ISAIAH SPEAKS OF GOD’S OTHERNESS , and his distinct purposes, throughout all sixty-six chapters of his prophecies. He touches very briefly on the distinctions of God’s methods in a verse tucked mid-way through the Book of Isaiah: There are times when God will “rise up to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task.” (Isa. 28:21b) Throughout the scriptures, from walking in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (cf. Gen. 3:8), to Joshua’s encounter with the angel of the Lord (cf. Josh. 5:13), on to Paul’s encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road (cf. Acts 9:3-7), or with the angel of the Lord freeing Peter from jail (cf. Acts 12:7), there is evidence of God breaking into human history for his unique purposes as he alters men’s and mankind’s destiny.
