2. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH You’ve Broken My Heart God’s Message To Israel & Judah Isaiah Has 66 Chapters 1-39 Judgments Against Judah & Israel 40-66 Comfort For Righteous Bible Outline In One Book?? Isaiah 6:8-13 Central Passage To Message & Promise Isaiah: “Salvation of God” “they were sawn in two…(men of whom the world was not worthy)” Hebrews 11:37

Trapped By Unnatural Affection Isaiah 1:2-3 God Treated Like A Father: Providing Abundantly For Them 1Chronicles 29:10 Hosea 11:1-2 Donkeys & Oxen Understand Who Their Master Is… But Not Judah & Jerusalem Returned Love & Concern With Unfaithfulness & Rebellion Ingrates.

4. Regression As Opposed To Progression Isaiah 1:4-9 They Had Gone Backwards… Turned Their Back On God Jeremiah 5:3 Hardened Like Flint Hosea 6:6 God Desires More Joshua 1:4-9, 21:43-45, 23:14 God Did Exactly As He Promised… For Whatever Reason They Opted Not To Learn From Past Attitudes & Actions Regressed To Religious Apathy: Going Through Motions Than Mere Rote Worship

Cold, Lifeless Matthew 23:2ff John 4:23-24 Isaiah 1:16-20 What God Desires… Converted Heart Pure, Enduring Heart True Love For One Another “Come now, and let us reason together says the Lord…If you consent and obey, you will eat the best of the land. But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” THE CHOICE REMAINS THE SAME FOR US TODAY…
