  • (Does Not) Know(S) Us: an Intertextual Dialogue in the Book of Isaiah
    Terblanche, “Abraham (does not) know(s) us,” OTE 24/1 (2011): 255-283 255 Abraham (Does not) Know(s) Us: An Intertextual Dialogue in the Book of Isaiah MARIUS D. TERBLANCHE (UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE ) ABSTRACT The stance towards Abraham in Isaiah 63:16 seems to be at odds with the high esteem in which Abraham is held in the other texts in the book of Isaiah which explicitly mention him, and other exilic and post-exilic texts. This state of affairs points to an intertextual dialo- gue between the Abraham texts in the book of Isaiah. The proper name Abraham acts as a signal which alerts a reader to the inter- textual relationship. Isaiah 63:16 displaces 29:22, 41:8 and 51:2 from their positions of authority. Trust in Yahweh himself was the only option for the people. A INTRODUCTION Abraham was particularly held in high esteem in exilic and early post-exilic times. 1 The people’s assertion in Isaiah 63:16a that Abraham does not know them and that Israel does not acknowledge them, is therefore astonishing. The prophet Ezekiel criticises the people remaining in the land after the deportation in 597 B.C.E. for substantiating their claim to the land through a typological alignment with Abraham. 2 Since Abraham was only one man when the land was given to him, the people remaining in the land believed that, although they were few, they could lay claim to the land. 3 The post-exilic prayer in Nehemiah 94 regards God’s promise to Abraham as foundational for hope for salvation in 1 The seven explicit allusions to Abraham in the prophetic corpus all occur in exilic or post-exilic texts, namely Isa 29:22; 41:8; 51:2; 63:16; Jer 33:26; Ezek 33:24; Mic 7:20.

  • FST14.The Forerunner Message in Isaiah 41-42.Study Notes.171208
    INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PRAYER UNIVERSITY – MIKE BICKLE FORERUNNER STUDY TRACK: THE FORERUNNER MESSAGE IN ISAIAH 1-45 Session 14 The Forerunner Message in Isaiah 41-42 I. INTRODUCTION A. Isaiah spoke this to the people of Judah sometime before the Assyrians invaded the land in 701 BC. Isaiah 41 and 42 go together. Most commentators would agree to that. It is one big topic covered over two chapters. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be the word, justice. Now you know that Isaiah 42 is a famous chapter. It is one of the famous Isaiah chapters where the Messiah comes and establishes justice in the nations of the world. Isaiah 41 is leading up to the great justice chapter of Isaiah 42. Like many of the other chapters, Isaiah spoke this message to the people of Judah, to the southern kingdom, some time before the great Assyrian invasion of which the nation was fearful because the Assyrians, the super power of that day, were coming down to Judah, surrounding them, and destroying the cities. However, Isaiah 41-42 is far more about the generation that the Lord returns, though it did help the people in Isaiah’s day. They did not understand there was a big storyline where billions of people would be on the earth in the generation when God transitions the earth to the age to come. That is where the ultimate lessons of Isaiah 41-42 are really applied in a global way. So we have the outline here: B. Outline for Isaiah 41-42 41:1-7 The Lord controls human history 41:8-16 The Lord will help Israel 41:17-20 The Lord will supernaturally help Israel return to the land 41:21-29 The powerlessness of false gods 42:1-4 God’s Servant will establish justice in the nations 42:5-9 God’s Servant will give light to the nations 42:10-17 The end-time prayer movement and Jesus’ second coming 42:18-25 God’s discipline of Israel C.

