Isaiah
Judgment and Hope
I. Isaiah: Background Information
Isaiah‘s story 昀椀ts in the books of 1 & 2 Kings and Chronicles
Isaiah lived in Jerusalem and was a prophet to Judah and the leaders of
Judah.
Isaiah‘s ministry took place during constant warfare threat, and
opposition. Either a neighboring kingdom would attack them, or the
mighty Assyrians would.
How should the people respond to these situations? What does it mean to
trust God in these moments?
During the reign of king Uzziah, both Israel and Judah were relatively
prosperous. This gave them a false sense of security and fostered
complacency, apathy, and idolatry
Isaiah and Judah witnessed Israel being captured and taken away by the
Assyrians Isaiah and the leaders of Judah watched this all take place.
Isaiah warns Judah that they are next if they do not change their ways.
Isaiah‘s message is a message of judgement Judah‘s rebellion against
the covenant through their idolatry and oppression of the poor would lead
to their capture by Assyria and Babylon.
Isaiah‘s message is a message of comfort God would ful昀椀ll His covenant
promises by providing a future king from the line of David, who would
lead His people into faithful covenant keeping. This would result in God‘s
blessings 昀氀owing out to all of the nations, as He promised to Abraham.
