Read Isaiah 20-21
Think About It:
Isaiah 20
- For 3 years, how did Isaiah show his obedience to God? Why?
Isaiah 21
- When Divine disclosure for correction was revealed, how did Isaiah respond?
- What orders were given? When God speaks, it comes to pass.
Family Time:
- Isaiah 20:3-4: Isaiah walking around nearly nude was a sign to Egypt of what was to come. As the Assyrians took the Egyptians captive, they would humiliate them by stripping them and leading them away as prisoners.
- “They shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia, their expectation and Egypt their glory. When God judges Ethiopia and Egypt, it will be evident how foolish it was for Judah to look to them for protection against Assyria. Whenever our expectation is in something wrong, or our glory is in something wrong, the LORD will find a way to make those things disappoint us. Judah set their expectation on Ethiopia, and looked to Egypt for glory, but now they are left afraid and ashamed” (David Guzik).
- What has been the running theme these last few chapters? What are your expectations and hopes in?
