BST: The Message of Isaiah

On Eagles' Wings.
The book of Isaiah is outstanding in its brilliance of style, its poetic power,
and its foretaste of the hope of the gospel. It tells us how God himself has
provided the highway to holiness for those who have been 'redeemed' or
'ransomed'. These are images which evoke the Exodus from Egypt, and foreshadow
Christ's achievement at the cross. There is tangible joy for the reader in
Isaiah's portrayal of judgment - rebuilding within the demolition, the new
replacing the old. In Isaiah's masterpiece, both national and world events
reveal God's hand, and its good news is the very hope of the world.
Webb invites his readers to see Isaiah's compelling vision of God's glory, and
the wonder of access to him. Writing this book, for him, was an unforgettable
flight: 'I have soared like an eagle into the heavens and seen the glory of
God, and with new eyes I have seen the world and my place in it.' (= 0830812407
