Chapter review of the book of Isaiah exploring the messages of the old testament Prophet in the historical context of the time and it's message of hope and salvation to us today

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 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.
