0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | The Northern Kingdom of Israel is falling apart, but the Southern Kingdom of |
0:16.6 | Judah is still moving along and that's where we find ourselves today. |
0:20.7 | King Yuziah has just died and a son Jothem takes over the throne officially. |
0:24.6 | Jothem was one of the good kings in the Southern Kingdom and 27-6 says he |

1:18.2 | It's natural for us to look at this and immediately attach it to Jesus, but let's talk about what people in Isaiah's time |
1:24.0 | would have thought of this prophecy. They're living in a land that constantly sees war. |
1:28.3 | They've experienced lots of oppression and exile, their nation-state exists in division and decay, and they |
1:35.2 | currently live with the threat of the Assyrians attacking them. So when Isaiah |
1:39.2 | prophesies about the birth of a new king, under whose reign light will dawn and oppression will cease, |
