The Lord Roars | Dr. Daniel Carroll Rodas Bible Study S2E4 (February 2024)

One of this generation's foremost Old Testament scholars, Dr. Daniel Carroll Rodas, led this Bible study for Anglican leaders, from three different countries in four different time zones, on behalf of the Matthew 25 Initiative. This study aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of a biblical vision for justice and mercy. The question of biblical ethics is unpacked with a specific emphasis on “how are the people of God to engage society? how does theology interact with social structures from a biblical perspective?"
In this Bible study, Dr. Carroll discusses setting the stage for prophetic hope in the book of Isaiah. The discussion emphasizes the contrast between the destructive forces of the world and the promised restoration and harmony.
Diverse perspectives on eschatology are discussed, as well as the relevance of the present in understanding the future.
The study delves into Isaiah's visions, contrasting corrupt rulers with the hope of a future divine king.
The envisioned king is described as embodying wisdom, justice, and peace, bringing about a transformative era.
People often mistake patterns in current events (like the Black Plague and World Wars) for signs of the end.
