2.The Book of lSAIAH.

A SUMMARY OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.

Isaiah, the prophet, speaks out against the corrupt leaders and for those who were disadvantaged by those who ruled over them.

He makes a distinction between the Holiness of God and the obedience to the laws of the old covenant and the results that they brought.

Not only for the Jews but also for us, he brings warnings and great hope if we are obedient to Him through God’s true messenger who came and is yet to come once more.

Jesus is the True Hope of Israel.  

Immanuel God with us. He will establish God’s Kingdom on this earth.

Isaiah’s prophesies are fulfilled in Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

It is almost impossible to study each chapter of this voluminous book. So let’s focus on the first chapter and see what God wants us to know in our day and time so we do not fall away and become rebellious against His Righteousness, Goodness and Holiness.

God wants us to know that He is a personal God. He has a personal Soul as well as a personal Body and Spirit so He is capable of feelings, emotions, desires and soul passions as well.

He becomes weary of trouble as we do. He is disgusted and grieved at His children who were once innocent but now their hands are stained with blood.

Can you imagine how He as a Father felt, how disgusted and exhausted by their rebellious behaviour? He was the Perfect Father!

Can you remember the first time you held your firstborn in your arms?

Inside that beautiful bundle of blankets,

was the innocent face of a child who will fulfil all your hopes and dreams.

Did you hold great aspirations for who he may become, maybe the next President? Or a Billionaire … Someone who will leave a positive mark on this world?

Let us fast-forward to our moment in time. Years have come and gone. Months became years and years brought trouble and rebellion.

The child has been influenced and corrupted and no longer lives a wholesome life. He has been tainted by the instructions that are no longer passed from his generation … but by the heathen who have taught him rebellion, disobedience, idolatry, murder, plunder and cruelty.

Just as it is today. God has become disgusted, and weary because those once holy hands that were held up in praise, prayer and adoration are now stained with blood.

These sins of Judah and Jerusalem are mentioned in this book.

1. Leaning over with iniquity.

2. A generation of evil-doers

3. Having corrupt children.

4. Forsaking Father God.

5. Provoking God unto anger. These corrupt children are contented in their backslidden state.

THE RESULTS OF SIN. Their bodies are full of putrified sores from head to foot. These were incurable… Fatal!

The surrounding country was completely desolate.

The cities were burned with fire. We can view these scenes on our TV screens. Yes, it is so relevant  today.

WHAT CAN A SINNER DO TO REDEEM HIMSELF?

GOD DID SOMETHING!

IT IS NOT TOO LATE. Those people had the Cross of Christ to look forward to with all it would accomplish.

We can look back to the cross and claim redemption, healing and deliverance. With all Jesus had accomplished.

TIME IS SHORT.

JESUS IS COMING FOR HIS OWN.

You need to repent and rid yourself of sinful habits.

Change your hypocrisy.

Pray pure heartfelt prayers.

Offer yourself as a living sacrifice.

Be baptized and wash away corrupt behaviour.

Let us all come back to the cross, repent and live an outstanding Christian life.

Be a doer of God’s Word and not a hearer only.

God will restore all that satan has stolen.

Amen.
