Isaiah Chapter 10

This paper will discuss the Babylonian captivity, a major event from the history of Israel from the creation of Israel to its Statehood in 1948. This event will be discussed, from a historical as well as biblical perspective, what happened to the nation of Israel, how this event impacted the surrounding nations, as well as God’s hand in the event guiding the nation of Israel and His ultimate purpose through the event.

Joseph began his life as the favorite son of Jacob who tended to the flocks as a shepherd.3 These humble beginnings foreshadow how one day Joseph will tend to the Seed of the Woman during times of famine in the land by giving food to this eleven brothers. Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, had eleven other sons who were jealous of the special attention that Joseph received. In fact, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.4 Joseph had a dream that predicted that Joseph would one day reign over his older brothers. This upset his brothers and they tricked Joseph by selling him into slavery. Joseph was then taken to Egypt where he was sold to Potiphar and became a servant in

She was very upset with Joseph that she lied to him and Potiphar had Joseph put in jail. While being in jail for several years, God was still with Joseph. During this time he was having dream interpretations. When Egyptian Pharaoh began to become troubled by a reoccurring dream it was then remembered that Joseph could interpret

Isaiah 52:13- 53:12 is widely known as the fourth Servant poem found in the book of Isaiah. Chapters 52 and 53 are found in what is labeled by many scholars to be ‘Second Isaiah’. The majority of Biblical scholars split Isaiah into three different sections: First Isaiah (1-39), Second Isaiah (40-55), and Third Isaiah (56-66). The fourth Servant poem is sometimes referred to as the “suffering servant” passage, and it is the topic of many theological debates. The over-arching question that surrounds this controversial passage is this, who is the suffering servant? The research that follows delves into the fourth Servant poem in such a way as to uncover what

The book of Isaiah had been studied through different approaches of which three are quite distinctive[1].

“This chapter foretells the sufferings of the Messiah, the end for which he was to die, and the advantages resulting to mankind from that illustrious event . . . This chapter contains a beautiful summary of the most peculiar and distinguishing doctrines of Christianity.” (Adam Clarke). It is mentioned to in all four gospels (Matthew 8:17; Mark 15:28; Luke 22:37; John 12:37-38) and in Acts (Philip and the Ethiopian, 8:32-35), Romans (10:16); and 1 Peter 2:21-25. In this chapter, specific descriptions concerning the Messiah were predicted centuries in advance, and we see their fulfillment in the life of Jesus through the gospels and attributions through the epistles, for example:

God is always faithful to those that trust in Him and in this study you will see that faithfulness when His children call upon Him with a faithful, humble, and trusting heart.

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)

Isaiah 53 is one of the most detailed prophecies in the Old Testament about the coming Messiah. The first three verses begin by telling us that the Messiah will not have any splendor or attractiveness worthy of being noticed by others. He will be a normal-looking man. Starting in verse three the description becomes worse. He is described as “despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.” The Jewish leaders expected to receive two people–a man of sorrows and a conquering King. They did not expect one person could fulfill both descriptions by appearing on two occasions.

Through the timelines provided by the Bible between the time of Adam to the coming of Christ into the world, which is approximately four thousand years and from the time of his death to the current date, which is approximately two thousand years (Jewett, & Shuster, 2001). However, the earth has been in existence for a much longer period of time. As earlier indicated, there seems to be a time gap between verses one and two of Genesis. Isaiah 45:18 states that God did not create the earth without form and void, but for it to be inhabited.

Much debate has garnered opinions and questions as to the identity of the “Servant of the Lord of Isaiah 40-55”. Different views on the Servant’s identity has led to many interpretations and has brought vicarious answers to the query. Furthermore, some have guessed while others have taken the most definitive approach through Biblical scriptures and determined that Israel is the Servant of the Lord. On the other hand, others have relied on the notion that any other view is a Christian imposition onto the Hebrew Scriptures. Moreover, Israel’s role in God’s redemptive plan is essential to understanding why others consider Israel (collectively) as the “Servant of the Lord”. However, there is the role of and individual as the Servant of the Lord”

The warning in Isaiah 6, issued specifically to the kingdom of Judah during Isaiah’s ministry can also be applied to what will likely happen at the end of the age. In fact, hardening of hearts to the message of the gospel is happening already. Regardless of what is to come, God commissioned Isaiah to proclaim His forthcoming judgment. In addition to proclaiming judgment, God’s words through the prophet would further harden the hearts of the people and otherwise make them ignorant to any good news that Isaiah had to offer. Fortunately, and in spite of God’s judgment, there was hope as a remnant of Israel would survive the judgment and be saved by God’s grace. Thus, the remnant of people that would survive would be the heirs of God’s promises to Abraham. Without survivors, the Abrahamic Covenant would have been null and void, and all hope would of have been completely lost (Dennis & Grudem, 2008)

The introduction of this passage in Isaiah the six chapter begins by giving the reader an account of what is known as the “the call of Isaiah”. We also can see that Isaiah is more than just a prophet, but he is a visionary, leader, priest, and a messenger of things to come. Not much

This lesson plan will examine Isaiah 5:1-7, trying to concentrate on and discern this scriptural passage with thoughtful clarity for the intention of practical application. Isaiah 5:1-7 expresses Yahweh’s judgment against the house of Israel, for not bringing forth spiritual fruit through what He has provided for them.

The prophet Isaiah was around from circa 740 to 681 B.C. in a time where the