  • A Son of David Is Born: Isaiah 9:1-7 Jeff Mootz (12/20/20)
    A SON OF DAVID IS BORN: ISAIAH 9:1-7 JEFF MOOTZ (12/20/20) I. INTRODUCTION st nd A. The Old Testament Prophets wove the 1 ​ coming/Birth of Jesus and 2 ​ coming of Jesus ​ ​ together in many of their prophecies. Understanding their flow of revelation helps us understand the long-term significance of Jesus’ birth to the Jewish people of His day. Jesus’ birth has end-time implications in these ways: removal of sin, physical deliverance from Israel’s ​ enemies, restoration of David’s throne, exaltation/glorification of Jerusalem as God’s throne, Israel (all surviving Jews will be saved) given spiritual leadership over the nations. ​ ​ 1. Micah 5:2 – Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem (King David’s home) is right in the middle of an ​ end-time prophecy about Jesus delivering Israel from Antichrist oppression. st 2. Zechariah 9:9 – Jesus’ coming on a lowly donkey at His 1 ​ coming is right in the ​ ​ middle of an end-time prophecy about Jesus delivering Israel from foreign armies and ruling over the earth. 3. Isaiah 11:1 – Jesus’ birth is in the middle of a prophecy about Jesus’ earthly reign from ​ Jerusalem. 4. Isaiah 9:1-2 (Matthew 4:13-16) – Jesus' first coming partially fulfilled this prophecy, ​ nd but it will be fulfilled entirely at His 2 ​ coming. ​ 5. Isaiah 9:6-7 – Jesus’ birth is in the middle of an end-time prophecy about Israel’s ​ deliverance and Jesus’ earthly reign over the nations. B. The book of Isaiah is the most comprehensive book on the message of the Gospel.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • THE INTERTEXTUAL RELATIONSHIP of DANIEL 12:2 and ISAIAH 26:19: EVIDENCE from QUMRAN and the GREEK VERSIONS Daniel P
    Tyndale Bulletin 51.2 (2000) 305-308. THE INTERTEXTUAL RELATIONSHIP OF DANIEL 12:2 AND ISAIAH 26:19: EVIDENCE FROM QUMRAN AND THE GREEK VERSIONS Daniel P. Bailey The language of ‘awakening’ from the sleep of death in Daniel 12:2 is הָקִיצו ּ apparently borrowed directly from Isaiah 26:19: ‘Awake ( ) and shout for joy, you dwellers in the dust!’ (MT). But while this echo has been recognised by scholars both ancient (Jerome)1 and modern,2 there remains a question about the underlying text. As M. Hengel has rightly noted, the verbal parallel is closer if we assume that the text of Isaiah 26:19 read by the author of Daniel contained not the hif(il יקיצו הַקִיצו ּ imperative preserved in the MT, but the imperfect attested in 1QIsaa.3 The verb forms in Daniel and Isaiah are then identical: Daniel 12:2 וְ ַרבִּים מִיְּשֵׁנֵי אַ ְדמַת־עָפָר יָקִיצו ּ ... Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake...

  • Isaiah 41:1-7, Yahweh Confronts the Nations
    ISAIAH ISAIAH 41:1-7, YAHWEH CONFRONTS THE NATIONS In this chapter of Isaiah, Yahweh assures the Israelites that they need not fear because He is in charge of world affairs. He is using the people and the nations of the world for His purposes just as He is using Israel for His purposes. His purposes for world history will not be thwarted, nor will His plans and purposes for Israel fail to be realized. Those things are inseparable. “The purpose here is one of motivation. How can a condemned and fallen people ever become the Servant of God in the world? How can they begin to exercise the trust that was taught in chs. 13-39? The answer is unmerited grace: grace to defeat their enemies and grace that declares them not forsaken. Obedience that is motivated by fear is minimal obedience; but obedience that is a response to wholly underserved deliverance is of a sort that does not ask about requirements. It asks only if there is not more that needs doing” [John N. Oswalt, The New International Commentary on the Old Testament: The Book of Isaiah: Chapters 40-66, 79]. Most theologians believe verses 1-7 refer to a forensic, or legal, setting and that Cyrus is the one from the east. If Cyrus is in view, which seems to be accurate, he is also serving as a type of another One who will come from the east at the end of the Tribulation (Zech. 14:4). God’s power and justice continue to be matters of discussion here.
