4: Wittgenstein's Monster (The Book of Isaiah‪)‬ Apocrypals

"Woe to those that are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight." -- Isaiah 5:21
Isaiah, the biggest beefiest boy of all the prophets, steps into the spotlight to put our very premise to the test. Can we actually do an episode when there's no real narrative and about 66 chapters of prophecies that require a 45-minute history lesson? U-DECIDE! We dive in for some complicated context, check out the most quotable book of the Bible, and at long last, start runnin' with the devil.
