Isaiah
Chapter
Isaiah is the first collection of prophecy of the four major Hebrew prophets. Judgment to come is fundamental to Isaiah’s teaching. Israel and Judah are to perish but a remnant will survive and a new Jerusalem will rise up as a city of the faithful. It is also in Isaiah that memorable prophecies of Christ’s coming are found.
Isaiah 9
9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
