I will print the Net–2 translation. THE LORD WILL RESTORE ZION v. 1: The destroyer is as good as dead, you who have not been destroyed! The deceitful one is as good as dead, the one whom others have not deceived! When you are through destroying, you will be destroyed; when you finish deceiving, others will deceive you! 2 Lord, be merciful to us! We wait for you. Give us strength each morning. Deliver us when distress comes. 3 The nations run away when they hear a loud noise; the nations scatter when you spring into action! 4 Your plunder disappears as if locusts were eating it; they swarm over it like locusts. 5 The Lord is exalted, indeed, he lives in heaven; he fills Zion with justice and fairness. 6 He is your constant source of stability; he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; he gives all this to those who fear him. 7 Look, ambassadors cry out in the streets; messengers sent to make peace weep bitterly. 8 Highways are empty; there are no travelers. Treaties are broken; witnesses are despised, human life is treated with disrespect. 9 The land dries up and withers away; the forest of Lebanon shrivels up and decays. Sharon is like the arid rift valley; Bashan and Carmel are parched. 10 “Now I will rise up,” says the Lord. “Now I will exalt myself; now I will magnify myself. 11 You conceive straw, you give birth to chaff; your breath is a fire that destroys you. 12 The nations will be burned to ashes; like thornbushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire. 13 You who are far away, listen to what I have done! You who are close by, recognize my strength.” 14 Sinners are afraid in Zion; panic grips the godless. They say, “Who among us can coexist with destructive fire? Who among us can coexist with unquenchable fire?” 15 The one who lives uprightly and speaks honestly, the one who refuses to profit from oppressive measures and rejects a bribe, the one who does not plot violent crimes and does not seek to harm others— 16 this is the person who will live in a secure place; he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; he will have food and a constant supply of water. 17 You will see a king in his splendor; you will see a wide land. 18 Your mind will recall the terror you experienced, and you will ask yourselves, “Where is the scribe? Where is the one who weighs the money? Where is the one who counts the towers?” 19 You will no longer see a defiant people whose language you do not comprehend, whose derisive speech you do not understand. 20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals! You will see Jerusalem, a peaceful settlement, a tent that stays put; its stakes will never be pulled up; none of its ropes will snap in two. 21 Instead the LORD will rule there as our mighty king. Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; no war galley will enter; no large ships will sail through. 22 For the LORD, our ruler, the LORD, our commander, the LORD, our king— he will deliver us. 23 Though at this time your ropes are slack, the mast is not secured, and the sail is not unfurled, at that time you will divide up a great quantity of loot; even the lame will drag off plunder. 24 No resident of Zion will say, “I am ill”; the people who live there will have their sin forgiven. COMMENTS: WOE TO AN UNNAMED INVADER (33:1-16) The final woe is directed not to Jerusalem but to a traitorous opponent, most probably Assyria. In the midst of words speaking of the destruction of the enemy there are embedded prayers by the prophet directed to the Lord (see vv. 2-4 and 20). As with the other woe oracles gracious promises are also interspersed, for the Lord is exalted in Zion (v. 5) and as the savior of his people he is judge, lawgiver and king (v. 22). DENUNCIATION OF THE DESTROYER (33:1) v. 1: Up to this point in time the unnamed enemy has been both destroyer and a treacherous opponent. Assyria has herself managed to escape destruction or betrayal. However, Isaiah now announces that in the future she will herself be subject to destruction, and the type of faithless conduct she exhibited in the past will be practiced against her. PRAYER TO THE EXALTED LORD (33:2-6) v. 2: The language of Isaiah bears a strong resemblance to the petitions in the Psalter. He pleads with God to show favor, for the hope of the people is directed towards him (‘we wait for you’). The plea is that God's arm, i.e. his strength, will be manifested morning by morning for the benefit of his covenant people. The parallel phrase asks for his salvation in time of distress. vs. 3-4: The message already given in 30:27-33 is repeated, though in summary fashion. The Lord's voice is able to shatter even powerful nations like Assyria. When he rises up as the warrior ready for battle, nations flee before him. The destruction of Assyria will mean that spoil will be left behind, and it will be gathered just like the way in which some devouring insects (perhaps locusts) seize upon plants or food. v. 5: After taking directly to God, Isaiah now continues in the third person to speak of his God. Though he is such an exalted God, yet he will stoop to visit Zion so that it will be noted for its justice and righteousness. This is repeating in different words the promise that was made in 1:26-27. v. 6: This verse has a special message for us in these days of national conflict and worldwide pandemic. The assurance is given that following times of distress (see v. 2), other times will come in which the Lord will provide salvation for his people, with the catalogue of blessings emphasizing the abundance of his gifts. These gifts are available to all who respect (‘fear’) the LORD. JUDGMENT ON THE NATIONS (33:7-12) The prayer appears to end at verse 6, and it is followed by a declaration of judgment on the nations, principally on Assyria. The introductory ‘Look’ or ‘Behold’ indicates the beginning of a new section in biblical Hebrew. Verse 8 points to the negotiations with Sennacherib's officials (see 36:2-22). The judgment on Assyria will also be an exaltation of the Lord himself. v. 7: The ‘ambassadors’ or ‘heroes’ ‘cry out’ but the news is not good. The messengers sent to make peace weep bitterly. Their task fails. Their weeping bitterly could be reflected in 36:22, which says that they went to report to Hezekiah with torn clothes. v. 8: A consequence of the political situation is that nobody wants to travel, and hence the highways (a favorite word with Isaiah: see 7:3; 11:16; 19:23; 40:3; 49:11; 59:7; 62:10) are deserted. The reason is that the treaties are broken, cities/witnesses are despised, and no one reckons human life highly. The language reflects the technical terms for breach of treaty, and points to Sennacherib's actions in accepting the tribute he demanded for leaving Jerusalem untouched, but then going back on his word and proceeding to besiege it. v. 9: The devastation caused by the Assyrian invasion is widespread, and places are mentioned that depict the whole land: north (Lebanon), west (Sharon and Carmel), east (Bashan) and south (the Arabah). With the exception of the Arabah ALL the other places are noted for their vegetation, but what has happened is that they have all become desert like the Arabah. Invasion has ruined the whole country. v. 10: The Lord is going to be exalted through his judgments. They will display his sovereignty over men and nature as he visits Assyria with the threatened punishment and Zion with salvation (see the previous descriptions in 29:5 and 31:4-5). The declaration is made using three verbs, with the thrice repeated ‘Now’. This use of ‘now’ is emphatic, and as elsewhere it comes in a passage speaking of the imminent actions of the Lord in judgment and blessing. The first verb 'I will arise' (qûm) is common in the Psalms, when God is asked to act for his people or against his enemies. The second verb (rûm) is used of God's throne (Isa. 6:1) and of God himself (30:18), while the third one (nâsâʾ) is applied to the Lord's temple (2:2) and to his throne (6:1). vs. 11-12: Not only does the Lord speak of his own exaltation but he defiantly confronts the enemies with the accusation that all their plotting is useless. There is no substance in what they plan, for it will turn out to be like chaff or straw, while any fire they kindle will turn back on themselves and they will be consumed. They will be completely burnt to lime. Amos 2:1 gives the clue to the meaning for it is said there that Moab burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime, and, as the Targum interprets it, this was so that it could then be used for building purposes.

  • Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth
    Sermons on the Old Testament of the Bible by Jesus of Nazareth THROUGH DR. DANIEL G. SAMUELS This online version published by Divine Truth, USA http://www.divinetruth.com/ version 1.0 Introduction to the Online Edition For those already familiar with the messages received through James Padgett , the Samuels channelings are a blessing in that they provide continuity and integration between the teachings of the Bible and the revelations received through Mr. Padgett. Samuels’ mediumship differed from Padgett’s in that it is much more filled with detail and subtlety, which makes it a perfect supplement to the “broad strokes” that Padgett’s mediumship painted with. However, with this greater resolution of detail comes greater risk of error, and it is true that we have found factual as well as conceptual errors in some of Samuel’s writings. There are also a number of passages where the wording is perhaps not as clear as we would have wished – where it appears that there was something of a “tug-of-war” going on between Samuels’ and Jesus’ mind. In upcoming editions we will attempt to notate these passages, but for now the reader is advised (as always) to read these messages with a prayerful heart, asking that their Celestial guides assist them in understanding the true intended meaning of these passages. The following is an excerpt from a message received from Jesus regarding the accuracy and clarity of Dr. Samuels’ mediumship: Received through KS 6-10-92 I am here now to write...and we are working with what is known as a "catch 22" on earth at this time, which means that it's very difficult to convince someone about the accuracy and clarity of a medium -through the use of mediumistic means.

