Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with Isaiah

addresses Moab as we pick up an Isaiah chapter 16 verse one and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck let's turn to Isaiah chapter 16 as we continue our study through the prophecy of Isaiah.

Now in these next few chapters that we are covering here in Isaiah,

behind the scenes

Syria is arising as a strong powerful military force.

Assyria with its capital city of Nineveh

is becoming extremely powerful and beginning to develop a tremendous army that will soon be on a campaign of subjugating the world.

And so the Prophet Isaiah begins to address himself

rising from Assyria
