This week’s teaching covers a huge chunk of an exceedingly important book. But it’s a challenging book, too.
Isaiah is divided into two books: Chapters 1-39, which we’ll finish this week, is the Book of Judgment. Isaiah 40-66 is the Book of Comfort. It’s written by Isaiah, who had a forty-plus year ministry and is often considered the most important of Old Testament prophets.
In this teaching Karl describes who the prophets are, what prophecy is (not just predicting the future) and what was going on in the world at the time of Isaiah. All of this is essential to understand and appreciate what you’ll read this week.
It’s also important to note that God doesn’t pick sides, he always condemns evil. Evil committed by his people, and by the enemies of God’s people receive equal judgment.
But don’t despair. Even in the Book of Judgment there are many small but necessary moments where light breaks through the darkness.
