Prophecies of Hope is a short series considering four Old Testament prophecies that point us towards the birth, life and death and resurrection of Jesus.

Each episode Fiona, Jen and Neil will consider what the verses meant when they were first spoken, how they shape the understanding of who the promised Messiah would be and what they tell us about Jesus, who, of course, is the fulfilment of the expectation of the anointed king, saviour and Lord. 

In Episode 4 we explore Isaiah 8:19-9:7; 11:1-9.

There are segments to enjoy including the reading of the passage, 'The Cloud' and '90sToNow'.

This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins.
