Isaiah - Return from Exile
IsaiahSteve Gregg
Isaiah prophesied about the return of Israel from their exile and their re-establishment as God's chosen people. The message of the gospel, that there is a king named Jesus, is rooted in Isaiah's teachings. The covenant with Israel is not broken, but it has been superseded by the new covenant with Jesus. The dominant theme of Isaiah is the concept of fruit, as God desires for the nations and Gentiles to bear fruit and be married to Him.
