Rev. Carl Roth

Rev. Carl Roth, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church and monthly contributor to the Lutheran Witness, discusses Isaiah 65-66's vision of the new heavens and earth. He explores the prophetic perspective connecting the Old and New Testaments, emphasizing God's creative act in the new creation. Roth also contrasts comforting promises with warnings of judgment. He ties these themes to Advent and calls for watchfulness, inviting listeners to reflect on their hope and the reality of final redemption through faith and baptism.
