The Promise of the Messiah
The Promise of the Messiah
The book of Isaiah tells of the heart breaking ways in which Israel had consistently forgotten the Lord through their sin and rebellion. Isaiah warns Israel that their rebellion will come at a cost and that judgement awaits.
This judgement reaches its climax with the fall of Jerusalem and the exile of God’s people. However, Isaiah also proclaims a message of hope, that God would indeed fulfil his covenant promises through the coming of God’s ultimate King – the Messiah – and God’s Kingdom in the new Jerusalem.
