The Quest on the Book of Isaiah

Hope of the Coming King

Sunday July 19, 2026 - Pastor Wungreiso Valui

Isaiah 13-19

MAIN POINT

Our hope is in the coming King whose reign is marked by mercy, truth, justice, and righteousness

The Story of Isaiah 13-19 mainly describes God's judgment over proud nations-Babylon, Assyria, Moab, Damascus, Cush, and Egypt. In Isaiah 16:5, we find a ray of hope that stands out as a bright promise amid judgment. What is that hope? A righteous King from David's family will establish His throne.
