CLOSED Isaiah Part 1 continued - The Word of the Holy One to Israel, the Remnant, and the Nations. . . and the Promise of the Child to Be Born
Precept Upon Precept Inductive Study by Kay Arthur
Isaiah is the crown jewel of Old Testament prophets, a book that strikes awe in the heart of its reader, especially when its poetry is read in the Hebrew. Prophecies from Isaiah are mentioned in twenty-two places in the Gospels, Acts, and Romans and the words of Isaiah were often found on the lips of the Christ. In Isaiah Part 1, we’ll meet the Holy One of Israel, and learn how He deals with those who claim Him as God but don’t honor Him as God in the way that they live. And we’ll find the destiny of nations, the future of all mankind . . . including ours. Spread over two semesters, this study will look at Chapters 1-39.
