“When I see the blood, I will pass over you.”
Why is the Key Event from the story of Moses missing from the Qur’an? Anyone who reads the Qur’an will notice the emphasis that is placed upon Moses. Out of all the characters identified as prophets by the Qur’an, Moses (or Musa) is by far the most often referred to. In fact, it takes the…

Isaiah 9
Section 2c: After the darkness there is light and the promise of a ‘child born’ and ‘son given’ who shall victoriously establish His kingdom. Then contrasted with the glorious person of the Messiah is a fourfold judgement upon Israel and their leaders.
Isaiah 8
Section 2b: Another few years have passed from chapter 7, and the LORD speaks to Isaiah on three more occasions. It’s sad to see the hardness and rebellion of the people despite the goodness and grace of the LORD.
Isaiah 7
Immanuel – God With Us Section 2a: We move from the year that king Uzziah died in 740BC to the beginning of the reign of Ahaz 736BC. Jerusalem is being threatened by a coalition from both Syria and Israel, but Isaiah is able to give Ahaz a message of hope and encouragement. Would Ahaz trust…
