...Communicative Situation Duhm’s argument that Isaiah 56-66 was written by the so-called Third Isaiah in Jerusalem around 520 B.C., just before the activity of Nehemiah, has been widely accepted among scholars. However, there have been some scholars who continue to 133The prophet depicts the theme of God’s salvation through a collocation of related terminology both in chapter 59:15b-20 and 63:1-6. The imagery of the garment is employed in both passages, yet 63:1-6 further develops it with colorful and vivid imagery: tv,Bol.Ti ~q'n" ydeg>Bi vB;l.YIw: (59:17), `ha'n>qi ly[im.K; j[;Y:w: (59:17d), and ~ydIg"B. #Wmx] (63:1b), AvWbl.Bi rWdh' (63:1c, cf. v. 2a, 3e).

...Prophet: Jeremiah Jeremiah is one of the four major prophets according to the Catholic church. The book of Jeremiah covers the period between 626 BC to 583 BC. It is written by Jeremiah and his secretary Baruch. Jeremiah dictated and Baruch recorded his message. Jeremiah may have been related to the deuteronomic authors or some may say he may been one of the deuteronomic authors. Certainly his message was close to the deuteronomic writing. Jeremiah was born in a priestly family from a town near Jerusalem, around year 650BC, about 100 years after the prophet Isaiah. God had blessed him and God called him when he was very little. Jeremiah followed God’s way and was faithful to God. He lived his life in turmoil because he was witnessing the Israelites acting out their unfaithfulness to God. Jeremiah was called by God to be his prophet to Judah and to the nations in the mist of Judah’s political convulsions : - (687-642), the political dependence of the Assyria brought on an resurgence of idolatry in the form of a syncretist fusion of the Mesopotamian astral gods and the Canaamite fertility deities. - The religious and political situation persisted until 622-621 when the Book of the Law was discovered in the Temple, Josiah led a thorough reform in Judah, which he extended to northern Israel. The people of who had been faithful the Yahwistic covenant did really supported the King. This glorious reign came to end in 609BC after the king’s death. - (609-598) Under Jehoiakim...

"Isaias" and "Esaias" redirect here. For the given name, see Isaias (given name). Isaiah | The Prophet Isaiah; illustration from a Biblecard published by the Providence Lithograph Company (c. 1904) | Prophet | Born | 8th Century BCE Judah (?) | Died | 7th Century BCE | Venerated in | Judaism Christianity Islam[1] | Feast | May 9 [2] | Isaiah (US /aɪˈzeɪ.ə/ or UK /aɪˈzaɪ.ə/;[2] Hebrew: יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, Modern Yeshayahu, Tiberian Yəšạʻyā́hû ; Syriac: ܐܫܥܝܐ Eshaya; Greek:Ἠσαΐας, Ēsaïās; Arabic: إشعيا Ishiya;[1] "Yah is salvation"[3]) was a prophet documented by the Biblical Book of Isaiah to have lived around the time of 8th-century BCE Kingdom of Judah.[4][5] The exact relationship between the Book of Isaiah and any such historical Isaiah is complicated.[a] One widespread view sees parts of the first half of the book (chapters 1–39) as originating with the historical prophet, interspersed with prose commentaries written in the time of King Josiah a hundred years later; with the remainder of the book dating from immediately before and immediately after the end of the exile in Babylon, almost two centuries after the time of the original prophet.

...“The Prophet Habakkuk” Ruby A. Jones Bethel University Old Testament REL 111 Sherry Henson March 25, 2013 “Historical background for The Prophet Habakkuk” Habakkuk’s name means “Embrace” and he was the eighth Prophet of the Minor Prophets. He was Prophet to the Southern Kingdom (Judah) who wrote his book around 600 B.C. Some may call Habakkuk the questioning Prophet because he questioned God’s wisdom. Habakkuk was confused, but unique because he questioned God’s wisdom without being punished. God did not mind Habakkuk’s concerns and was gracious enough to answer him. Habakkuk saw many sins that Israel and other nations were committing and was greatly concerned. Therefore he complained to God. “Summary and Analysis of The Prophet Habakkuk” I believe that Habakkuk was a man of God because he was very concerned about the wrong doings of the people of Judah. He could not understand why God was not punishing them for their sins. Habakkuk complained to God about the violence, wickedness, destruction, iniquity, perversion, strife, contention, and justice not being upheld. Habakkuk thought God was not doing anything about the people sinning, and was not concerned about man, but God reassured him that the people would not go unpunished. When God finally told Habakkuk what was to come he questioned God’s wisdom. I believe this is why He did not tell Habakkuk his plans right away, because He knew Habakkuk...

