Isaiah 7 - 8
IsaiahSteve Gregg
Isaiah 7-8 is a well-known passage, but it's also one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. In this recording, Steve Gregg breaks down the chapter and provides valuable insight into its meaning. He discusses the importance of trusting God rather than earthly sources of security, the prophecy of a child being born who will bring an end to threats from other nations, and the significance of the seal of God. Gregg's interpretation sheds light on the deeper meaning of this chapter and how it still applies today.
