  2. Prayer of the WeekIsaiah 2 3Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. 5 Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD.

  3. Isaiah 42:10-43:7 Look in the passage for elements of - (1) His people’s sin; (2) His people’s suffering; (3) God’s commitment; (4) God’s redemption. BAD NEWS (1) SIN • “trust in idols” (42:17); “the blind” (43:16); “the Lord against whom we have sinned” (42:24) (2) SUFFERING • “a people plundered and despoiled (42:22); “no one to rescue them” (42:22); “he poured out his wrath upon them” (42:25) GOOD NEWS (3) COMMITMENT • “These are my promises” (42:16): turning darkness to light and making straight paths that are crooked • “I have redeemed you and called you by name” (43:1): God promises his support and salvation (4) REDEMPTION - “I will be with you”(43:2); “a ransom for you” (43:3); “created for my glory” (43:7); “precious in my eyes” (43:4)

  4. Christian prophetic themes in Isaiah What are some Christian themes in Isaiah? • What applied in Isaiah’s specific moment in history also applies more generally over all human history: humans have turned from God and are in need of redemption • A rebellious and sinful people, we have rejected God and His laws; • Our world, our existence, has been affected by our sinfulness and we suffer from it; • Our feeble efforts to appease God are self-serving and hypocritical • God desires for us to set things right with Him, and they will be if we turn to Him • God will redeem us from our terrible situation • God will bring a day of peace, the end of death, the end of suffering • The Servant of God will redeem us through His suffering, and despite his horrible appearance, will save us.
