Isaiah 55 Research Paper

The authors present a chapter that proposes ways to pray for nonbelievers. This chapter is especially focused on praying for those individuals the witness may know to be searching but not ready to commit their lives to Jesus(p. 113).

We have to realize that there is only one way to God and that is threw Jesus. Without him we couldn’t be with God because we have sin but Jesus sacrificed himself and paid for our sin so that we can be with God for eternity. We have to accept Christ personally into our lives because if we don’t we go to hell but if we do we got with God in heaven

Although some might argue that the Christian faith’s start began as young Jesus of Nazareth was born, many accounts in the Old Testament say otherwise. The story of Christ was seen as a fulfillment of a story that the people of Israel had shared for generations. Besides the Book of Psalms, no Old Testament book alludes more to the coming of the Savior, the Son of God, than the book of Isaiah. The book of Isaiah combines all elements of the coming Messiah in his glory and agony, all of which was prophesied more than 700 years before his coming. The book of Isaiah was named after the prophet who we learn, in chapter 1, was the son of Amoz and was born around 773 BCE. In addition to his prophesies regarding the Messiah, Isaiah prophesied and wrote about the destruction and redemption of Israel, which would play an integral part in his book. When Christ visited the Nephites in the records of the Book of Mormon, he spoke a great deal quoting the words of Isaiah as he told the people in 3 Nephi chapter 20 that, the words of Isaiah would be fulfilled as Heavenly Father would gather his people and restore, redeem His covenant people of Israel. So why was there even a need for the redemption? What sins led the house of Israel for the need for a redemption? And what will the result of that redemption be?

“But someone will say, ‘You have faith, and I have works.’ Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the devils believe –and tremble! But do you want to know. O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” (James 2:18-20) A common belief among people today is that once a sinner believes in Jesus and recites a simple prayer, he is guaranteed salvation; however, the Bible teaches differently.

Though Isaiah’s life begins with what is depicted as unsurmountable odds, for instance he is born addicted to crack cocaine, his mother is an active drug abuser, their living conditions that are not conducive to raising and infant and neither are her parenting skills. Khaila is breastfeeding her child with breasts contaminated with the toxins of illegal narcotics. An infant’s nutritional needs are crucial to their development according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) because “the mother’s milk provides energy and fats with the child needs to promote healthy physical growth as well as lowers the chances of premature death as a result of sudden infant death syndrome” (as cited in Wong., Hall., & Hernandez, 2015, p. 72). Therefore,

The book of Isaiah has a lot of unique historical, social, and political factors to it. The prophet Isaiah prophesied during the reign of King Ahaz and Hezekiah (740-681 BC). Isaiah mainly worked during the reign of Hezekiah, However; his first narrative was under King Ahaz in 734-733 BC. In which, King Ahaz was dealing with crisis regarding foreign powers and was struggling on how to protect his people. One of main themes in the book of Isaiah is that not to trust in human power but instead one should trust in God. Isaiah prophesied under a very complicated social setting, Isaiah lived during a time of rapid corruption in the government of Israel. He preached that the government was not following God's covenant. He also preached to the people of Israel who rebelled against God’s covenant. The prophet Isaiah also guided the leaders of Israel during very tough political times.

Isaiah has now entered the room for his interview. He began his story with his love for writing and how he was unsatisfied with his work in his earlier years. Isaiah explained that after his encounter with God, everything changed for the better. Isaiah stated, “God has a reason for your encounter with Him” (Maxwell, 2014, p. 81). His encounter with God came after the king died. Isaiah caught a vision of God on His throne. He believed that he was ruined, because of his sinful ways. According to Isaiah, his first reaction when he saw God was awe, because of glory, his second reaction was fear, because of his sinful ways, and his third response was to serve him (as cited in John C. Maxwell, 2014,p.83). After Isaiah’s encounter with God, he changed

When Adam and Eve sinned against God we became separated from Him. Sin entered the world and all of us became sinners. Romans 3:23 says “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” The Devil’s goal was to separate us from our God and he thought he succeeded. God though had a different plan. God loved us so much that He sent His son to die so that we could be with Him. If we accept Christ into our hearts and lives then we are no longer separated from God. Just because we are no longer separated from God does not mean that we won't go through trials. There is still sin in the world so of course we will still go through trials. What it means is that God will be there with us every step of the way. We can not be righteous without Him. Romans 3:10 says “as it is

