However, scholarship scarcely has treated the theme of νόμος, the Νόμος is .תורה Septuagintal word Luke uses as a translation of the Hebrew word mentioned four times in the Presentation narrative; it also is a word in Septuagintal Isaiah to which the metaphor of light in Luke 2:32 alludes. In 2:22-32—a pivotal piece within Luke-Acts—νόμος relates to several themes, including ones David Pao discusses in his study on Isaiah’s portrayal of Israel’s restoration, appropriated by Luke. My dissertation investigates, for the first time, the Septuagintal Isaian use of νόμος in this pericope. My thesis is that Luke’s use of νόμος in the Presentation pericope highlight’s Jesus’ identity as the Messiah who will restore and fulfill Israel.

    Zion Lutheran Church Sunday Morning Bible Study Lesson 12

    Zion Lutheran Church Sunday Morning Bible Study Lesson 12 Chapters 13-23 are a collection of 11 oracles/prophecies/burdens that, with the exception of chapter 22, are directed at heathen nations. To understand the divine impact of these oracles we need to look no further than an historical timeline. Since chapter 7 was written about 735 B.C. and chapters 36-38 were written in 701 B.C. we can pretty safely deduce that Isaiah wrote these oracles between 735-701 B.C. An outline of Isaiah’s Oracles Chapter(s) Nation/Empire 13-14:27 Babylon & Assyria 14:28-32 Philistia 15-16 Moab 17 Damascus (Syria) 18 Ethiopia 19-20 Egypt 21:1-10 Babylon 21:11-12 Edom 21:13-17 Arabia 22 Jerusalem (Judah) 23 Tyre (Lebanon) Isaiah 21 Introduction-Though very short, Chapter 20 of Isaiah is a very important book of the Bible for reasons of validity. Isaiah begins with a very precise time stamp, “In the year that the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and captured it.” Now, lets dig into that one verse and see how it relates to the validity of the Bible. 1.

  • Ancient Israel's Neighbors

    Ancient Israel's Neighbors

    Ancient Israel's Neighbors Isaiah was God’s prophet who was called to preach, teach, and prophesy to the entire known world, not just to those who lived in his kingdom. He prophesied to Arabia (Isaiah 21:13–17), Assyria (10:12–19), Babylon (13:6– 22; 21:1–10; 47:1–15), Edom (34:1–15), Egypt (19:1–25), Ethiopia (20:1–6), Moab (15:1–16:4), and Philistia (14:28–32). ISAIAH 2:16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. Tarshish, the precise location of which is unknown, was probably a prosperous and bustling Mediterranean seaport. Through Tarshish, Solomon imported luxury items, including gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks (1 Kings 10:22). Perhaps because of the city’s wealth and afuence, the destruction of Tarshish and its ships symbolizes the Lord’s judgment on the proud and arrogant (Psalm 48:7; Isaiah 23:1, 14). ISAIAH 7:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall hiss for the y that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria. The y and the bee often symbolize ghting soldiers (Deuteronomy 1:44; Psalm 118:12). These symbols are well chosen because “the ooding of the Nile brought . swarms of ies,” and “the hill districts of Assyria were well known for their bees” (J. Alec Motyer, The Prophecy of Isaiah: An Introduction and Commentary, 89). In this case, Isaiah prophesies that the Lord will prompt the Assyrian armies, here referred to as “bees,” to come down on Judah.

  • Joseph Smith's Interpretation of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon

    Joseph Smith's Interpretation of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon

