Show Notes

This week on The Study Podcast, Dr. Wegner and host Tyler Sanders complete the palistrophe that begins in Isaiah chapter 5 and ends with chapter 12. Together they talk through chapter 8 and the beginning of chapter 9, covering topics like the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, Israel misplacing their fear onto Assyria instead of God, and the instructions Israel receives to bind and seal up the testimony until after the prophecy had been fulfilled as a kind of proof of Isaiah's status as a prophet.
