Scene Opens
Narrator: We have a number of interesting persons visiting with us today that we are eager for you to meet.
(Abraham enters.)
Abraham: Hello there.
Narrator: Hello, sir. Are you what they call a prophet?
Abraham: Well, technically, no. My name is Abraham. I’m more what you would call a Patriarch.
Narrator: A Patriarch? What is that?
Abraham: Yes, a Patriarch. Actually, THE Patriarch.
Narrator: The Patriarch?
Abraham: Yes, you see, God has chosen me to be the father of a great people. He has promised me that my descendants will be His chosen people.
Narrator: You will be the father of God’s people?
Abraham: Yes. As numerous as the stars in the sky.
Narrator: No kidding.
Abraham: Descendants more plentiful than all the grains of sand in the desert.
Narrator: Amazing. Abraham, sir, you seem quite—um—mature. How many children do you have so far?
Abraham: Well, actually none.
Narrator: None?
Abraham: No. It hasn’t happened yet. But I trust God’s promise. It will, it will.
(Abraham exits.)
Narrator: That was interesting. Here is another fellow.
(Isaiah enters.)
Narrator: Sir, are you also a Patriarch?
Isaiah: No, I don’t think of myself that way. God has chosen me, Isaiah, to be His prophet.
Narrator: So you are a prophet. Isaiah, what do prophets do?
Isaiah: We do what God commands us to do. Mostly, we convey God’s word to stubborn leaders who don’t want to hear it.
Narrator: That sounds like a tough job.
Isaiah: It is. But it’s going to be a lot tougher on those who don’t listen to what God is telling them. There are bad days ahead.
Narrator: That doesn’t sound good.
Isaiah: No. But there is good news, too. There is great news! One is coming who will straighten all this out. He will make the rough places plain.
Narrator: Really? Who?
Isaiah: He will be called King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace!
Narrator: When? Where? Is he here?
Isaiah: No. It hasn’t happened yet. . . But it will! Hallelujah! It will!
