valley of Vision today! We are reaching the time of the king Hezekiah, king of Judah and listening to another oracle against the land of Judah. Ashley walks through some personal themes that this chapter relates to her own journey with God while Noah spends some time on explaining ancient Israelite burial customs and why Shebna's action is so wrong. It's a great chapter and we had a blast with it.  

Join us for our dive into Isaiah chapter 21 where the author of Isaiah takes us through another chapter that focuses on Babylon, Dumah, and Arabia. Noah breaks down why Babylon gets mentioned again and Ashley discusses some of the historical invasions that happened between the Medes and Babylon in Daniel 5 that may be the historical reference for this chapter. It's a fun dive into the world of Isaiah you don't want to miss. 

Editors Note: Near the end of this episode we had a few technical difficulties that lead to the section discussing Arabia being cut short. We wish this wasn't the case but it briefly gets mentioned and we hope this will encourage you to read this section on your own and develop some thoughts surrounding it as well. 

Join us this week as we tackle chapter 20 of Isaiah. We are nearing the 1/3 mark through this massive book filled with dense imagery and complicated literary devices. Ashley and Noah sit down to discuss a shorter prose chapter this week describing the plight of the philistines as they rely on Egypt and Cush for salvation against the nation of Assyria. It's a fun chapter and Noah and Ashley take the time to discuss prophetic callings and God's odd commands as you'll see. 

A quick update for our podcast release schedule is given at the end of this episode so stick around for that as well. Thanks so much for listening and we hope this has brought you closer to understand scripture and God. 

Join us this week as we dive into the oracle against the nation of Egypt in the south. Noah and Ashley walk through a lot of the symbolism of how this chapter is a rehashing of the story of Israel in the book of Exodus. This was a longer chapter and took a few more minutes to dive into some of the specifics so we hope you stick around for it! Thanks so much for your continued support as we work our way through one of the longest books in the Bible.

Join Noah and Ashley this week as we sit down and discuss the most vague and obscure prophecy in the entire book of Isaiah according to several commentators. This week is all about the land of Cush which is located in the southern plains just west of Egypt. 

As an editors aside, Noah at one point discusses the alliance between Egypt and Cush, however he mistakenly uses the name Ethiopia when he meant to use the word Egypt. This can get a little confusing but he only makes the mistake twice before returning to the word Egypt but we figured it was best to point it out so you don't get too confused. 

Thanks so much for your continued support! Let us know how we are doing in the comments!

Join us this week as we tackle the oracle against the nation of Syria or Aram as it is sometimes mentioned. This is a complex oracle with several smaller oracles woven throughout the passage. A good portion of this episode is spent explaining the various different smaller sections in this main chapter. 

Listen in as we walk through the second part of the oracle of Moab. We've been working through the Oracles against the nations segment in Isaiah. Noah and Ashley talk about some of the themes and reflect on the beautiful imagery in this poetic section of scripture.
