"Since Isaiah’s message was directed to a sixth-century
audience on the verge of national crisis, it only indirectly relates to people
today. The key that enables the modern reader to discover an indirect relevance
come from (a) understanding the meaning of the prophet’s message to his
audience, (b) developing broad theological principles from these specific
incidents and teaching, and (c) finding analogies between the Old Testament
theological teaching and the modern world today.”