  • The Book of Isaiah Overview
    The Book of Isaiah Overview “When Scripture Speaks, God Speaks.” — Augustine Background and Genre: • Isaiah is one of the Major Prophets writing around 740 BC. • Isaiah is the third-largest written book, behind Jeremiah and the Psalms. • The book of Isaiah is itself the major source of its information. • Background material is contained in 2 Kings 15-21 and 2 Chronicles 26-33. • Contemporary prophets were Amos and Hosea, prophets to the Northern Kingdom. • Isaiah and Micah wrote to the Southern Kingdom of Judah. • He prophesied during the reign of Uzziah (or Azariah as noted in 2 Kings), Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. • Jewish tradition informs us that Isaiah was probably an aristocrat because of his easy access to Kings. “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub.” Isaiah 7:3 Theology: “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day, and repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” Luke 24:46-48 God • Isaiah proclaims an awesome God, dwelling in a high and holy place. “For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.’” Isaiah 57:15 • He has a plan for the whole world, and is sovereign, even to the last detail of creation and the plan for redemption.

  • "Who Shall Ascend Into the Mountain of the Lord?": Three Biblical Temple Entrance Hymns
    "Who Shall Ascend into the Mountain of the Lord?": Three Biblical Temple Entrance Hymns Donald W. Parry A number of the psalms in the biblical Psalter1 pertain directly to the temple2 and its worshipers. For instance, Psalms 29, 95, and 100 pertain to worshipers who praise the Lord as he sits enthroned in his temple; Psalm 30 is a hymn that was presumably sung at the dedication of Solomon’s temple; Psalms 47, 93, and 96 through 99 are kingship and enthronement psalms that celebrate God’s glory as king over all his creations; Psalms 48, 76, 87, and 122 are hymns that relate to Zion and her temple; Psalm 84 is a pilgrim’s song, which was perhaps sung by temple visitors as soon as they “came within sight of the Holy City”;3 Psalm 118 is a thanksgiving hymn with temple themes; Psalms 120 through 134 are ascension texts with themes pertaining to Zion and her temple, which may have been sung by pilgrims as they approached the temple; and Psalm 150, with its thirteen attestations of “praise,” lists the musical instruments used by temple musicians, including the trumpet, lute, harp, strings, pipe, and cymbals. In all, perhaps a total of one-third of the biblical psalms have temple themes. It is well known that during the days of the temple of Jerusalem temple priests were required to heed certain threshold laws, or gestures of approach, such as anointings, ablutions, vesting with sacred clothing, and sacrices.4 What is less known, however, is the requirement placed on temple visitors to subscribe to strict moral qualities.

  • DAILY BREAD the WORD of GOD in a YEAR by the Late Rev
    DAILY BREAD THE WORD OF GOD IN A YEAR By the late Rev. R. M. M’Cheyne, M.A. THE ADVANTAGES • The whole Bible will be read through in an orderly manner in the course of a year. • Read the Old Testament once, the New Testament and Acts twice. Many of you may never have read the whole Bible, and yet it is all equally divine.“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect.” If we pass over some parts of Scripture, we will be incomplete Christians. • Time will not be wasted in choosing what portions to read. • Often believers are at a loss to determine towards which part of the mountains of spices they should bend their steps. Here the question will be solved at once in a very simple manner. • The pastor will know in which part of the pasture the flock are feeding. • He will thus be enabled to speak more suitably to them on the sabbath; and both pastor and elders will be able to drop a word of light and comfort in visiting from house to house, which will be more readily responded to. • The sweet bond of Christian unity will be strengthened. • We shall often be lead to think of those dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, who agree to join with us in reading these portions. We shall more often be led to agree on earth, touching something we shall ask of God.

