This week we'll finish reading the book of Isaiah and starting with the book of the prophet Jeremiah:
* Weekend: Isaiah 49 - 52
* Monday: Isaiah 53 - 57
* Tuesday: Isaiah 58 - 62
* Wednesday: Isaiah 63 - 66
* Thursday: Jeremiah 1 - 6
* Friday : Jeremiah 7 - 10
As you finish reading Isaiah, continue to look for prophesies regarding the "Servant of the Lord", which are all pointing to Jesus. In addtion, these last chapters contain many prophesies regarding the restoration of Israel and regarding the end-times when Jesus will come back and establish His kingdom of peace. Some prophesies even refer to the very end, when God will establish a 'New heaven and new earth' (Isaiah 65). 'New' does not necessarily mean 'completely created from scratch', but rather 'restored', 'remodeled'. God is not going to let down his first creation, but rather restore it and make it whole and perfect.
The prophet Jeremiah is a very interesting book as it describes the personal life and struggles of Jeremiah in greater depth and detail than any other old-testament prophet. More on him next week!
Let us know how you are doing with the reading. Is it a struggle to keep up? I know it is for me from time to time. It is not easy to consistently read every day for 20 minutes or so. If you miss a day, you have to do 40 minutes the next day, etc. Let us know where you're at, either through the blog or by e-mail.
In His service,
Dick
