Isaiah’s writings make up the longest Old Testament prophetical book, hence classification as one of the “major” prophets.
Isaiah 1
- Dumb animals recognize the authority and provision of their masters; but sinful men disregard God (vs 1-4)
- Is any punishment too severe for such obstinate rebellion? (vs 5-9)
- And all the while that they live in sin, they maintain a vain semblance of religion (vs 10-15)
- Will men not be reasonable about their sin? (vs 16-31)
Isaiah 2
- God will build an immense kingdom that includes Gentiles; tiny Israel is but a distant image of the same (vs 1-5)
- Israel, for its sinful idolatry and pride will be forsaken by God (vs 6-9)
- Will men not fear the almighty God? (vs 10-22)
