Binding: hardcover

Section: Christianity-General

Subtitle: An Appreciation of Isaiah Chapters 24-27

Chapters 24-27 of Isaiah have been described as his 'Tale of Two Cities.' Like Charles Dickens' well-known novel, they speak of a terrifying urban convulsion which has widespread reverberations. Isaiah 24-27 is a magnificent display of 'the Day of the Lord' in judgment and salvation, and also of godly rejoicing and waiting for it in dark days. It comports with 'the already and not yet' of Christian living, and so Christians should find strength and comfort in these chapters as they look forward and upward to the Lord's return and 'the new world' that God has promised.
