We have been covering the Bible
by time sequence, phase by phase
OT1: Five Books of Laws incl Job.
OT2: History Up to King David
from Joshua to 1 Chron + Psalms
as well as Reign of King Solomon
in 2nd Chron & Wisdom Poetry.
In Phase 3, we see the decline of
the two nations, with Israel finally
dispersed by the Assyrians.
OT3A: 1 Kings: United & Divided
Kingdom and Obadiah & Joel
OT3B: 2K1-17: Israel Dispersion
and Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah.
Next, we will meditate on Prophet
Isaiah’s Ministry which spans
the reign of four kings in Judah.
This book is like a miniature Bible.
The first 39 chapters, like the
39 books of the OT stress the
holiness of God and pronounce
woe & condemnation on Judah.
The final 27 chapters focus on
the future, calling forth the theme
of NT: that the Messiah is coming
to bring comfort to His people.
We will cover book of Isaiah over
3 weekends under 6 divisions:
Judgment for Judah Coming (1-12)
Judgment for J’s neighbours (13-27
Judgment for whole earth (c28-35)
Assyrians at Jerusalem (c36-39)
Comfort & Peace Coming (c40-48)
