The Septuagintal Isaian Use of Nomos in the Lukan Presentation Narrative
Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette Dissertations (2009 -) Dissertations, Theses, and Professional Projects The eptuaS gintal Isaian Use of Nomos in the Lukan Presentation Narrative Mark Walter Koehne Marquette University Recommended Citation Koehne, Mark Walter, "The eS ptuagintal Isaian Use of Nomos in the Lukan Presentation Narrative" (2010). Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 33. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/33 THE SEPTUAGINTAL ISAIAN USE OF ΝΌΜΟΣ IN THE LUKAN PRESENTATION NARRATIVE by Mark Walter Koehne, B.A., M.A. A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT THE SEPTUAGINTAL ISAIAN USE OF ΝΌΜΟΣ IN THE LUKAN PRESENTATION NARRATIVE Mark Walter Koehne, B.A., M.A. Marquette University, 2010 Scholars have examined several motifs in Luke 2:22-35, the ”Presentation” of the Gospel of Luke. 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. -

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. -
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. -

January 15 Same Message! Different Methods? Isaiah 46:9-10; Isaiah 43
January 15 While we were yet sinners, God sent Jesus to die for us, to Same Message! Different Methods? restore our relationships with God. Romans 5:8 Isaiah 46:9-10; Isaiah 43:18-19 God doesn’t change, Jesus doesn’t change--Jesus is the same yesterday, today, forever Hebrews 13:8, God’s love doesn’t Isaiah 42:10 – Sing a new song to the Lord change. Psalm 40:4 – The Lord put a new song into my mouth, a hymn to Karl Barth, a well-known theologian in the early 1900s, was our God asked, “How would you sum up your life as a Bible scholar?” He replied, “Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so” New song? We have read verses from Psalm 89 this morning, reminding us The message is the same as it always has been. of God’s greatness, reminding us that God is above all and over I will be your God and you will be my people Exodus 6:7 all; God is Creator, Sovereign, in charge. Are we saying we need to change what we say about who God is, Well, what is this new song? what God has done? In Isaiah 46, God says Bear in mind what happened of old No—From the beginning the message has not changed. How do In Isaiah 43—three chapters earlier!—God says we know? Hebrew Scripture; the Old Testament Do not recall what happened of old And the message is: God doesn’t change Is God contradicting himself? That’s what we read together in Psalm 89: Throughout these chapters in Isaiah, the message is clear: there --who is like God? Creator, awesome, over all. -
Isaiah 62:1-5 Every So Often We Hear the Rumors That Jesus Was Married
Sermon Lesson: Isaiah 62:1-5 Every so often we hear the rumors that Jesus was married. A number of years ago, there was a bestselling book and a hit movie in which Jesus was secretly married to Mary Magdalene. Supposedly, they had a child, whose bloodline still exists today and the church has covered it up for centuries. It’s just not true. The Bible gives no indication that Jesus was married, but plenty of evidence to the contrary. It’s not that Jesus took a vow of celibacy thinking that it’s more pleasing to God to remain single than to get married. From Bethlehem, he had the world’s salvation in mind and wouldn’t be distracted from that goal. But that doesn’t mean Jesus looked down on marriage, either. He took time out of his busy schedule to attend the wedding at Cana and blessed it with his first miracle. Throughout Scripture he pictures his relationship with his people as that of a husband and wife. Today, through Isaiah, the Lord tells us that he Takes Pride in his Bride. She is the crown of his splendor and is called by a new name. Isaiah gives us the maiden name of Christ’s bride: “Zion and Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, of course, was the capital city of Israel and the home of God’s temple. Zion was one of the hills on which Jerusalem was built. With unbridled enthusiasm the Lord declares that he “will not keep silent” about the righteousness and purity of his people. His beautiful bride shines like a gorgeous sunrise or like a blazing torch cutting through the darkness of night. -

10–26–2020 Isaiah 65:1–25 Bible Study Read Isaiah 65:1–25
10–26–2020 Isaiah 65:1–25 Bible Study Read Isaiah 65:1–25. I will print the Net–2 translation. THE LORD WILL DISTINGUISH BETWEEN SINNERS AND THE GODLY 65 “I made myself available to those who did not ask for me; I appeared to those who did not look for me. I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’ to a nation that did not invoke my name. 2 I spread out my hands all day long to my rebellious people, who lived in a way that is morally unacceptable and who did what they desired. 3 These people continually and blatantly offend me as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards and burn incense on brick altars. 4 They sit among the tombs and keep watch all night long. They eat pork and broth from unclean sacrificial meat is in their pans. 5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself! Don’t get near me, for I am holier than you!’ These people are like smoke in my nostrils, like a fire that keeps burning all day long. 6 Look, I have decreed: I will not keep silent, but will pay them back; I will pay them back exactly what they deserve, 7 for your sins and your ancestors’ sins,” says the Lord. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and offended me on the hills, I will punish them in full measure.” 8 This is what the Lord says: “When juice is discovered in a cluster of grapes, someone says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for it contains juice.’ So I will do for the sake of my servants— I will not destroy everyone.
