Chapter by Chapter review of the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. God's messages of warnings and promises to both Israel and all Nations. Promise of the coming Savior of mankind and punishment for those who reject.

1. A Walk through Isaiah
Warnings and Promise for the Future

2. Isaiah
• Prophet in the Southern Kingdom of Judah
• Called to serve during the times of Uzziah through to Hezekiah
• Was active during the times before Babylon took the Northern
Kingdom of Israel into captivity. Approximately Jeroboam II though
Hosea.
• As a Prophet and mouthpiece for and of God, his messages were
meant to remind the people of the covenant, to call out their sin, to
correct their ways, to warn of the consequences of disobedience,
and to give hope of God’s promised and planned future for those
who agree to follow.

3. A Major Prophet
• His message was not limited in time frame or scope
• He prophesied about things contemporary to the times he lived
and projected out far into the future, even the End of Times!
• He was not limited to the region of Israel. His message is one that
references nations in Israel and Judah’s day and is message to all
nations world-wide in regards to God’s ultimate intensions and
will.
• He will have one of the clearest GOSPEL messages point us to
Christ the Messiah!

4. Thematic Divisions
Written in 2 major thematic sections: First Half of Warnings and Second Half of Hope
The fall of Judah and Exile into Babylon marks the space between the two halves
The first half is directly aim at the Jewish people, both in the north and south.
The second half, post EXILE, is also directed to the descendant’s of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob but also is clearly meant to communicate to ALL NATIONS, potential ‘spiritual’
descendant’s of Abraham
The first half is noted from Chapter 1 through Chapter 39
The Second half is noted from Chapter 40 through 66
More narrow themes and messages divide each section into smaller sections.
We will explore them as we navigate this great book.

5. God’s message and vision to Isaiah
God speaks with Creation as his witness and audience
He tells creation, the heavens and earth, to listen to his assessment and evaluation of
the people of Judah and Jerusalem.
Bottom line is they are Blind and Backslidden
He compares them to domesticated animals – Ox and Ass
Judah is worst than both. For the Ox knows his owner/master. The Ass knows that he
lives in his master’s home.
The accusation is that Judah does NOT! They don’t acknowledge that God is their
Lord and that they reside in the Promised Land of HIS PROVISION.
God has brought them up, guided them, and nourished them. Yet, they do not even
act as if he exist. They do not even CONSIDER GOD in all that they do.

6. God concludes that Judah is a SINFUL nation
A people laden with sin and evil doers. Children of corruption.
They have forsaken the Lord and provoked him to Anger.
Question to Judah. Why should I even bother punishing you anymore?
You are too far gone. All you will continue to do is – Rebel and rebel again.
You are FULL of SICKNESS. You are PUTRIFIED with sickness.
Why have they not been ANNIHALATED and totally ABANDONED already?
Why have they not yet been treated like Sodom and Gomorrah?
A very small _________________!

7. Speaking to Judah, He now fully equates them to Sodom and Gomorrah
As Sodom and Gomorrah, you leaders of Judah HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD!
You do not honor me when you come to sacrifice bulls and goats and burn incense.*
You are merely going through the motions and your works are in VAIN!*
Your NEW MOONS and APPOINTED FEAST – MY SOUL HATES.*
What is note worthy about the points made above? *
When you offer praise, I will NOT hear. Why?
What is the ANSWER?

8. Thoroughly Corrupt
To be corrupted, rightness and or purity had to have previously been present.
Judah determined to have been corrupted.
Zion is accused of being a HARLOT. What does this mean?
Verse 23 says what about the leaders? Hint – Lesson Learned in the Prior Study Rewind and Review
God’s Solutions? What is his promise?
That in which the Rebellious trusted and desired, shall leave them desolate and destroyed by fire.
They will have NO rest or Relief. Unqenchable
