Read Isaiah Chapter 33 Summary

Woe to the destroyer (Assyria) who has not been destroyed; when he finishes destroying, he shall be destroyed. God is exalted and fills Zion with justice; sinners in Zion tremble, asking who can dwell with consuming fire. The righteous see the king in his beauty; Jerusalem is a quiet habitation where the LORD is judge, lawgiver, king, and savior.

The Longest Prophetic Book

Isaiah contains 66 chapters, making it the longest of the prophetic books. Often called 'the fifth Gospel,' it includes more messianic prophecies than any other Old Testament book, vividly describing Christ's suffering in chapter 53 some 700 years before His birth.
