Weekly Bible Reading: Isaiah 1-6
Hey guys :)
I just wanted to give you guys a little introduction before reading the book of Isaiah.
Remember how the books of the Bible are divided into different sections?
For example, this is how the Old Testament (39 books) are divided up:
If you look at the chart, you can find that Isaiah is the FIRST book of the Major Prophets. (Prophets are people chosen to speak for God and to guide the people of Israel.) Isaiah was a prophet to the nations of Judah and Jerusalem. Most of the people there were rebellious, forgot about God (as usual) and became idol worshipers--- so Isaiah tells the people what condition they're in, and how they desperately need salvation. (By the way, Isaiah's name means “salvation of the Lord”! --- how fitting ^_^)
Anyway, even though Isaiah is speaking to a rebellious nation with warnings of doom--- God ALWAYS gives promises of HOPE too--- IF they repent and turn from their evil ways.
Read Isaiah 1:9-20:
1. What two cities does Isaiah compare Judah and Jerusalem?
How were they like _____ & _____?
* Hint: We learned about them in Gen. 19 ;)
2. The Lord says "If you are _____ & _____, you will eat the best from the land; but if you _____ & ______, you will be devoured by the sword." (v. 19-20)
What do you think that means?
answer#1(sodom and gomorrah)
answer#2(if you are willing and obedient you
will eat the best from the land.) (but if you resist and rebel you will be devoured by the sword.)
wow bawool!
you are fast! O___O;;;
good job :)
