For Barry Webb, reading the book of the prophet Isaiah is like the flight of an eagle. In each ascent or each turn of the flight of this great bird unfolds the majesty and glory of its Creator. But is “flying” like that possible for us? Isaiah answers: yes! On condition of “hoping in the Lord”, believing in his promises: he wants to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Those who hope in the Lord “soar like eagles.”
With these 30 days of daily meditations, readers are invited to soar into the heavens and see the glory of God, then look at the world with renewed eyes. As the days go by, their conscience will be refined and their certainty will grow: there is no obstacle to our communion with God nor to the full accomplishment of what he has planned for us. Such a trip is not reserved for a privileged few: Christians, Bible study and prayer groups, and even Churches, will benefit from these special moments, in their busy calendars, to refocus and draw closer to the Lord .
A full-time professor of Old Testament for many years at Moore Theological College, in Sydney, where he continues to teach part-time, Barry Webb now devotes himself more particularly to writing. In addition to his commentary on Isaiah ( The message of Isaiah , published by Grace and Truth), he is the author in particular of a commentary on the book of the prophet Zechariah, and more recently on the book of Judges, pending the release of his commentary on Job.
