Explore the Bible: Personal Study Guide: Fall 2020: Isaiah by Mike Livingstone (Editor), Terry J. Betts

 


5 out of 5 stars  *****

There isn't a single day that goes by without my communion with God. Studying His word keeps me in tune with His plan, His will, and His love. I can never take anything for granted. Life is a blessed gift and it is easy to love the gift and forget the Giver.

Bible study reveals how God communicates with mankind across time through His prophets in the Old Testament. Isaiah is one of the most prolific of these chosen men. This study shows Isaiah to be a man who feels deeply for his people. He suffers as God passes judgment on them for their worship of false gods, their disrespect for the temple, and their falling further away from the Law of Moses. Isaiah prays for their redemption. He also sees that God must rebuke sin but not without mercy. Hope is given through a promise that a remnant of his people will remain, course corrected by a penance of captivity for their sins, and a humbling before the One and only God.