...Based upon the first-grade report, Isaiah typically works cooperatively in groups while respecting the rights and property of others, and demonstrates appropriate interaction with his peers. Academically, Isaiah demonstrates strength in both reading and writing. In areas of speaking and listening he demonstrated to have strength. Additionally, mathematical problem solving, and number concepts was another area he exceeded in. His teacher pointed out that Isaiah occasionally sought to become upset in stressful situations but can calm down quickly so he consistently works independently, listens attentively and follows directions. During recess and physical games, he no longer showed unusual amounts of impulsive behavior. Isaiah believes that I...

...Isaiah and Jeremiah were both godly prophets, messengers of the Lord. Both were major prophets in the Old Testament, called to proclaim the will and word of God. Although each prophet lived a similar prophetic life, each spoke a different message. The life of the great prophet Isaiah goes like so. Isaiah was born unto Amoz. His name, meaning ‘Jehovah is Salvation’ was of great importance alone. He comes from a line of royalty. Isaiah married a prophetess and together they conceived of two sons, Shear-Jashub and Maher-shalal-hash-baz. The prior means ‘a remnant shall return’, while the latter means ‘speed the spoil, hasten the booty.’ In chapter one of Isaiah, we read that he received visions from God during the reigns of the four kings...

...Some Classical Prophets And their influence in In Their Time and Viewing God through a Chaplain’s Eyes - Reflections of Student Chaplain Joseph P. Lalka October, 22 2014 Classical Prophets are the spoke persons of the Lord. They have a collection of works attributed to them. After the Prophets of Abraham, Moses, Miriam, Samuel, Nathan, Elijah and Elisha we are presented with what are called the Classical Prophets. They speak for Yahweh and are not future predictors but admonish and encourage about the present day. They remind the established leaders of the reason they were the leaders of their people. Remind the Establishment why they are the establishment. Eight century Prophets are most notable, and the start of the Classical Prophets. Their writings are collections in a separate book of the scriptures. Amos Amos is the first prophet I want to discuss. The theme that runs through all of the material is one of protest against the social injustices that prevailed in northern Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II. Along with this protest is the warning that Yahweh will surely punish the nation for violating the demands of justice. He declares, "Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again." He is caustic and abrasive in his delivery. He is from the southern kingdom but preached to the northern kingdom. He up holds the Mosaic Covenant. Amos was a herdsman who lived in the region of Tekoa, not many miles from the city of Jerusalem. As Amos pondered...

...REFORMED THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, ORLANDO | ISAIAH 41:17-20 | 0T516 Isaiah to Malachi, Spring 2010 | | | 4/28/2010 | 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the Lord will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water. 19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive. I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane and the pine together, 20 that they may see and know, may consider and understand together, that the hand of the Lord has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it. | Introduction In Isaiah 40-66, the prophet addresses the exiled remnants of the Jewish nation. Jerusalem has been destroyed by Babylon, which has swept all nations before it. However, Isaiah offers a remarkable prophecy of restoration. God will demonstrate that he is the ultimate power. The Lord is the Redeemer who will repopulate Jerusalem and rebuild Judah. This is the context for our understanding of the beautiful verses of Isaiah 41:17-20, which portray a picture of rivers in the desert, providing water to the poor and needy and bringing abundant life to the wilderness. Motyer describes the passage as follows: “The righteous God of verses 8-13 and the Redeemer of verses 14-17 is now the Creator...

... Introduction After reviewing J. J. M. Roberts’ Isaiah in Old Testament Theology, the theological message of Isaiah has become resoundingly clear. Previously, the theological message of Isaiah was considered to be the redemption of Israel, however, Roberts broadens this perspective by focusing on the One by whom redemption comes. The theological message of Isaiah is the majesty of the Holy One of Israel, the Suffering Servant, the Messiah, who would brutally suffer for the atonement of His chosen people and the rest of the world. “The prophet Isaiah provides a majestic picture of Messiah through whom God will bring light to the nations, redeem Israel, provide forgiveness, and bring universal blessing to the earth in the millennial kingdom.” The Book of Isaiah focuses on the issue of judgment and restoration of the God’s people. In this book, there is a clear picture of Messianic prophecy in which almighty God would move through His chosen people executing His plan of salvation for the world. Hear the Word of the Lord Isaiah the Prophet, son of Amoz, was given a vision from God concerning the judgment and restoration of Judah and functions as God’s herald pleading with them to hear the word of the Lord. According to Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah served during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah and despite living in an environment where the people were spiritually lascivious. The entire Book of Isaiah incorporates the Prophet’s vision from God and found to be...
