Did you know that the Old Testament book of Isaiah has a lot of similarities to the Bible as a whole. Some have went as far as to say that the book of Isaiah is a mini - Bible. Why would they make that connection? In this study we want to explore the similarities between the Bible and the Old Testament book of Isaiah.
First of all let's think about the message of each as a whole:
The Bible tells us that God is holy. All glory belongs to the Lord God and He displays that glory by judging sin and saving each one who calls on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation.
The book of Isaiah has the same message. God is holy. He is glorified when He judges sin and people are redeemed to Himself.
Secondly, There are 66 books in the Bible.
There are 66 chapters in the book of Isaiah.
Thirdly, The Bible begins in the Old Testament with the story of sin entering this world and ends with the New Testament where the story of salvation through Jesus Christ is told.
The Book of Isaiah tells of Israel's rebellion against God and ends with the predictions of its restoration.
Fourthly: The Bible has two sections - There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The Old Testament describes our lost condition and our need of a Saviour. The New Testament tells of God providing our Saviour Jesus Christ and His death on the cross and resurrection. It describes our need of repentance and invites us to come to Jesus for salvation through faith in His finished work on the cross.
The book of Isaiah has two sections - Section 1 includes Chapters 1- 39 where Isaiah delivered his message of condemnation to the Israelites, pronouncing judgement on their idolatrous and immoral way of life.
Section 2 includes Chapters 40 - 66 where Isaiah explains that Israel's captivity is due to the disciplinary action that God is taking towards them. Isaiah encourages the people to rid themselves of their idolatry, self righteousness and greed.
Fifthly, Both the Bible and the Book of Isaiah stress God's righteousness, His holiness, His justice, His compassion, love and grace.
