The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a Yearنموونە
Week 17. Day 5. Isaiah 17-23.
Our chapters today are part of the section of oracles (messages of judgment) against the nations (Isa 13-23). As you read, bear in mind three different (and sometimes overlapping) ways these might function:
- Show God’s people the seriousness of sin.
- Give God’s people hope that the nations that oppress them will be judged.
- Show God’s people the folly of trusting in these nations rather than trusting the Lord.
What are the aspects of hope expressed even in these chapters of judgment?
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan
The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
