Isaiah 2:1

"The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem." Now, the key word there is 'concerning'. So, who is Isaiah really addressing? Well, the southern half of the kingdom which is split at this time, but nevertheless as we've made note in our previous four programs, Isaiah is predominately prophesying to the southern kingdom of Judah, but he also reaches across up to the northern kingdom, so it really implies the whole house of Israel.


Now, I just had a thought. I haven't done this before, but I'm going to read something, and I'm going to read it because I don't think I can do it justice by just quoting it. This is a quote by Miles Coverdale, way back in the 1500's, probably shortly after Martin Luther came out of Roman Catholicism. Now, I'm going to read it in the Old English as it's printed here.
