Stagione 1
Isaiah 20 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 20 we have the fascinating account of how Isaiah went around barefoot and naked for three years. Was he really naked? Would God really ask someone to do that? Watch the video and find out.
Isaiah 19 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 19 Isaiah takes up the burden against Egypt - one of the great world powers of the time. Egypt is described in judgement prophecies with a punishment that sounds like a redo of the Exodus. But at the end it sounds like God elevates Egypt and Assyria to equal status with Israel, and all three will be a blessing to the nations. This is a remarkable Messianic promise
Isaiah 18 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 18 we have a prophecy about Ethiopia, but unlike the previous heavy words, this is not a burden. Rather it seems to be a word to King Hezekiah suggesting he not make an alliance with Ethiopia, which later is in fact advice he follows.
Isaiah 17 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 17 we encounter the burden against Damascus, the capital city of Syria. Damascus had a chance to know the Lord, having close ties with Israel, but it had “forgotten the Lord” and was scheduled for destruction, which happened not long after Isaiah prophesied it, with the Assyrian invasions.
Isaiah 16 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 16 the burden against moab continues, and we learn the great sin of Moab…. Pride. There isn’t much detail, but that sin is explored, and why it was significant enough for Moab to come under the judgement of the Lord. Do you have any pride?
Isaiah 15 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 15 we now come to the burden against Moab, where among other things it is predicted that every beard will be cut off, a possible reference back to 2 Samuel 10. This video contrasts some of the various burdens against nations near Israel and why some were destroyed completely and some not.
Isaiah 22 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 22 we have the burden of the valley of vision, which it turns out is Jerusalem, despite Jerusalem being on a mountain. This video explains that anomaly, and also covers the sin for which God would not forgive Jerusalem.
Isaiah 13 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 13 a series of “burdens” begin, which are heavy prophecies. The first is against Babylon. This video explores the double meaning of this burden, first against physical Babylon, and second in the next chapter, a description of Satan’s doom at Calvary. An amazing chapter, which Christ quotes in the gospel accounts.
Isaiah 12 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 12 we are surprised to find a song of praise. So this is a psalm of Isaiah written for the time when the world is under the control of the Messiah, which is actually now. Let’s consider this millennial song of praise.
Isaiah 11 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 11 is a continuation of chapter 10 which describes the giant tree of Israel being chopped down. Out of that stump was to come a shoot of Jesse, the Messiah. The Messiah was anointed by a seven-fold spirit which this video considers. We will then discuss the “rod of his mouth” which beats the nations. How does that work exactly?
