Simply Scripture

Prophecies against Philistia and Moab, two surrounding nations that warred with Israel.

And again God promises that although destruction is coming, it will not signal the end of this nation, the apple of God's eye!

What has God promised He would do in the kingdom to come? Isaiah 11 gives us some ideas. The response to that is pure praised (chapter 12). But Israel was still to face their fiercest enemy ... Babylon.

The promise of the coming Messiah is told again to Israel. They are reminded that God will return as the Root of Jesse. A kingdom is coming of everlasting righteousness that ALL will be blessed by!

The Lord may choose to use any nation He desires to accomplish His will but woe to that nation when they forget the Lord. The Lord warns the Assyrians of this very fact! He promises that no matter what comes upon Israel, He will redeem them!

God promises joy ... BUT ... He is displeased with His people. These are not mutually exclusive. His displeasure results when we willingly disobey because God knows we have been created to function in a specific way ... HIS way and chaos and pain and suffering ALWAYS results when we walk away from Him!

What would the signs of the coming Messiah? Could Isaiah be trusted? How would He show Himself to be faithful with the Assyrian army ready to attack Jerusalem? Would there be ANY future? God would use local "current events" to show Himself faithful so that people would understand and trust prophecies that were centuries away from being fulfilled!.

The calling of Isaiah and his vision of the temple of God!

Conditions that are heart wrenching in times to come will be replaced by God's gracious intervention! But in the mean time, He likens His people to a garden that He creates and tends ... but will that garden bear fruit?

The Lord's judgment was to fall upon the southern tribes of Israel. Leaders fail. Prosperity falters. The Lord is seen as a judge, examining His people.

The Lord's judgment was to fall upon the southern tribes of Israel. Leaders fail. Prosperity falters. The Lord is seen as a judge, examining His people.

In the last days, many will come to the Lord but many will attempt to flee away. Oh Lord, let YOUR kingdom come!! Soon!

God calls His people to come clean ... to confess and allow God's cleansing power to wash our sin away and make us white as snow. An incredible promise!

We are beginning a lengthy study through the book of Isaiah next. Join us as we consider the messages that the Lord gives to the nations around Israel, to Israel herself and ultimately to all of us.

We come to the end of this set of prophecies that look forward perhaps 2400 or more years into the future ... prophecies unparalleled anywhere else in Scripture.

Continue to explore this incredible, detailed set of prophecies that are so specific, some say that it had to be written after the fact. Yet, there is NOTHING that God cannot reveal.

Perhaps some of the most incredible prophecy in the Bible is found in this chapter. Daniel has an angelic visitation!

Empires that are and empires yet to come ... Daniel has a profound vision!

We continue the journey through the seemingly strange images that Daniel is given. How do they describe the future of Daniel's people?

Daniel has a set of seemingly strange visions. What do they mean?

Daniel reminds us what it means to stand for the Lord even when the culture makes it impossibly hard. And it brings him face to face with the lions.

When pride rules a heart, destruction is not far behind. One last lesson for Nebuchadnezzar. Then ... the fall of Babylon. Daniel reads the "writing on the wall".

When we are young, we need those around us who will show us the path that is wise. When those leaders have gone, will we stand or fall? Three young men chose to stand no matter what the cost!

What does a young boy, taken into a foreign culture, and who has lost everything he has ever known cling to? The one thing that is eternal and reliable ... the Lord.

The final things recorded in the Bible regarding our future with Him.