The book of Isaiah can actually be split into three parts and three distinct historical periods. Proto-Isaiah, the first thirty-nine chapter, takes place during the Assyrian crisis which occurred when Kings Sargon II and Shalmeseser V defeated the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The fall of the Northern Kingdom concerned most of the population in Israel as they could not comprehend how God would continue to fulfill His promises to them. However, God had a plan but, first he had to rid the nation of its sin and inequity, “There would be a purging of the nation because God is holy. Before the nation could inherit the promises made to the fathers, it would have to be made holy.” It is important to note that all throughout Proto-Isaiah the people are being condemned and judged for their sinful actions, this could explain why this portion of Isaiah is also known as “The Book of Judgement.” However, Deutero-Isaiah is next, chapters forty through sixty-six, and this portion is known as “The Book of Comfort” for a reason. This portion of Isaiah is set in the time of the Babylonian exile, where all of the people of God are still being punished for their sins as they work as slaves for the Babylonian people. However, God makes it clear in the very beginning of Isaiah 40 that the people have been forgiven and that his word remains true, they must continue to trust in Him. God speaks at the beginning of Isaiah forty with a message of peace by saying “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” (Isa 40:1 ESV). He continues on to speak on how the war will come to an end and the people will be forgiven. He then ends Isaiah forty by speaking on the permanence of God’s word, “…but the word of our God will stand forever” (Isa 40:8 ESV). All of Deutero-Isaiah takes after Isaiah 40:1-11 as God works to comfort his

When man calls upon God, putting his faith into God’s hands, man is involving himself in God’s eternal purpose. God’s eternal purpose was to bring many sons into his glory. The purpose for God calling many sons into his glory is so man will be prepared for the arrival God himself. God finds pleasure out of answering man’s prayer, it is man’s responsibility to seek God creating a relationship. When man prays to God and has faith within God, then he has entered God’s eternal purpose therefore man is saved. Man must approach God faithfully, if man doubts God, God will still be present in man’s life though man will not receive any of God’s grace. God believes in every man so man should have faith in God as

We must not look back or turn back longing after the things that are not of God; because it will only lead to destruction! We must not miss the boat that’s sailing by because we were standing on the shore not where we needed to be in order to catch it as it began to set sail! If we are not where we need to be in God when God does return, we will simply be left behind and lost for all eternity from God! We all breathe separately and we all will be judged separately! Therefore, we can’t take anyone along with us to heaven. We must seek and serve God for ourselves to have personal salvation with the Lord. We must have a made up mind to be with the Lord because full devotion and full determination is what it takes to stay with the Lord. Therefore, we don’t have all the time in the World to make up our mind to follow after

I decided to actually look at chapters 64 and 65 of Isaiah because they are linked. My question for chapter sixty-four is how did people in that time keep their faith of the second coming happening? In the first verse it starts out that they talk about how that they would wish that the Lord would come down from the heavens to save them. They also want the Lord to make himself known unto their adversaries so that they will tremble at His presence. They then talk about how the first time that the Lord came they were not looking for the signs that the lord was giving so they missed out on that opportunity.

The prophet Jeremiah lived during the most critical period of Judah's existence. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem. God’s declared that my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Therefore, I will, I cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets in Jerusalem, the voice in gladness and the voice in joy for the land shall become a desert. Jeremiah had continually warned God’s people to mend their ways before it was too late. And when the devastation finally overwhelmed Israel, he was the one who mourned Israel's terrible fate.

This is a really good question to ask yourself, Why do I believe what I believe? I believe what I believe, because I know that God is the truth, I know this because the Bible has proven over and over to be true. God gave the gift of communication so that we can have the ability to communicate with God and to share the love of God to other people. Having a role model is part of growing up, but having a role model that has a positive attitude is very hard to find. Isaiah 6 talks about role models and the right one to have.

James urges us in verse 6 to ask God for things in faith and without doubt. Today, I think it especially hard to not doubt when all around us people seem to be continually letting us down. As Christians, we need to realize that God
