Themes:
1) Mankind is under indictment! We have been diagnosed with a terrible malady.
2) God is the moral authority in the universe! That's because He is . . .
3) God graciously offers salvation to rebellious and sinful mankind.
4) Choices have consequences.
(Don't forget, it it two weeks until we meet again.)
We finished our study of the opening prophecy of the book (chapter 1), and are now ready to move into chapter 2. Please read Isa 2:1-5, and then consider the questions below.
1. Is Isaiah talking about something that is going to happen in the near term, or prophecy regarding the future? What evidence from the text supports your position.
2. There are many who teach that vs. 1-2 refer to the church--what do you think about this theological position?
3. If you are skeptical of chapter 2 referring to the church, and you should be, what kinds of things in the text make you so?
4. If you start with the position that this chapter is speaking prophetically of the church--what does that mean vs. 3-4 are talking about? Does that seem like even a remote possibility? How about in the light of 1Tm 4:1-f and 2Tm 3:1-f?
