The Canonical Function of Isaiah 13-14 A
Word & World Volume XIX, Number 2 Spring 1999 Serving Notice on Babylon: The Canonical Function of Isaiah 13-14 A. JOSEPH EVERSON California Lutheran University Thousand Oaks, California OR WELL OVER A GENERATION, THE PREMISE HAS BEEN WIDELY ACCEPTED THAT chapters 40-66 of the Isaiah scroll are a later expansion of earlier material found in Isaiah 1-39. This view is so prominent that the terms First Isaiah, Second Isaiah, and/or Third Isaiah are readily used in theological conversation, in seminary catalogs, course offerings, and in standard commentary and monograph titles. At no point in the scroll of Isaiah are the problems with these distinctions more apparent than in Isaiah 13-14. Here within the very heart of “First Isaiah,” we encounter poetry that is unambigu- ously addressed to Babylon, anticipating the downfall of that empire. How are we to understand the poetry in chapters 13-14? Do these chapters consist of small units which once had meaning in the eighth-century world?1 Were 1R. E. Clements, Isaiah 1-39 (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1980) 129-138, discerns five originally separate units within chapter 13; he contends that in three, Babylon was originally Yahweh’s instrument of destruction (13:2-3; 4-5; and 6-8). Only in the fifth originally separate unit (17-22) does Clements see the poem revised to be a word against Babylon. For an interpretation of the entire chapter against the eighth-century background, see J. R. Hayes and S. A. Irvine, Isaiah, the Eighth Century Prophet (Nashville: Abingdon, 1987). A. JOSEPH EVERSON is professor and chair of the department of religion at California Lutheran University. -

Isaiah 1:1-31 God’S Grace to People in Crisis
1. Honeyridge Baptist Church Isaiah 1:1-31 God’s Grace to People in Crisis Introduction As we come to God’s Word this evening, my plan is to try and connect what we have been learning over the past 7 weeks with a particular passage of Scripture… in order to show you practically how by going through the various steps we have been considering… we will be able to rightly handle God’s word of Truth… and will be able to rightly understand it and apply it to ourselves as God intended. So I want us to turn in our Bibles to the Prophet Isaiah… and we are going to look at Isaiah 1 tonight. TEXT So let me start by telling you a few things about the Book itself… before we come to consider the specific Text of Chapter 1. T Isaiah is the fifth longest book in the Bible and the third longest of all the Prophets, just marginally shorter than the book of Jeremiah & Ezekiel. To put that in the NT perspective… The book of Isaiah is about the same length as Romans, 1-2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians & 1-2 Thessalonians combined! Why is this relevant? Well, firstly because it makes up a significant portion of God’s revelation, and so just from that perspective alone, we should be committed to knowing what God has to say to us in this book. But what is especially important about the book of Isaiah is that it is directly quoted 66x in the NT with about 350 more allusions to ideas or phrases from Isaiah making it the most referenced OT book in the NT. -

The Great Isaiah Scroll supports several of these differences found in the Book of Mormon. Five parallel passages in the Isaiah scroll, the Book of Mormon, and the King James Version of the Bible are compared to illus- trate the Book of Mormon’s agreement with the Isaiah scroll.

Willis: The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective John T. Willis mmanuel stands at the forefront of Christian thought. This word appears often in sermons, religious books, religious articles, songs, church classes, and common daily conversation. The word Immanuel is a Ivery ancient Hebrew word meaning literally “with us is God.” It falls into three parts. The most important element is El, which means “God.” God is at the heart of every biblical account. Thus, in the expression Immanuel, the emphasis is on God. Manu means “us,” biblically denoting God’s chosen people Israel. Im means “with,” a tiny but very important preposition denoting nearness or close association. (The Greek equivalent of “with” is sun [syn], sul [syl], sum [sym], from which English receives many familiar words like synagogue, “a gathering together”; Sanhedrin, “council”; sympathy, “suffering with”; symphony, “harmony of sounds”; and syllogism, “reckoning with.”) The testimony or account of Joseph in Genesis 37, 39—50 emphasizes that God was with Joseph at every stage of his life. -

“The 5 'I Wills' of Satan”
“The 5 ‘I Wills’ of Satan” Compiled by Rev. George F. Parsons Let us consider the five "I WILLS" of Lucifer as found in Isaiah 14:13- 14: 1) "I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN." Lucifer wanted to mount up or scale to the heavens. He desired to occupy the highest heavens: to probe, and to penetrate the kingdom of the infinite God. He wanted to have a very HIGH position! 2) "I WILL EXALT MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS OF GOD." Lucifer’s position and service before God’s throne was not enough. He wanted a throne from which he could exercise final authority and make decisions pertaining to the angelic host ("the stars of God"). He wanted to rule over all the angels. God had made him an exalted angel, but Lucifer wanted to be exalted even more. (He was not content to shine as the "morning star"; he wanted to shine as the star of stars--with a brilliance that would far outshine all the other stars (even as the sun’s brightness makes all the other stars fade away so that you cannot even see them during daylight hours). 3) "I WILL SIT ALSO UPON THE MOUNT OF THE CONGREGATION." He desired to sit or be enthroned in the highest place having all the angelic assemblies in submission to him. He wanted to be the center of attention. He wanted to be IDOLIZED by all. 4) "I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE CLOUDS." "Clouds" are often used in the Bible to speak of the glory of God (see Matthew 24:30; Acts 1:9; Rev. -

Context and Content in the Interpretation of Isaiah 7:14*
Tyndale Bulletin 21 (1970) 118-25. CONTEXT AND CONTENT IN THE INTERPRETATION OF ISAIAH 7:14* By J. A. MOTYER It is a problem common to the study of all prophetic texts how to make a legitimate appeal to the work of editors and insertionists in order to understand the meaning of a passage or section. Regarding the passage in hand, for example, Duhm proposes that verse 17 is a glossator's clumsy attempt to link Isaiah 7:1-16 with 18-25, and considers verses 18-25 to be the work of 'a collector of Isaianic fragments'.1 Kissane, however, urges that 'the problem here is really one of inter- pretation' and further comments: 'Various critics omit 15 or 16 or 16b or 17; but the sole reason for the omission is the diffi- culty of interpretation.'2 The matter may be put thus: it is not that the concept of the editing of a prophetic text or book is itself at fault, but that it appears not to be taken with sufficient seriousness by those who appeal most frequently to it. The 'editor' must not be made a scapegoat. Rather than treat him as one who juxta- posed two passages which seemed to him to be coherent but are easily seen by us not to be so, we should and must assume him to be an intelligent publicist of the mind and matter of his subject. And if, as seems to be the case, there is increasing readiness to allow that the prophets could and did act as their own editors, then all the more must we seek to implement the principle of the priority of exegetical considerations.
