  3. Christian prophetic themes in Isaiah What are some Christian themes in Isaiah? • What applied in Isaiah’s specific moment in history also applies more generally over all human history: humans have turned from God and are in need of redemption • A rebellious and sinful people, we have rejected God and His laws; • Our world, our existence, has been affected by our sinfulness and we suffer from it; • Our feeble efforts to appease God are self-serving and hypocritical • God desires for us to set things right with Him, and they will be if we turn to Him • God will redeem us from our terrible situation, and already is doing so in Christ • God brings/will bring a day of peace, the end of death, the end of suffering • The Servant of God redeems us through His suffering, and despite his horrible appearance, will save us.
