Bible Lab S2 Ep.33 - Sin, Exile, and God's Inevitable Triumph (Isaiah 58 - Jeremiah 14)

God gets the final word:

The final chapters of Isaiah are absolutely MUST READ chapters in the Bible. In chapters 58-59, Isaiah vividly describes the spiritual condition of Israel: "they grope for light" and walk in darkness even during the day! Their sins have made them blind to their dependence on God. Yet the following chapters set the stage for God's dramatic redemptive conclusion not only to Israel's history, but to all history. These last chapters are like the fertile ground from which the ministry and message of Jesus grow forth. Students of Scripture should give them their full attention and study!

In this episode, Ryan and Jake work through some of the thematic elements and big ideas to look for, as well as provide a brief introduction to the book of Jeremiah.
