Isaiah: Big Picture How did we get on last week? Is this a useful programme? What are our aims for reading Isaiah?

Isaiah: Big Picture God created man perfect Man sinned and corrupted everything Jesus redeems the world God will one day begin again Prophecies have different meanings in different contexts. The image of God applies to everything.

Isaiah chapter 2 In the last days there will be peace and God will reign (v2-5). The people had abandoned God and God had abandoned the people (v6-9). In the mighty presence of God everything will be humbled (v10-21). So what is man all about? (v22).

Isaiah 2:19 God is absolutely outstanding. It is not enough to be good. God’s favourite people are humble. (Numbers 12v3) God will shake the earth. So stop thinking about men (v22).

Isaiah 2 What are the big phases of history from God’s perspective? _________________________________________________________ How do we define which phase of history prophecies apply to? _________________________________________________________ What is going to happen in the last days? (v2-5) _________________________________________________________ Do verses 6-9 refer to a time before or after that? _________________________________________________________ What is God’s eventual plan (the day in store v12)? _________________________________________________________ What does this image of God shaking the earth make you think about? Is it a fearful image? _________________________________________________________ How do you feel about fearing the Lord (see Job 28v28)? _________________________________________________________ What are the evidences of someone who is truly humble? _________________________________________________________ What is your relationship with God like right now? Are you abandoned, hiding in caves or humbled? _________________________________________________________ Do people have too much of a priority in your life? Are you preoccupied, do you think God is still central to your choices? _________________________________________________________ For next week: Read Isaiah 2,3,4, Focus on 3v13.
