Isaiah 11 Commentary

Isaiah 11 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com A good teacher uses many examples to explain one point.

Isaiah 7 Commentary

Isaiah 7 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com The message has been that of judgment against Jerusalem. But chapter 7 is different.

Isaiah 6 Commentary

Isaiah 6 Commentary http://www.lovingscripture.com In the Amplified Bible, chapter 6 is titled “Isaiah’s Vision”. We think the NIV Bible has a more palatable title: Isaiah’s Commission.
