Isaiah, Part 101 | Wisdom Corrupted by Beauty

Author: Dr. James Tour March 8, 2026 Duration: 37:00
Dr. James Tour expounds on Isaiah 45, focusing on how pride—symbolized by Satan’s fall from beauty—corrupts wisdom and leads to hardship, and explores Isaiah 45:18’s implication that God created the earth with purpose rather than as a waste, which ties into the “gap theory” interpretation between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
