Summarized Bible Commentary

Isaiah 1:1-31

Contents: Charge against Israel for their ingratitude and degeneration. Call to repentance and reformation.

Characters: God, Isaiah.

Conclusion: The backslidings of those who have professed relations to God are very provoking to Him and all departures from Him and opposition to Him are aggravated by the constant manifestation of His goodness and mercy toward the backslider. Those who will break off their allegiance with sin are always welcome to come back to fellowship with Him.

Key Word: Sinsick, Isaiah 1:5.

Strong Verses: Isaiah 1:18.

Striking Facts: Isaiah 1:11. The costly devotions of those who have not apprehended Christ, He of whom the sacrifices were but a faint shadowing, are I an abomination to God. The ceremonial observances were all done away by the death of Christ.
