Listen "#59: Isaiah 7: It Comes After Isaiah 6"
Episode Synopsis
Many know one verse from this chapter for its connection to Jesus Christ, but few understand its immediate relevance to King Ahaz and the people of Judah amidst a looming Assyrian threat.
Exploring the historical context, we learn about how the powerful rise of Assyria dictated regional alliances and strategies, but that Isaiah's message in it all was clear: Trust what God says, not what you see.
