THERE IS a chapter in the Book of Isaiah that is so clearly about the suffering servant, the Messiah, that have tended to avoid it for centuries.
ISAIAH'S PROPHECY of Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, about 150 years before he conquered Babylon is one of the remarkable sections of the Bible that proves its authenticity.
THE SCENE shifts from Isaiah's prophecies of imminent invasion by Assyria to looking ahead to the Medo-Persian conquest of Babylon. At the heart of it all is God's plan to restore the fortunes of His people, Israel.
GOD CAN deliver us in the face of overwhelming odds. We discuss two examples from Isaiah this week--the miraculous healing of Hezekiah, marked by the backwards movement of the sundial's shadow, and the deliverance of Jerusalem from the Assyrian army.
This week, we read Hosea's prophecy against the northern kingdom of Israel, a final warning that was fulfilled when Assyria destroyed Samaria in 722 B.C.
HISTORY, PROPHECY, and a glimpse of a future war in heaven -- what more could we pack into this week's Bible study?

THE LONG rebellion by the small-G gods is all about getting control of God's mount of assembly, the Temple Mount.
