Description - The Prophecies of Isaiah: A Study Guide for Life by James K Crews
Isaiah faithfully and boldly spoke God's word during the reigns of four Jewish kings. He lived in a tumultuous time when the people Israel was about to be judged by God for their idolatry, immorality and arrogance. This judgment came upon the northern kingdom by the cruel Assyrians who devastated their land and destroyed the people as Isaiah had so graphically described. Isaiah was a humble man totally dedicated to God. He boldly warned Judah (the southern kingdom) of the consequences of their continued disobedience and rejection of God. He prophetically saw the final blow of captivity for Judah. Tenderhearted, yet with God's voice, he spoke of severe judgments to come upon the enemies of Israel. Yet in the midst of these dark words, he spoke bright words of hope, the promised coming of their Messiah, Who came to redeem, not only Israel, but all the world. His prophesies still stir our hearts today as we read his descriptions of judgment of the wicked, the establishment of Christ's Kingdom, the glories of His reign and the redemption and renewal of heaven and earth. This Study Guide for LIFE directs readers through the complexities of this epistle by a three-prong approach to explain what the text says, what it means and how to apply it to their lives. This is done by: 1) offering explanations of our current understanding of the more difficult passages; 2) asking readers questions that can be answered directly from the text to focus attention on specific aspects of the prophecy; and 3) asking probing questions that encourage readers to examine their own lives with the truth that Isaiah reveals. The Study Guide is appropriate for the study efforts of individuals, small groups or teachers preparing to explain this book. Whether you are a curious seeker or a professional minister, the Study Guide for LIFE will direct your studies into the heart of Isaiah's Prophecies, but also to the very heart of God.
