Remember that Isaiah, the whole Book, is clearly sectioned into chapters 1-39 … then chapters 40-66. Sort of a “Law” versus “Grace” scenario. (Comparable to the old Testament, with 39 Books … and the New Testament … with 27 Books!)
So we are nearing the “break,” ending the harsher chapters and segueing into the brighter chapters. And chapters 38-39, that Unit of the Prophecy, is critical, closing one division and yet in a way introducing the next segment.
Both are historical, too … 100% accurate and divinely inspired.
In chapter 38 we shall study a (terminal) sickness encountered by good King Hezekiah. And another of his powerful prayers, or perhaps intense faith in God. (Miracles attend that prayer!)
But chapter 39 is as “negative” as 38 was “positive!” (The King responds wrongly to a delegation from Babylon.) A situation in which Hezekiah experiences a lapse in that faith!
Get ready to experience “tons” of vital counsel on living for God! Even (hopefully) learning some “pitfalls” to avoid.
All of which will begin, the Lord willing, tomorrow morning.
Stay with us.