    SCRIPTURAL STUDIES Joseph Smith's Interpretation of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon David P. Wright THE BOOK OF MORMON (hereafter BM), which Joseph Smith published in 1830, is mainly an account of the descendants of an Israelite family who left Jerusalem around 600 B.C.E. to come to the New World. According to the book's story, this family not only kept a record of their history, which, added upon by their descendants, was to become the BM, but also brought with them to the Americas a copy of Isaiah's prophecies, from which the BM prophets cite Isaiah (1 Ne. 5:13; 19:22-23). Several chapters or sections of Isaiah are quoted in the BM: Isaiah 2-14 are cited in 2 Nephi 12-24; Isaiah 48-49 in 1 Nephi 20-21; Isaiah 49:22-52:2 in 2 Nephi 6:6-7,16- 8:25; Isaiah 52:7-10 in Mosiah 12:21-24; Isaiah 53 in Mosiah 14; and Isaiah 54 in 3 Nephi 22. Other shorter citations, paraphrases, and allusions are also found.1 The text of Isaiah in the BM for the most part follows the King James Version (hereafter KJV). There are some variants, but these are often in- significant or of minor note and therefore do not contribute greatly to clarifying the meaning of the text. The BM, however, does provide inter- pretation of or reflections on the meaning of Isaiah. This exegesis is usu- ally placed in chapters following citation of the text (compare 1 Ne. 22; 2 Ne.

    THRU the BIBLE EXPOSITION Isaiah: Jahweh Is Salvation Part XXVII: Learning to Resist Efforts by ALL Men to Influence Us Not to Heed Scripture (Isaiah 18:1-7)

    THRU THE BIBLE EXPOSITION Isaiah: Jahweh Is Salvation Part XXVII: Learning To Resist Efforts By ALL Men To Influence Us Not To Heed Scripture (Isaiah 18:1-7) I. Introduction A. Since "Isaiah" in Hebrew means "Jahweh Is Salvation," Isaiah's prophecy focuses on God's saving His people. B. God had wanted Judah to trust the promise of His Word that He would rescue her from Assyria, but that message was countered by a delegation from Cush that attempted to get Judah to make a treaty with them against Assyria, Cush being like all men in history who try to influence God's people not to obey His Word. C. Accordingly, God had a message for Cush in Isaiah 18:1-7, and we view it for our insight and edification: II. Learning To Resist Efforts By ALL Men To Influence Us Not To Heed Scripture, Isaiah 18:1-7. A. The message of Isaiah 18:1-7 is given to "the land of whirring wings," to Cush, "modern-day southern Egypt, Sudan and northern Ethiopia," Bible Know. Com., O. T., p. 1065. The term "whirring wings" is "(p)robably a reference to the insects of the region" as a picture of the contextual restless activity and concern of the nation of Cush, Ryrie Study Bible, KJV, 1978, footnote to Isaiah 18:1. B. Isaiah 18:2a indicates the Cushites had sent "envoys in swift-moving papyrus boats (cf. Job 9:26) to suggest that Israel form an alliance with them against the Assyrians," Ibid., Bible Know. Com., O.
  • An Examination of Isaiah 66:17

    An Examination of Isaiah 66:17

    Sometimes the Center is the Wrong Place to Be: An Examination of Isaiah 66:17 Kevin Malarkey Theology Given the Hebrew Bible as our only historical source, the period of the Israelites’ return to Judah and restoration of Jerusalem seems to be one of religious, social, and political anarchy; the Biblical record is wrought with historical lacunae and contradictions which ultimately leave us in the proverbial dark concerning the epoch.1 Historical-Biblical scholarship must, it appears, be content to do without a coherent and comprehensive narrative fully describing the repatriated Israelites’ situation. But, this is not to say that our knowledge of the period is wholly deficient; from a more studious examination of the texts we might be able to glean more than just isolated minutiae floating through the void. We can certainly assert that a portion of the exiled Israelites, the ones most interested in preserving their identity as specially chosen by God,2 would have adopted conservative attitudes regarding authentic religious worship. While some of the exiles may have made forays into religious syncretism and cultural assimilation (and most likely did, given the fact that some elected not to return to Palestine after Cyrus’ liberation), others refused acquiescence to such syncretism and assimilation on the grounds that authentic God-worship could not be genuinely undertaken in Babylon and should not be sullied by the taint of other gods. Indeed, a group of exiles did return to Jerusalem, intent on reestablishing authentic God- worship in the land and rebuilding the Temple in Jerusalem as the locale of this worship.
