Volume 5 4th Trailhead – 3rd Trail – 2nd Track – 1st Checkpoint

        We are now at the first checkpoint of Isaiah 6:9.  It is set in the context of God sending the prophet Isaiah to preach about the Messiah as recorded in Isaiah 6:8-13.

          Earlier, we have seen from John 12:41 that the prophet Isaiah saw the suffering and crucifixion of the Messiah.

Here in Isaiah 6:9, we see God sending the prophet Isaiah to go and tell Israel about the Messiah.  It reminds me of Matthew 28:19 where Jesus gave the same commission to believers to “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations”.

Thus, the essence of Isaiah 6:9 is:

“God sent Isaiah to preach the Messiah”.
