Isaiah. Most of us have seen movie scenes in which something is happening and we don't get the enormity of it until the camera pulls back. I think about the scene in which Tom Hanks' character in "Castaway" is rescued. He is lying there, wasting away on his raft. Suddenly, he is dwarfed by a huge ship right next to him.
Those were my thoughts as I read these opening chapters of Isaiah's prophecy. We have been reading for days about the sins of Israel and her kings. We have read multiple times about the pride in the hearts of Judah's kings and the judgment upon that pride. Then...suddenly...God speaks through Isaiah and tells His view of it all and what He is about to do.
