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 the redemptive work of Jesus Christ as we pick up in Isaiah chapter 1 verse 1 and now with

today's message here's pastor Chuck let's get into the book of Isaiah the book of Isaiah the book of Isaiah. The book of Isaiah is a marvelous book of

prophecy. Of course it is the longest book of prophecy in the Bible and it would seem that God gave to

Isaiah a clearer vision of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ than any other of the Old Testament

prophets. He writes much concerning the Messiah that is to come. In the first

verse it tells us the historical time of his prophecies

beginning when Yuziah was king of Judah, which puts it about 760 BC.

And he lived through the succeeding rains of Jotham, Ahaz, and into Heseakiah's reign,

and there is some conjecture that he lived through Hezekiah's reign unto the reign of Hezekiah's son, Manassa, who was an extremely wicked king, and there are some stories that Manassa, the son of Hezakiah ordered Isaiah to be sawed in two and that in the

New Testament the 11th chapter of Hebrews where it tells us about the Old Testament heroes.

It's interesting the New Testament in Hebrews calls them men of faith, but some of the modern evangelists today would tell you they lacked faith

because it tells you how they suffered.
