Isaiah, Part 101 | Wisdom Corrupted by Beauty

About this episode

Dr. James Tour discusses how pride corrupts wisdom and the purpose of creation as described in Isaiah 45.

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.
