Isaiah!
Let's read Isaiah together this week!
This week, we dive into the book of Isaiah the prophet.
Some of these texts will be familiar to Christians, who hear them during Christmas: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14). Some will likely be new. I know I was surprised to hear moles and bats mentioned: “In that day people will throw their idols away to the moles and bats.” (Isaiah 2:20).
What are you hearing that’s new in your reading of the prophets?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts at our next gathering, which will be November 2 at 12:30PM on Zoom and in person at Church of the Good Shepherd. Link for the meeting: https://zoom.us/j/337700714.
Remember to check out our Substack Chat on Isaiah too - come share your reflections and connect!
Is there any information on HOW the prophets received their messages from God?
I’m about halfway through Isaiah and I have to admit I had to Google a summary of it to figure out what is happening. Haha! It’s so different from the Gospels.
