		<description><![CDATA[Introduction: In the first chapter of Isaiah, we encountered some shocking prophecies concerning Judah and Jerusalem, God&#8217;s chosen people for thousands of years. We discovered that, because Judah had been so rebellious, forsaking the God who had blessed her so richly, God was about to cast his people off, destroying them and avenging himself upon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction: Jonathan Edwards, in his beautifully Christ-centered biblical theology, A History of the Work of Redemption, argues that all of history was planned out by God for the purpose of accomplishing his mighty work of redemption.
