Isaiah: A Topical Look At IsaiahSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores themes that recur throughout the book of Isaiah. He notes that while certain passages are dealing with Israel, Judah, and Assyria, other passages are using the nations as humanized symbols, treating them as if they were animals. The speaker emphasizes that these symbolic representations reveal spiritual truths about Israel's relationship with God, and that it's essential to understand these metaphors to discern the overall message of the text.
