I attended a few of his first public lectures on Isaiah in 1991, and have known him for years. I have all of his published works in print and the electronic texts of them. I also have mp3s of his Isaiah Commentary, The End from the Beginning, and The Last Days.Lizzy60 wrote:^^^^^^ I would start with Isaiah Decoded, and also listen to his audio commentary -- a verse-by-verse commentary of Isaiah found on his website, Isaiah Explained (iirc).
I've read most of his books, and listened to the entire commentary numerous times. He is more correct than most LDS commentators on Isaiah. My favorites of his books are Isaiah Decoded and The Last Days.
Fwiw, I started listening to Avraham's commentary in 2005, on borrowed cassette tapes. Then I upgraded to his MP3 edition downloaded to my iPod. It's a huge blessing that it's now available on the internet.
I believe he sees the Estates in Isaiah, preferring to think you can make those ascensions in one life time, whereas I disagree with him on this interpretation.
Also, he sees the Davidic Servant/King as a catch all for all the servants depicted in Isaiah, whereas I know this to not be true. We are coming to the point in the end time where it will not matter what each others ideas are, as they will be found before us.
