God’s invitation to those entering the millennium in Isaiah 55 is quite amazing (v.1). He invites the thirsty and the hungry. He invites those who have no money. He offers salvation and deliverance to all who come, and He offers

Barreness – inability to have children – has always been a frustration for women. For Israelite women, it was seen as a sign of God’s judgment. Israel’s time of chastening was like a time of barrenness. But in Isaiah 54,

Blame-shifting. It’s what we tend to do. Yet, God’s servant, the Messiah, Jesus Christ, took our blame and our sin on Himself. What a fascinating and mind-blowing truth! What an incredible chapter that describes this very thing – Isaiah 53!

Unbelievable. An overused word, but one that accurately describes how people would have felt about God’s prophecy in Isaiah 47. No one would have found the fall of Babylon believable. It was the maiden city, inpenetrable. Yet, God said the

In Isaiah 46, God is ‘taking the mick’ (ridiculing) the false gods of Babylon. These ‘gods’ are formed out of gold, fashioned by a man, then set somewhere from which they cannot move, hear, or save (v.5-7). Every so often,
