How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Welcome to Through the Bible with Dr. J. Burnham McGee.

I'm Steve Sweats and as we continue our five-year journey through God's entire word,

we're taking our time in one of the most important books of prophecy, the book of

Isaiah. Through Isaiah's eyes we're going to see the long view of history from

ancient past to present day to

coming glory. Yet chapter 40 verse 8 reminds us that the grass withers the flower fades

but the word of our God stands forever.

And that's why Dr. McGee's vision was to reach God's whole world with his whole word,

and why we follow in his footsteps ensuring through the Bible is heard in 250 languages all around the world reaching

listeners like Danny in Cambodia who writes this. Thank you for the words of

encouragement and direction I received through this Bible study. I grow more

dependent on God as I study his word. The teachings are quite helpful and motivated me

to change some of my attitudes that are contrary to what God would have me think. Moreover, the Bible

study program fully changed me into a new person who was inspired to share the love of God

with other people. I'm truly grateful for this transformation. I pray that the Lord will bless you.

Well let's pray and praise God for what he's doing in our lives and the lives of all

those who study with us. Heavenly Father, thank you for fulfilling your promise that your word

endures forever. We ask that you would use it right now to speak to us in the private places

of our hearts where sin dwells where we need to turn things over to you. We thank you in Jesus

name. Amen.

Open now to Isaiah 21 as we go through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon
