The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

The Intersection of Time

The days are evil and evil destroys (Eph 5:16). There is no spirituality in isolation (Eph 5:19). Family begins with God. Love is the expression of true spirituality (Eph 3:14-15).  Our time is pre-appointed (Act 17:25-28, Mat 6:27). He did this so that people would seek for Him (Jer 29:13). The cross intersects time with eternity. We will remain a slave to sin until we believe. Time goes quickly and slowly depending upon our perspective (Job 7:1-7). Time causes pain and suffering because He wants us to seek Him (Job 14:1-6). After months of Job crying out to God and suffering, his focus changed (Job 19:25)