  • Isaiah 33 Lesson 23: a Magnificent Vision of the King in His Glorious Triump
    ISAIAH 33 LESSON 23: A MAGNIFICENT VISION OF THE KING IN HIS GLORIOUS TRIUMP I. MAIN IDEA This chapter gives a magnificent vision of the victory of King Jesus over all his foes, giving hope to all who trust in him (Davis). Isaiah 33 seems to anticipate an impending attack by the Assyrians, and this is a prayer by desperate people (Smallman). II. BACKGROUND Chapter 33 describes the last minute turning to the Lord which took place in Jerusalem, led by king Hezekiah, when Sennacherib’s envoys were at the gates (701 BC). Previously, Judah’s king Ahaz had made an alliance with Assyria (2 Kings 16:7) but now Assyria is breaking it. This final ‘woe’ is directed toward Assyria because they are about to attack Jerusalem. At last, God’s people have learned their lesson and cast themselves on the Lord’s mercy. God responds and destroys the Assyrians and prophetically tells them of the future New Jerusalem where the inhabitants will never experience such dread. III. SUMMARY Figure 1 Chapter 33 sequence of events EVENT #1: WOE TO THE ASSYRIANS (33:1) Chapter 33 describes the last minute turning to the Lord which took place in Jerusalem, led by king Hezekiah, when Sennacherib’s envoys were at the gates (701 BC). Previously, Judah’s king Ahaz had made an alliance with Assyria (2 Kings 16:7) but now Assyria is breaking it. This final ‘woe’ is directed toward Assyria because they are about to attack Jerusalem. 33:1. The destroyer is Assyria. Previously, King Ahaz, the father of Hezekiah, foolishly made an alliance with Assyria (2 Kings 16:7).

  • The Influence of Isaiah on the Gospel of John
    The Influence of Isaiah on the Gospel of John JAMES HAMILTON Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ABSTRACT. This article seeks to catalogue the connections between the pro- phecy of Isaiah and the Gospel of John. The study is organized according to whom the Gospel presents as making the connection: the evangelist, the Baptist, and Jesus. Further, the connections between John and Isaiah are clas- sified as either !direct fulfillments," where citation formulas are used, or as !thematic connections," where the correspondence between Isaiah and John is broader. The article seeks to establish a foundation for further study of John#s use of Isaiah by establishing the extent to which Isaianic influence may be discerned in the Fourth Gospel. Introduction A professor of English Literature once related an anecdote a- bout an undergraduate student who expressed delight in read- ing Shakespeare, because, the student said, !Shakespeare uses so many cliches." The student, of course, had it backwards. Sha- kespeare gave countless turns of phrase to the common stock of English idiom. It might be suggested that the prophecy of Isaiah had a similar impact upon the theological and religious vocabu- lary of early Judaism.1 If Isaiah is the Shakespeare of early Juda- 1 H. S. Songer writes, !Isaiah possesses crucial significance for the New Tes- tament. The book is referred to more than four hundred times, making it a- long with Psalms the most popular Old Testament book. Every gospel writer quotes Isaiah in the very first chapter of his work, and nearly every writer of the New Testament refers to it".

  • Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Isaiah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book of the Bible, as is true of the other prophetical books, comes from its writer. The book claims to have come from Isaiah (1:1; 2:1; 7:3; 13:1; 20:2; 37:2, 6, 21; 38:1, 4, 21; 39:3, 5, 8), and Jesus Christ and the apostles quoted him as being the writer at least 21 times, more often than they quoted all the other writing prophets combined. There are also many more quotations and allusions to Isaiah in the New Testament without reference to Isaiah being the writer. Kenneth Hanna wrote that there are more than 400 quotations from or allusions to the Book of Isaiah in the New Testament.1 J. A. Alexander noted that 47 of the 66 chapters of Isaiah are either quoted or alluded to in the New Testament, and that the 21 quotations attributed directly to Isaiah were drawn from chapters 1, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 29, 40, 42, 53, 61, and 65.2 The only Old Testament book referred to more frequently than Isaiah in the New Testament is Psalms. "It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Isaiah for the Christology of the church."3 The name of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, is the only one connected with the book in any of the Hebrew manuscripts or ancient versions. Josephus, the Jewish historian who wrote at the end of the first century A.D., believed that Isaiah wrote this book.
