🌟 The
Story of Isaiah — Prophecy, Judgment, and Hope
Part One:
The Call of Isaiah
Isaiah, a prophet in Jerusalem, saw a vision
of God:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the
whole earth is full of His glory.”
Overwhelmed by God’s holiness, Isaiah realized
his own sinfulness.
“Woe is me! I am ruined, for I am a man of
unclean lips.”
An angel touched his lips with a burning coal
from the altar, purifying him.
Then God sent him:
“Go and speak to My people, though they will
not always listen.”
Isaiah was called to proclaim God’s messages
of judgment and hope.
Part Two:
Warnings to the People
Isaiah warned Israel and Judah about rebellion,
injustice, and idolatry:
- Leaders
oppressing the poor
- People
turning from God
- Nations
threatening Jerusalem
“Woe to those who call evil good and good
evil.”
Yet God’s warnings were meant to call the
people to repentance — to turn back to Him before it was too late.
Part Three:
Messages of Hope
Even in judgment, Isaiah spoke of hope:
- A remnant
of faithful people would survive.
- God
would guide, protect, and restore His people.
- One
day, a righteous King would come, bringing justice and peace.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given, and the government will be on His shoulders. He will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
This prophecy points to the coming Messiah,
who would save God’s people forever.
Part Four:
God’s Sovereignty and Comfort
Isaiah emphasized that God is in control of
all nations and history:
- God
raises up kings and humbles them.
- God
protects Jerusalem and His covenant people.
- God
brings comfort to the brokenhearted:
“Comfort, comfort My people, says your God.”
He called people to trust God, even when life
seemed uncertain.
Part Five:
Lessons from Isaiah
Isaiah teaches us:
- God is
holy, powerful, and just.
- Sin
leads to judgment, but repentance brings restoration.
- God’s
promises include hope, comfort, and a Messiah.
- Trusting
God’s plan gives courage in times of fear and uncertainty.
