This third volume of the Isaiah Study picks up in Chapter 40 focusing on the portrait of Israel’s Messiah as her Suffering Servant. It is in chapter 40 that we are introduced to what would become the anthem of John the Baptist as his desert ministry heralded Israel’s Messiah-King. The cosmic King a servant? The Messianic hope engulfed in suffering? Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
