The Exodus way is a path to freedom, out of slavery, through the wilderness, and into inheritance. Isaiah prophesies about a time when the land will be at peace and God himself must make the way, calling for repentance and a change of heart.
  • The Exodus way consists of the road out of slavery, the wilderness journey, and the road into the promised land.
  • Isaiah prophesies a future time of peace and a final road when all humans and creatures will intimately know Yahweh.
  • The highway through the wilderness requires a change of heart and repentance to deal with injustice within Israel.

Shownotes Transcript

The Exodus Way E6 — By the time of the prophet Isaiah, the Assyrian Empire had already exiled the northern kingdom of Israel. Isaiah prophesied that the southern kingdom of Judah would survive Assyrian attack but that a new empire, Babylon, would one day take Judah into exile because of their injustice and idolatry. Within this world of empires, oppressors, and exiles, Isaiah prophesied about a more cosmic, permanent Exodus to come for God’s people. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the narrative beats of Exodus in Isaiah and how his prophetic images inspired the gospel writers.
