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 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.

ISAIAH 62 PRAYER INITIATIVE January 2018 Prayer Letter – Week 2
ISAIAH 62 PRAYER INITIATIVE January 2018 Prayer Letter – Week 2 Photo Credit: Matze Immendörfer Dear Prayer Partners, This special month of prayer comes at a unique moment for Israel and our ministry. The fate of Jerusalem is back in the headlines following the US decision to recognize the city as Israel’s capital and move the American Embassy here. This set off Muslim protests around the world, although they have not been as violent and widespread as I some forecast. Meantime, there are suddenly mass protests on the streets of Iran openly calling for the ouster of the clerical regime now bringing that nation to ruin. This just shows once again how difficult it is to predict what might happen next in the Middle East. Very few saw the Iranian Revolution coming in 1979, or the Arab Spring in 2011. This is despite all the powerful intelligence services operating in the world today. The United States alone has 17 major intelligence agencies which spend billions of dollars to stay abreast of global developments. They gather reams of information from spies and hi-tech surveillance that is then pored over by trained analysts. They even compile personality profiles on key world leaders to assess how they might react in times of crisis. And yet they still get surprised at every turn. Thankfully, as Christians we do not need to be caught unaware of what lies ahead. For we have the Bible and the Holy Spirit to show us things to come. The Word and Spirit of God are far more powerful and accurate than all the intelligence agencies in the world.

The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church
Anke Wanger THE-733 1 Student Name: ANKE WANGER Student Country: ETHIOPIA Program: MTH Course Code or Name: THE-733 This paper uses [x] US or [ ] UK standards for spelling and punctuation The Biblical Canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church 1) Introduction The topic of Biblical canon formation is a wide one, and has received increased attention in the last few decades, as many ancient manuscripts have been discovered, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the question arose as to whether the composition of the current Biblical canon(s) should be re-evaluated based on these and other findings. Not that the question had actually been settled before, as can be observed from the various Church councils throughout the last two thousand years with their decisions, and the fact that different Christian denominations often have very different books included in their Biblical Canons. Even Churches who are in communion with each other disagree over the question of which books belong in the Holy Bible. One Church which occupies a unique position in this regard is the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahdo Church. Currently, it is the only Church whose Bible is comprised of Anke Wanger THE-733 2 81 Books in total, 46 in the Old Testament, and 35 in the New Testament.1 It is also the biggest Bible, according to the number of books: Protestant Bibles usually contain 66 books, Roman Catholic Bibles 73, and Eastern Orthodox Bibles have around 76 books, sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on their belonging to the Greek Orthodox, Slavonic Orthodox, or Georgian

The First Reading of Scripture Is Isaiah 62:1-5
The First Reading of Scripture is Isaiah 62:1-5: 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the LORD delights in you, and your land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. The Second Reading is from John 2:1-11: 1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to Jesus, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

Sunday, January 17, 2016 Sermon Isaiah 62:1-5; Psalm 36:5-10
Sunday, January 17, 2016 Sermon Isaiah 62:1-5; Psalm 36:5-10; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; John 2:1-11 “For Zion’s sake, I will not keep silent.” An often overlooked name that is significant. Jeruslam, Jeru-shalom, means city of peace. God is the God of peace and the world is constantly at war, against God and sinful humans one against the other. The new Jerusalem, the city of God, is referred to as Zion throughout Scripture. It is the place of the remnant. Hear clearly that our Lord will firmly and unalterably pursue those who are and will be in Him. He is the lover who will not rest until His beloved is safely in His arms. He is more than faithful and has planned all things for the sake of those who will be with Him in Zion forever. What does this mean in light of where we are and the things we see before us? Knowing that God will not rest in His pursuit of us, should we rest and be indifferent? What attracted me to you, what allured me to come into your midst was the love of the Lord you demonstrated for the world and for each other. My prayer, my goal, my hope is that this love may continuously be made more real with each passing day. (Holding up a sheet of blank paper) You see this page? It is empty, for it is the story that shall be written of our time together. What gets written remains to be seen.
