Restoration Images

Isaiah: A Topical Look At IsaiahSteve Gregg
In "Restoration Images," Steve Gregg explores the various ways in which the concept of God's restoration of the destroyed is portrayed through imagery in the Book of Isaiah. He notes the use of language to suggest a fixed entity or person being restored, such as in the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian captivity. The speaker also delves into the spiritual implications of restoration, citing references to a strong city with spiritual walls and a new Jerusalem inhabited by believers. Gregg concludes by discussing the restoration of the sick person or sinner through God's healing and sacrifice.
