Season 1
Isaiah 30 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 30 we have a prophecy against God’s rebellious children.... Which again is the nation of Judah. They have decided to trust in Egypt, a picture of the flesh, and found themselves fighting Rahab - a sea monster. What does this all mean?
Isaiah 29 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 29 we have a prophecy against Ariel.... Which once again is Jerusalem. This video considers why in this one place God calls Jerusalem by another name, and what it means. We then consider God’s declaration that he would confuse the wise among his people, and show how that is exactly what happened.
Isaiah 28 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 28 God once again turns to proclaim judgement on his own people. The northern tribes are guilty of wearing a “crown of pride” and the southern tribes guilty of a “covenant with death.” This video explains these things, and why we have the same sins too.
Isaiah 27 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 27 we consider the establishing of the kingdom of God, and the defeat of Leviathan, the dragon, the evil one Satan. God’s kingdom is then described as a vineyard filled with the nations as its tenants, who do produce great fruit. This is the complete opposite of the parable of the vineyard which Chrisst described, which was the house of Israel that did not produce fruit. This chapter describes gospel times.
Isaiah 26 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 26 we encounter a psalm oof praise in expectation of the gospel days to come - the times when the Messiah would walk the earth, and the legacy he would leave behind as he takes up his throne in heaven. This chapter describes our day, and the world we have inherited because of Christ and the gospel.
Isaiah 25 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 25 we have a tale of two cities. Not the story by Charles Dickens, but a comparison by the Lord of Jerusalem which was unholy, and the new Jerusalem which is his holy people. This video considers some of the interesting way that the same words are used in prophecy to give different meanings.
Isaiah 24 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 24 we have the start of a 4 chapter passage which basically all commentators classify as apocalyptic, but which is NOT. These four chapters do describe teh “shaking of te olive tree” but it is referring to gospel times, and not the end of the world. This begins the burden against all nations.
Isaiah 23 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 23 we have a judgement against tyre - the port city of the Phoenecians. This video explains the prophecy and the two attacks against Tyre by first the Babylonians, an then later by Alexander the Great. We consider then that this city was called a prostitute, and her wages were called “holy to the Lord.” Why is that?
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 21 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer. In Isaiah 21 we encounter three burdens (prophecies of terrible judgement) against babylon, edom and arabia. The Babylon burden is the second burden, and the book of revelation quotes from this chapter a few times. Why exactly does it do that, and is there a hidden message?
