    Isaiah 1-12 Shakespeare of the Old Testament | Handmaidens, Harems, Heroines I Lynne Hilton Wilson

    Join Lynne Hilton Wilson for another fascinating episode of Women in the Old Testament as she explores Isaiah chapters 1–12, some of the most beautiful, powerful, and influential passages in all of scripture.Often called the “Shakespeare of the Old Testament,” Isaiah is a master of language, poetry, imagery, and prophecy. His words move from warnings and judgments to soaring visions of hope, redemption, peace, and the coming of the Messiah. In these chapters, Isaiah paints unforgettable pictures of the Lord's mission and the future restoration of Israel.Lynne explores these remarkable chapters with special attention to the connections between Isaiah and the Book of Mormon. No other ancient record helps illuminate Isaiah quite like the Book of Mormon, where Isaiah's prophecies are quoted, explained, and applied by prophets who testify of Jesus Christ. From Nephi's powerful teachings to later Book of Mormon prophets, these scriptures help us see why Isaiah's words were so important—and why they continue to speak to disciples of Christ today.Together, we'll examine Isaiah's extraordinary prophecies of the Messiah, including the promised Immanuel, the divine Child who would be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace, and the prophetic vision of a world transformed by the reign of Jesus Christ.What do these ancient prophecies teach us about the Savior? Why did Book of Mormon prophets treasure and repeatedly quote Isaiah? And how can understanding Isaiah's poetic language help us better recognize the message of Christ woven throughout the Old Testament?Join Lynne Hilton Wilson as we begin an unforgettable journey through the words of Isaiah—the Shakespeare of the Old Testament—and discover the beauty, power, and testimony of Jesus Christ found in Isaiah chapters 1–12.#WomenInTheOldTestament #LynneHiltonWilson #Isaiah #BookOfMormon #JesusChrist #OldTestament #Messiah #ScriptureStudy #IsaiahProphecies
