BIBLE READING PLANNER

God sent His prophets to Israel and Judah to try to turn them from idolatry and false religion. But 'they mocked the messengers of God . . . until there was no remedy' (2 Chronicles 36:16).

ISAIAH prophesied and spoke the word of God during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, when Judah was surrounded by the Assyrians. He made known many wonderful promises concerning Jesus the promised Messiah and the future Kingdom of God on earth.
