Isaiah : The Prophet Of Isaiah

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

Jesus is, as the Messianic Servant, shown to be the fulfilment of further Isaianic prophecy, that of the suffering Servant. Throughout Matthew’s gospel there are six direct allusions to Isaiah 53 indicating a definite link and identification by Matthew with this Israelite and Messianic hope. Further, Farmer suggests that direct allusions notwithstanding in 20:20-28 and especially 26:26-30 Isaiah 53's redemptive hope is supposed to be fulfilled through Jesus’ description of the outcome of his crucifixion.

Introduction: We see a book that was often quoted by Jesus and the apostles. A book that was written nearly 700 years before Christ was born. In the Six Chapter of the book of Isaiah, Isaiah gives us a record of his sacred call to the office of Prophet. His calling comes in a time of crisis in the nation. He begins by telling us that it was the year when King Uzziah had died. A king that had reign for over 50 years. Is in that time when God appear to Isaiah, he says (Verse 1) He has a vision. I saw (didn’t hear or read) The Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up and His robe filled the temple. The image and the symbolic significance of what Isaiah sees upon here, is the outfit of The King like no other (status symbols).

In Isaiah’s Immanuel, Dr. Edward Hindson truly dives into the book of Isaiah. Hindson helps us to grasp the importance and statute of Isaiah. He was not simply a prophet among prophets. He stands out as a citizen of Israel and a servant of God. Hindson does not hold back on his praises of Isaiah and agrees with W.R.Smith, that he is the second most important person throughout the whole story of Israel (2). Isaiah’s writings style still puts modern day scholars in awe. However, Isaiah’s Godly leadership is a principle throughout the book that far exceeds his other attributes. His wisdom, words, and visions from God guided the nation of Israel throughout the reign of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Hindon discusses the history of not only Isaiah

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.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had no legs or not being able to feel your legs? Kayla Montgomery and Isaiah Bird didn’t stop for that. Kayla had MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and Isaiah had no legs. Isaiah had to overcome bigger obstacles, one he has no legs and is,(two) living with a domestic violence background.

It was a cold, Halloween night. We had snuck out to smoke cigarettes in an abandoned parking lot. Our cover story was going to Ashley’s house, but I knew Isaiah’s mom didn’t believe it. She always knew when we were lying, if we were hiding something, or if we were planning something. She probably knew all the tricks since she was a troublemaker in her days, too. But it was on the days that Isaiah told the truth, when he was vulnerable and completely honest, when she still believed we were lying, that really annoyed Isaiah the most. He felt his mother just chose to distrust anyone and anything. That when she didn’t believe anything unless she saw it, heard it, smelled it herself. But to me, she has been lied to, too many times. By the same people, over and over again, until she just

There was nothing the people could do because they had continued to reject God. When King Ahaz asked Isaiah to find him a sign from God, and Isaiah said that no "elaborate preparations" were needed to "overcome these enemies", King Ahaz did not listen and ended up betraying God by performing a sacrifice and worshipping false gods (Newland 168). Isaiah proclaimed that the Davidic Covenant would be put on pause until the Messiah came due to the unfaithful and corrupt leaders in the nation (Newland 167-168). In the Bible, there is also Midrash when Isaiah predicts the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. For example, Isaiah says to the people that "the Lord himself will give you a sign; the young woman," who is a virgin and is "pregnant about to bear a son, shall name him Emmanuel" (The New American Bible Revised Edition, Is. 7:14). He also speaks again about the coming Messiah when he says that "a child is born to us, a son is given to us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder Counselor, God-Father-Forever, Prince of

The first half of the book discusses the message and warning from Isaiah that God will punish Israel, Judah, and the surrounding nations for their corrupt behavior, that includes idolatry and immorality (Holy Bible, NIV, 1996). "Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! This is what the Lord says: "The children I raised and cared for have turned against me. Even the animals-the donkey and the ox-know their owner and appreciate his care, but not my people Israel. No matter what I do for them, they still do not understand". "Oh What a sinful nation they are! They are loaded down with a burden of guilt. They are evil and corrupt children who have turned away from the Lord. They have despised the Holy One of Israel, cutting themselves off from his help" (Isaiah 1: 2-4). The second part of the book discusses the message of forgiveness, reassurance, and hope. Hope comes in the form of the impending Messiah. Isaiah explains that the Messiah will be "both a suffering Servant and a sovereign Lord" and will "offer forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith" (Holy Bible, NIV, 1996). "Look, a righteous king is coming! And honest princes will rule under him. He will shelter Israel from the storm and wind. He will refresh her as a river in the desert and as the cool shadow of a large rock in a hot and weary land. Then everyone who can see will be looking for God, and those who can hear will listen to his voice. Even the hotheads among them will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer in uncertainty will speak out plainly" (Isaiah 32:

One of the many prophecies that Jesus fulfilled actually happened before he was born. The prophecy was said in Isaiah 7:14. It says,” Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” If we were to break down this verse it is giving the Israelites a sign from God. Their Savior would be born from virgin birth and be called Emmanuel. The naming of Jesus would be important because Emmanuel means “God with us” and that’s who Jesus was. He was God in the form of the Son here on earth. The prophecy was fulfilled in Matthew 1:18 which says,” This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.” This verse explains how Mary and Joseph were not yet married but she had been found with a baby.
