Isaiah 32, the Reign of Righteousness, don’t be complacent, the Holy Spirit brings righteousness and peace.
The meaning of the word liberal has surely changed since the time of King James.
Isaiah 31, woe to Egyptophiles, the LORD will pass over Israel, but not Assyria.
Isaiah 30, don’t trust in Egypt! A rebellious people, yet God will be gracious, judgment on Assyria.
This Rahab (רהב) is a nickname for Egypt, not to be confused with the original Rahab (רחב ) from Jericho.
Isaiah 29, woe to David’s City, the Spirit of Slumber, return of sight and wisdom.
The Apostle Paul often quoted the Old Testament.
Jesus often quoted Isaiah, especially when confronting the Pharisees.
Isaiah 28, woe to Ephraim and Jerusalem, the cornerstone.
Isaiah 27, the Deliverance of Israel.
Continuation of the LORD’s punishment continued from previous chapter.
Isaiah 26, a song of praise, Messianic prophecy.
From the previous chapter we have the double meaning of be-Zion.
Not only was Jesus from Nazareth, Nazar is the Hebrew word for Christian. A song:
Other old testament promises of the resurrection:
The New Testament is full of the promise of the Resurrection.
Isaiah 25, a song of praise.
After the dire prophecies of Chapter 24 comes this song of praise:
Revelation 7:17: For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Isaiah 24, the LORD’s devastation of the Earth.
At the climate conference in Bonn, Germany, Syria signed the so called Paris Accord on Climate Change, leaving the United States alone as a non-signer.
Climate alarmists and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change believe that the thermal response to increasing CO2 is a feedback gain from increasing water vapor that results from higher temperatures, leading to much higher temperatures. Current climate model averages indicate a temperature rise of 4.7 C by 2100 if nothing is done, 4.65 C if U.S keeps all its Paris commitments and 4.53 C if all countries keep their part of the agreement. In all cases, with or without the Paris agreement we are headed for a disaster of biblical proportions as described in Isaiah 24, but IPCC call all these changes man-made.
As the chart indicates, implementing all of the Paris agreement will delay the end of mankind as we know it by at most 4 years.
But God has provided two important feed-back loops, clouds and vegetation to keep the climate from overheating. (more at https://lenbilen.com/2017/06/04/with-the-paris-accord-not-signed-can-the-world-still-be-saved-a-look-at-the-arctic/ ) This is not the real disaster, the real disaster occurs when mankind turns away from God.
