Isaiah Part 3 - TheologyCommons/Bible.Outline GitHub Wiki

Isaiah tells of the future judgment of all peoples and the future blessing of God's people.

ISAIAH 24-25

Isaiah prophesies universal judgment and God's ultimate triumph over evil.

THE COMING GREAT TRIBULATION (24:1-13, 16b-22):

While the immediate context here may refer to the devastation of Judah following the Babylonian captivity, it would seem to have its ultimate fulfillment during the Great Tribulation.

The Great Tribulation-what it is (24:1-4, 6-13, 16b-22)

God himself will lay waste to the entire earth (24:1):

The earth will become a great wasteland, and the people will be scattered.

All people and fallen angels will be judged (24:2-4, 21-22):

No one will be spared from God's wrath, and the fallen angels will be put in prison.

Very few will survive (24:6):

A curse will consume the earth and its people, who will be destroyed by fire.

Happiness will no longer exist (24:7-13):

All joy in life will be gone.

Evil and treachery will be everywhere (24:16b-18):

People possessed by sheer terror will flee from one danger only to be confronted with something even more horrifying.

The earth will stagger like a drunkard (24:19-20):

It will fall and collapse like a tent, unable to rise again because of the weight of its sins.

The Great Tribulation-why it occurs (24:5):

Humanity has twisted the laws of God and has broken his holy commands.

THE COMING GLORIOUS MILLENNIUM (24:14-16a, 23; 25:1-12)

The promise (24:14-16a, 23)

Joy and singing will fill the earth (24:14-16a):

The people will shout and sing for joy, declaring God's majesty.

God's glory will outshine the sun (24:23):

He will rule gloriously from Jerusalem.

The praises (25:1-12):

Isaiah now worships and exalts God for the following:

His faithfulness (25:1):

God promises wonderful things, and he accomplishes them.

His salvation of the Gentiles (25:2-3):

Strong nations will declare his glory, and ruthless nations will adore him.

His mercy (25:4-5):

He is kind to the poor and needy.

His provision (25:6-7):

He will spread a feast for everyone and will remove the cloud of gloom hanging over the earth.

His victory over death (25:8):

He will swallow up death forever.

His restoration of Israel (25:9):

Israel will rejoice in his salvation.

His judgment of his enemies (25:10-12):

God will destroy the Moabites and will end their evil works.

ISAIAH 26-27

These chapters, recorded in the lyrics of two songs, contain Isaiah's messages of God's ultimate exaltation of Israel.

STANZA ONE-ISRAEL'S SAVIOR (26:1-15):

This part of the song will be sung as Israel's testimony to God during the Millennium. It will do three things:

Thank God for his strength and peace (26:1-6)

Thank God for his righteous judgment (26:7-11)

Thank God for his uniqueness (26:12-15):

He alone, unlike the dead idols Israel once worshiped, is the true and only God.

STANZA TWO-ISRAEL'S SUFFERING (26:16-18; 27:7-11):

It will speak of two things:

The sin (26:16; 27:7-11):

God himself allows Israel's suffering as punishment for sin.

The symbol (26:17-18):

Israel suffers as a woman giving birth.

STANZA THREE-ISRAEL'S SALVATION (26:19; 27:12-13):

Israel will experience two things:

Resurrection from the dead (26:19)

Restoration to the land (27:12-13)

STANZA FOUR-ISRAEL'S SECURITY (Isaiah 26:20-21; 27:1-6):

Israel will enjoy two things:

Protection during the Great Tribulation (Isaiah 26:20-21; 27:1)

Productivity during the glorious Millennium (Isaiah 27:2-6)
