We continue our review of the book of Isaiah with a recap about prophets and an exploration into the second half of this book. King Hezekiah and the Assyrian invasion provides the background to this awesome section of scripture, from Isaiah 40 to 66 including the famous servant songs and how they apply to Jesus.
Paul and Dan continue a mini-series on the Prophets with an introduction to the first half of the book of Isaiah. They cover the historical background to the book and look at some examples of his message to Judah and the surrounding nations. They aim to demystify Isaiah's complex narrative and encourage listeners to dive into the text themselves.
Dan and Paul introduce a mini-series exploring the role of prophets in the Bible. Recalling their first podcast on prophecy and faith back in 2020, they revisit key themes, focusing on the significance of prophets in the covenant history of Israel. They discuss the diverse ways prophets conveyed their messages—through criticism, warnings, and symbolic actions and set the stage for a more detailed exploration of Isaiah and the minor prophets.
How should we read the Old Testament in the light of Jesus? Do we even need to pay it any attention now that Jesus has come? We consider what it means for Jesus to fulfil the Old Testament and find that, when Jesus reads and applies the different parts of the Hebrew Bible, he shows us how to bring it to life in our lives as Christians today.
How does faith interface with prophecy? Does prophecy create faith, or is there a whole lot more to it than that? Dan Weatherall and Paul Davenport dive into the Biblical world of the prophets to discuss this and many other questions.
