The book of Isaiah is a tale of two cities: the Jerusalem Isaiah knew, and the Jerusalem that he saw. We are introduced to both in the opening five chapters. They are like two photographs marked, ‘before' and

‘after'. But how will the transformation come about? Isaiah's answer is ‘Judgment!' And it's coming soon.

The opening of Isaiah's vision is not a pretty sight. The Lord has twenty- twenty vision, x-ray vision even, when it comes to the sins of his people. While God sees perfectly, Judah's hearing is not good at all. So bad, in fact, that the Lord initially addresses the heavens and the earth, rather than the people, with his analysis of the situation. That can be summed up in one word: rebellion! What follows is a kind of ‘state of the nation' address, that says, to put it bluntly, that the nation is in a state. ‘They have

forsaken the LORD, they have despised the Holy One of Israel' (1:4). And where has it got them? ‘Your country lies desolate' (1:7).

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This commentary from the Day One group is consistent with the group's first two aims: 'To be faithful to the Bible, God's inerrant, infallible Word; To be relevant to our modern generation'. Readers who can accept these policies may well find much that is helpful here. However, the author goes further and states that the New Testament gives the explanation for difficulties in Isaiah which might otherwise be inexplicable. Thus Isaiah's book is not treated on its own merits, but should be read in the light of the New Testament. Moreover, the widely accepted view that Isaiah is a composite work, containing the prophecies of two prophets and a group of disciples, and these spread over at least two centuries, is simply not acknowledged. Those who can accept this will want to read on.
