The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearSample

Week 17. Day 2. Isaiah 4-6.

Ch 4-5 continue from ch2-3 in setting out the people’s sin, but note the ‘glimmer’ of hope in 4:2-6 – which will burst into blazing light once we get to Isaiah 40 onwards. But first Judah needs to be confronted with her sin.

Note 5:13-14 speaks of going into exile (v13) as being the same as going into the grave (‘death’/’sheol’) (v14)

Isa 6 Call of Isaiah

Isaiah’s call matches with what the nation as a whole needs, and the rest of the prophecy will develop. As you read Isaiah 6, note the following features (chapter numbers in brackets note where the book as a whole focusses on this theme)

• A higher view of God (Ch 40-48)
• A deeper view of sin (Ch 1-39)
• Cleansing from God (Ch 49-55 – especially Ch 53)
• A new commissioning (Ch 56-66)

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.
