The Hopeful Prophet (Audio)

The Hopeful Prophet (Isaiah) Yearly Theme:  “Goodness is… Governing” Series Title:  “Goodness in G major” July 7th, 2024   Follow along in the Bible App: http://bible.com/events/49283795   Though Isaiah prophesied warnings and judgment to the nations of Israel and Judah, he also focused on hope in GOD’s plan of salvation not just for the Jews but for the nations of the world.  Isaiah’s messianic prophecies are so prolific that one would have to be completely blind to the metanarrative of his message.  And what was that message specifically?  It was a message centered on judgment (yes), but more importantly on the future of life beyond GOD’s judgment.  Because GOD loves humanity so much, Isaiah tells us that He was willing to become Immanuel (GOD with us).[1]  And in His coming to be with us, He would fulfill the promise He made to Abraham so very long ago to become a blessing to the nations so that all the world would know that there is one GOD who loves them and in Whom there is everlasting hope.[2]    [1] Isaiah 7:14. [2] Genesis 12:1-3.
