The easiest step of all! YAY!
The second step in the second part of the Inductive Method (Concentration) is Key Verse. What do you think is the key verse of this passage? What verse packs the most punch or summarizes the main point of the passage? Why?
You may not all have the same answer, but that's ok.
Post by Thursday midnight. Since this is an easy assignment, if you are behind in the other steps, this is a good chance to catch up.
Looking forward to your posts!

Key Verse
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 43
18 "Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
The Past, Present and Future are all addressed, the eras in which God acts:
Remember- referencing past
Behold, I am doing—referencing the present
I will make a way—referencing the future
*God is not limited in time/ geography/ or in action—key principle driving the main address to Israel.

ReplyDeletein my view, the key verse is verse 19:
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Good work guys!

My opinion (and it is only an opinion) is that the Key Verse is 18-19a. Mainly because it is the pivot point of the chiasm (we'll talk about this tomorrow), but also because it is the topic sentence of God's speech. I feel that what follows in this passage is describing the "new thing" that God is doing or going to do.
