The Book of Isaiah (Episode #85)
No other book in the Old Testament provides us such precise, intimate and revealing details about God’s Plan of Salvation as the Book of Isaiah. Sometimes called the 5th Gospel-- Isaiah is referenced approximately 85 times in the New Testament. The references are significant facts about Jesus birth (Virgin birth), his message ('The Spirit of the Lord is on me... to preach Good News'), the one who would 'Prepare a way for Jesus' (John the Baptist) and of course, details of his death found in the 'Suffering Servant' chapter (Isaiah 53). Isaiah lived around 700BC... but his prophecies resonate to this very day. With more yet to come!
