The Book Of Isaiah And The Assyrian Crisis

384 Words2 Pages

According to the textbook, the book of Isaiah, which covers sixty six chapters, was composed in a time period close to three hundred years (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). Some scholars believe that the book of Isaiah was written solely by Isaiah, while other scholars believe that the book was written by several different writers. During the time that Isaiah prophesied about the Babylonians, they were not the enemy of Israel, nor were the Persians in the region (Seitz, 1996). This created confusion and did not make any sense to the targeted audience. The book of Isaiah appears to be divided into three different parts with different backgrounds, but there are sections of each part that relates to the other parts of the book (Tullock & McEntire, …show more content…

The first thirty nine chapters of the book of Isaiah focus on the background of the Assyrian Crisis that occurred during the eighth century. The next sixteen chapters cover the Babylonian Exile that occurred during the sixth century. The remaining last eleven chapters centers on the reestablishment of worship that occurred during the fifth century (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). One of themes that I noticed about the book of Isaiah was that he was a messenger of the covenant. This meant that he constantly reminded Israel about the requirements of the covenant, the punishments for disobedience, and the blessings for obedience (Emadi, 2013). As a prophet from God, Isaiah had the ability to receive visions of future occurrences. I believe that this is how Isaiah was able to write all of the chapters of his book. These oracles of judgment were conditioned on either the response of the repentance of Israel or the repentance from other countries (Emadi, 2013). The book of Isaiah was composed of several oracles and prophesies of judgment pertaining to Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Moab, and Ammon and oracles of salvation of Israel (Tullock &

Ehrman makes it a point throughout the textbook to emphasize that his approach is consistently from a historical perspective. His apparent goal is to familiarize the student with New Testament writings and early Christian writings by “emphasizing the rich diversity of the earliest Christian literature.” (xxvii) What the reader is left with is a textbook that comes across as being written from an interpretive standpoint where it is apparent Ehrman views his interpretation to be the one true expression of

Rather than censures the work of incumbent government, he focuses on the challenges the country faced at the time- and some it continues to face today. He used a series of rhetorical techniques. Some words were provocative : Let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house; while some were conciliatory; Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. There were also allusions: Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah- to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free. He also used antithesis: “ask not what your country can do for you- ask what you can do for your country.”

The first part, "Muhammad", was all about the Prophet. The author started the book with his last moments but made sure that everything that Hazleton was writing was everything related to him and only him. Take the Hadith of the Cloak (Hadith Al-Kisa), for example. It was when Prophet Muhammad brought together his daughter Fatima, Ali, and his grandsons Hussein and Hassan (peace be upon them all), under his cloak and announced them as his family (Ahl). It was a very important part of The Prophets life that purified his family by Allah as is stated in the Quran.

In the book of Haggai, one learns that Haggai is a prophet for Israel following their exile to Babylon. So, to understand today what one can learn from this prophecy one needs to understand who it was for; additionally, since this book is prophecy one needs to look elsewhere in the Bible to understand the full historical context.1 The first four chapters of Ezra give a historical account of the events leading up to the book of Haggai. In it, we can see a people who were happy and contented in exile but knew their calling was to be in the land promised to them, through their fathers, by God. As God would have it, He did not intend for His people to remain in exile, so He moved Cyrus to allow them to go back; furthermore, He spoke through Cyrus and gave the Israelites His full intention; to rebuild the temple.2 The Israelites laid the foundation and placed the altar but when opposition arises, the Israelites quit building and again go back to their routines of life; subsequently, they toil without putting God first and grumble because it is unprofitable and surprisingly they never understand why.3 Finally, God speaks through Haggai and reminds them who they are, who He is, and what their focus should be.4 The Israelites rebuild the temple and again through Haggai, God tells the Israelites that He is pleased, and He will never leave

Chungsoo many of the views you shared in your prompt are right on target with my belief and supported by scriptures (i.e. Isaiah 1:1) of the one Isaiah theory that has been the traditionally held theory. What is more heartwarming to me is that you pointed out the fact that we are to rely on the inerrancy of the scriptures which are the bedrock of our faith and belief in the omnipotent God. Why is it relevant to begin to authenticate who the author or authors of Isaiah was/were if not to begin to chip away from the inerrancy of the word of God? It is common practice of the adversary in infiltrating the minds of believers to the extent of questioning the sovereignty of the Master (God). We must begin to dissuade ourselves from the many held theories

Isaiah 53 should be a very critical prophetic chapter of the Bible when it comes to establishing without ambiguity that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is indeed the Jewish Messiah long awaited for in Judaism. Popular in evangelical circles, this prophecy clearly describes some of what Jesus of Nazareth experienced while here on earth. Contrary to the systematic way the translation of the Word of God has been divided, my belief is that this prophecy began in Chapter 52:13 and continued until Chapter 53:11. Although this passage clearly talks about the suffering messiah Jesus, we know that the Jews in general rejected Him as the Messiah and are still awaiting for the messiah to come although He came 2000 years ago. This prophecy begins in verse 13 to 15 of chapter 52 and describes the Messiah as one who would be firstly wise.
