The Vision and Call of Isaiah

The Vision and Call of Isaiah
The book of Isaiah has ample archaeological evidence to support its authenticity and history corroborates many of its prophecies. Isaiah was a different type of prophet. God told him to prophesy against Judah and other nations for their sins, but He also told him they would not listen. Isaiah’s prophecies were fulfilled in his lifetime, after his death and some are still yet to come. Most importantly, the book contains many Messianic prophecies, all of which point to Christ.

Turn Back to God Now! Judgment Is Coming
God sent Jonah to a foreign kingdom with this message, “Turn back to God now! Judgment is coming.” Miraculously, they listened and did just that. This is the same message that needs to be preached to our entire government and all of America. If the president’s spiritual advisors and those with a platform start saying, “Repent! Believe in Jesus Christ and repent of your sins,” we might have a chance. VF-2545 Jonah Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Amos: Don’t Keep Pushing the Limit with God
The prophet Amos speaks of God’s judgment against the northern kingdom of Israel. God spelled out their sins in great detail and warned them that their punishment was coming quickly. History shows us that God kept His word. While there is very little hope in the book of Amos, there is a promise that in a future time, the scattered people of Israel will be brought back and Christ will dwell in their midst. The lesson for us today is this: don’t keep pushing the limit with God, because at some point, He can get enough.

Hosea: The Judgement and Anger of a Loving God
God told the prophet Hosea to marry a whore to symbolize the spiritual infidelity of Israel. In their prosperity, the people had failed to give God thanks and had worshiped idols. God still loved them, but He said that if they would not repent, they would not be His people and would not obtain mercy.

Joel: There’s Still Time to Turn Back to God
The prophecy of Joel describes a famine and devastation sent by God to wake the people up and bring them to repentance. It affected every aspect of life, from the livestock to the crops that made the offerings and worship practices possible. While Joel’s prophecy speaks to the people in his day, it also speaks to us in the present who are living in a very evil time. It also speaks of the future when divine retribution will be meted out on “the day of the Lord.” Although the circumstances described are very bleak, the message is of grace clear: there’s still time to turn back to God.

Life Lessons From the Prophet Elijah
Elijah was a messenger of God and the story of his own life of faith is a message for us today. During the evil rule of King Ahab and Jezebel, Elijah had great victories like defeating the priests of Baal and despite that victory he ran away in fear wanting to die soon after. Elijah was not perfect, but his devotion to God did not waver and when he faltered, God restored him and continued to use him. Elijah learned that God is not only in the incredible and powerful events, but He is in the small things revealed to us along the way. Elijah’s experiences teach that despite our failures; God will continue to work with us if we trust in Him. 1 Kings VF-2535 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Micah: God Has a Plan for the Future
Micah paints a prophetic portrait of Christ as eternal, everlasting, God incarnate, and ruler, both when He came in the flesh, and when He returns to rule over the whole earth in last days, at the end of time. Although the picture that Micah paints is one of doom and calamity, we should take comfort in the knowledge that God has a plan for the future, and heed Micah’s warning by putting away our false worship and turning back to God while we’re still living in a dispensation of God's forgiveness, mercy and grace.

God Will Establish His Kingdom on Earth
Micah juxtaposes the leaders during his time with the Lord of Hosts during the time God establishes His kingdom on earth. While there will be people that will resist the rule of Jesus Christ in His 1000-year reign, there will be people from many nations who will learn from Him and walk in His paths, regardless of their religious background. During Christ’s reign, there will be universal peace, universal religion, and universal prosperity. We can trust God. He will help us, and He will not forget us nor abandon His promises.

Micah: Setting People Straight
In Micah 3, the prophet focuses on the sins of the nation's leadership. The leaders oppressed the people and allowed lawlessness to run rampant. Though they had the power to turn back to righteousness and law, the leaders loved evil and abhorred judgment. In this, we see a reflection of the state of our own country today.

Idolatry and the Prophecies of Micah
The prophecies of Micah were addressed to a nation consumed with idolatry and false worship. This is not just a problem of the past, it’s been a problem since the beginning of time, and it’s reflective of the moral, social, and spiritual decline we’re seeing in America today. However, it’s not all gloom and doom. We’re at a turning point, and the prophecies of Micah give us tremendous hope for the future if we turn back to our Judeo-Christian moorings.

Complacency and the Departure from the Ways of God
Do not take your salvation for granted and get complacent lest you engage in spiritual pride. It takes vigilance to stay by the stuff. In the Old Testament the children of Israel drifted away repeatedly and much of the church in America today has departed from the ways of God, but there is still time to return to Him. He promises a new covenant in which He will put His law in our hearts and forgive our iniquity. To those who take Him at His word and trust Him, He will be merciful.

Election by Grace Is God’s Prerogative
A lesson from the Apostle Paul, as someone who once rejected Christ, shows us that we should not get puffed up in our calling as gentiles. God’s not done with the Jewish people, and we should not make the mistake of thinking we know who He’s going to save. The picture of election by grace shows us that it’s God’s prerogative to choose.
