Importance Of Trust Brings Strength : Isaiah 40

Isaiah 58:6-14 is a very powerful passage. The first bible version that I read it in was the King James Version. That version didn't really make very much sense to me because of all the "thou's" and "thee's" and "thines". So then I looked it up again in the New Revised Standard Version. It was a lot clearer when I looked it up in that bible. There are a few similarities and differences from the different versions that I read. The two that stood out the most to me was the King James Version, and the New Revised Standard Version. The differences were like night and day. Probably because they were the first two that I read, and maybe because the King James Version, like I said earlier, has a lot of the "1800's language," like "thou"

The prophet Isaiah played an important role in the development and expression of Judaism as a dynamic, living religion through the impact of his works. The impact of Isaiah is evident in both the development and expression of Judaism both in his time and in modern society, as his teachings, for the Jewish people, prove to be relevant to the times. Considered among Jews as one of the greatest prophets, Isaiah has contributed to and affected the life of adherents in the Jewish faith through his political and religious influence, his prophetic messages concerning

From a historical and geographical perspective, the book of Isaiah is an accurate representation. A lot of what has been found through archeology supports the events in the book. The book of Isaiah focuses on the south kingdom of Judah. During the book, the North Kingdom is in the process of its down fall. The book of Isaiah gives us insight into the minds of the southern kings at the time. Thus, we are able to see the historical context of how the south eventually fell.

Isaiah's commission begins with Isaiah protesting that he is not worthy to see the Lord. He recognizes that he has seen the Lord and worries about the consequences to him because of this sight. "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips,and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty" (Isaiah 6:5). Likewise, Jeremiah protests that he is not worthy after the Lord appoints him as a prophet. Jeremiah says, "Alas, Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am too young" (Jeremiah 1:6). These two quotes reveal that both Isaiah and Jeremiah did not believe that they were worthy of seeing the Lord and being His prophet.

Isaiah takes the time to describe the beings that surround the King. He says (Verse2)

Jesus encourages the people to search the words of isaiah and the other prophets and encourages them to ponder and ask the lord to help understand them. He also tells about how his servant Samuel the Lamanite helped with his words concerning the resurrection and Jesus asks Nephi to add them to the records.

Isaiah prophesized that people should obey and trust in the Lord. God trusted that Isaiah would inform people that He was with them and that His love endures forever. In Isaiah Chapter 65-66, god revealed himself to simmers. He said they would be judged both for good and evil. God just wanted the people to be obedient. “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.” God is admirable because He once again was giving people another chance. “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me, declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendents endure.” Isaiah 66:22. God is to be admired in that in Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6. God prophesized though Isaiah about the birth of a boy who would be great. God through Isaiah offers future hope for the nation of Israel. Jesus would be the difference between light and darkness, life and death. Anyone who offers hope of a better future is a person who we would look up to and respect and that is God. God is always admirable in everything that I have known him to do. He protects us as we are his children. He is hard on us sometimes, but is always loving towards us. God is to be respected because he wanted his people to be obedient and live holy. He judged but he has never given up and always gives us chances to repent. We are his creation, though a work in progress. God has a plan for us and just tries

The leaders of Israel were struggling to maintain power due to its neighbors. The prophet Isaiah guided Hezekiah by preaching that he should place his trust in God and not Assyrian alliance. However, King Hezekiah was not consistent with his trust in God, which later resulted in the fall of reign. The book of Isaiah can be broken down into three sections. Chapters 1 to 39 represent the call of judgement for the city of Jerusalem. Chapters 40 to 55 represent the prophet Isaiah in exile, and chapters 56 to 66 represent the return from exile to a new Jerusalem. Each section highlights a part of Isaiah’s

Isaiah’s terminology when describing God as “The Holy One of Israel”, not only shows reverence by admission of God’s holiness, but also emphasizes the point of the great offenses that the Israelite nation committed against God. As a holy God, he cannot allow sin in his presence, and therefore, must bring effect to the cause. With God’s ultimate goal of reconciliation, punishment is used to its effect while the Servant’s main role was making it available to the people.

It does more than just demonstrate that the person and work of Jesus the Messiah are predicted in this text. In fact, there are three ways which this Scripture has and will continue to be used in Jewish evangelism. The first way is that Isaiah 53 does indeed present the details of the atonement, and it is through this text that we understand much of what occurs at the Cross. The chapter describes our sin and need for atonement than any other passage in the bible.

The book of Isaiah provides a message to the nation of Israel and is one of the most powerful books of prophecy in the Bible. The prophet spoke of events to come that many have attempted to discern. Scholars, Rabbis and Christian Clergy differ in their interpretations of these passages in Isaiah 52 and 53.

What is trust and what does it mean to you? There are many types of trust and an extensive variety of characterizing elements reliant on the individual. To me, trust is having faith in another to clutch what you trust in them about, believing in their reliability, and relying on their support.

Isaiah came during a pivotal time in history. The world was changing rapidly and life was on the edge of prosperity and ruin, as it is today. In this uncertain time Isaiah was called by God to deliver a message of warning, comfort, and deliverance. Christians view the prophecies of Isaiah as a projection of the coming of Jesus Christ. Isaiah spoke of divine judgment and the promises of God through the Prince of Peace. Isaiah’s message of the future King was very meticulous. He describes how Christ will come, Christ’s character and Christ’s purpose. In this paper I will dissect Isaiah’s prophecies in the Old Testament and reference them to the events of Christ in the New Testament.

Although there are many likenesses in the books of Isaiah and Micah, there are also differences as well. Comparing the prophets themselves, reveal that although they preached during the same time period in history, and their messages had similarities, they were not always in agreement of the end result (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). From Micah’s perspective in the first chapters of the book of Micah, he did not foresee a future for Jerusalem (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). He proclaimed that due to the sins of the leaders of Jerusalem, the city was doomed to fall and that trees would grow where houses stand (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Contrary to this, Isaiah’s message was that Jerusalem would not be taken by the armies of Sennacherib (Tullock

Thus, the historical and political setting for Isaiah 40-66 could be spread across the rule of three dominant nations, Assyria, Babylon, and Persia. Boadt notes that while the theme of Deutero-Isaiah was Consolation, the overall theme of the book centered on God as the Holy One of Israel; foreign rule was God’s disciplinary tool, and God’s makes Zion the Divine dwelling place. (Boadt 1984, 417)
