Reflection questions:

1. Some think Isaiah 14:1-2 is a preview of Isaiah 40-66. Read Isaiah 40. What themes do you see from Is 14:1-2 that are reflected in this chapter?

2. Who do you think of when you read Is 14:12-15? (Compare and contrast with Revelation 12:8-12) What God-opposing sins do you see in this passage? Can you see the seeds of those sins in your own heart at times? (Robert Murray McCheyne: “The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart.”)

3. Read Isaiah 14:30a, 32. How are these verses comforting? Compare to Revelation 21:3-4; 22:1-5.
