I just finished reading chapters 24-25 in Isaiah. It is really quite amazing this section of the parallels the book of revelation so closely. Seven to eight hundred before John wrote Revelation God had reveled his plans to men. Specifically:
- Judgement of nations and tribulation
- Conquest by Assyria
- The promise of salvation and Jesus
- Victory of God in the millennial kingdom
- God’s subdues and punished His enemies
The striking thing is that the prophecies that came to pass were literally fulfilled. We should expect a literal fulfillment of the prophecies that still await fulfillment.
