Isaiah 66:18-24 A Sign Among the Nations

In this poetic Old Testament "gospel", Isaiah wrestles with the foundational themes of righteousness, sin, grace, holiness and redemption. Though grounded in the present reality of Judah, Isaiah  proclaims future good news of a divine man who will reign as king, suffer as a servant, and do battle as an anointed conqueror. In this series, Bible teacher Michael Brent introduces listeners to the structure and thought of Isaiah. The section divisions used here come from Alec Motyer, "The Prophecy of Isaiah" (InterVarsity Press, 1998).
