During the Advent season I read the book of Isaiah. It's such a perfect book for the season! I read Warren Wiersbe's book, Be Comforted, along side the book of Isaiah. It is an easy to read and understand commentary. Wiersbe dudes a great job of showing how the prophecies in Isaiah are complex and multilayered. Some were fulfilled in his day or soon after. Some were fulfilled in Jesus' coming. Some will be fulfilled at his second Advent. Some have been partially filled but will be fully filled later. This book also helped me consider: do I look forward to Jesus' second Advent with as much hope, anticipation, and comfort as the faithful Jews looked forward to his first Advent?
