Sketch and Overview of Isaiah 28-33, 2016

The Foolishness of Trusting the Nations (Isaiah 28-35). John Oswalt's overview.

• Isaiah 28-29: Bad leadership. Human rulers implementing human rules. Leaders are drunken, blind and deaf to God's word.
• Isaiah 30-31: Bad solution/advice/decision. Trusting in Egypt, instead of God.
• Isaiah 32-33: Good leadership/government. When the Messiah reigns and rules.
• Isaiah 34-35: Conclusion of Isaiah 28-33 (13-33): A desert (Isaiah 34) or a garden (Isaiah 35).
