Grow Class Isaiah 36-37 Grow Class Isaiah 36-37 Chapter 36 ● While looking at the oracles from chapters 28-29, we noted that the message of Isaiah was about trusting in God. Judah had made a covenant with Egypt, whom Isaiah compared to a covenant with death. In this story, Judah and her king Hezekiah are asked to place their trust in God in the face of overwhelming military might. ● It was the 14th year of Hezekiah’s reign as King in Jerusalem, the year being 701 BC. ● Sennacherib was the King of the Ayysrian Army, and sent a spokesperson from Lachish, an important Garrison city about 30 miles west from Jerusalem, to Jerusalem to partner with Sennacherib ● The spot in which the spokesperson made his heed to the people was the same spot in which Isaiah had confronted Ahaz in the 7th chapter, which would remind us that the earlier Judean King was told not to trust the Assyrians, but Ahz did not listen to the given advice which is where they find themselves in this situation ● The claim was made that the Lord had told him to conquer this city ● The officials of Hezekiah came out to receive the spokesperson’s message, those officials were Eliakim who was in charge of the palace, Shebna the court secretary, and Joah the court historian, these were all very high ranking positions in the Royal court of sorts ● The goal of the given speech was to scare Hezekiah and the people, a form of persuasion for their surrender ● He would question why Hezekiah would resist in surrendering or joining the King of Assyria, basically the same thing. He would ask whether he was ready or prepared to face such military power, could they even stand up to resist them? ● He would talk about how Judah has Egypt as an ally but he called them the splintered reed of a staff, and we all know, reeds ain’t stiff. It wasn’t that Israel wasn’t strong, they just couldn’t be trusted, a point that the Lord had already been making through Isaiah anyhow ● He then talked about how they really can’t stand up against Sennacherib, he says that “I would give y’all 2 thousand horses, if you can find riders for them”. This man is really milking his military might here ● His last appeal is that the Lord, would tell him to strike down this place and people, so just give up, your own God is sending me against you ● Now in the past this is something that the Lord has in fact done, but this is not one of those cases as we can see ● What do we see through all the appeals that he has been making? What is revealed about the heart of this official and Sennacherib? ● What has been doing throughout these 30 miles? We see he’s been thinking! He’s attacking their own military confidence, their alliances, and their spirituality, trying to bring them down in every way possible, total dissemination. ● The officials of Hezekiah did not want the Royal official from Assyria to speak in their tongue as to not scare the people, they did not honor that and spoke even louder, claiming that they should know what they are getting into ● The Assyrians spoke the dialect of Akkadian, while the Judeans spoke Hebrew, so the Official was probably speaking hebrew at this time as well ● But they requested that they speak Aramiac, which means maybe that they really did not want their people to hear what was being said ● Why do you suppose they wouldn’t want them to hear? Does it reveal anything about the heart of the leaders, the Kings? Does it reveal anything about the faith of the people? ● He continued to go on and make the threat that the people of Judea would drink their own urine, and eat their own excrement, that is what awaits them in their opposition, gross. ● Also makes the claim that neither their King nor their God can even save them, goes back on his spiritual appeal in that sense ● Waited for a response, but the people would remain silent, as King Hezekiah would have commanded them to Chapter 37 ● Hezekiah heard the report, was in great distress,he would tear his clothes and put on sackcloth, which was a posture of mourning and discomfort, as reflected in the clothes that were worn ● Hezekiah relayed his distress to Eliakim, who was in charge of the palace, Shebna the court secretary, and the leading priests, and sent them to the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah was not only recognized for his relationship and connection to God, but The King also desired Isaiah’s intercessory prayers also, to pray on behalf of another, in addition to his general connection with God to plead for their rescue ● This also reflects Hezekiah’s understanding or familiarity of who God was, as he would know who to go to for such prayers and requests ● Isaiah would send a message back to Hezekiah saying not to be because the Lord says that they have blasphemed his name, and he is going to return to his land, and will fall by the sword ● The Lord would send out a deceitful spirit to Sennacherib that would draw his attention to Jerusalem. This spirit of deception has been sent out before, if not this one then one like it. An evil spirit would be sent out to torment Saul in 1 Samuel 16:14 and a lying spirit sent to deceive King Ahab ● Immediately we see from the next message sent to Hezekiah that Sennacherib is already focused elsewhere rather than on the immediate siege and conquering of Jerusalem. ● Sennacherib would send a message saying not to believe The Lord their God, because they are aware of the damage he has caused and is capable of, then he lists the nations conquered, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, the Edenites in Telassar. The King of Hamath, the King of Arpad, the king of the city Sepharvaim, Henna, and Ivvah ● Hezekiah would take the letter, and spread it before the Lord at the Lord’s temple ● He prays a prayer asking the Lord to open His eyes to see the ways in which Sennacherib is mocking the Lord, and that the Lord would save them so all can see His glory and power ● Hezekeiah addresses the Lord and His power by describing the beings in which the Lord is enthroned between, the Cherubim ● The Cherubim were/ are among the most powerful creations of God, and they are often seen in the most holy places. This specific instance refers to their wings and their covering of the ark of the covenant , with heads bowed low so as to not be overwhelmed by the glory and splendor of God ● Hezekiah, in his prayer would address how the name of the Lord was mocked, and desires retribution ● God’s message for Hezekiah is much briefer - he and a remnant of Judah will eat the produce of the land, not just this year but in proceeding years. ● Isaiah sent a message of the Lord saying, He knows, He knows everything, and that He will put a hook in his nose and bit in his mouth, and he will go back the way he came ● The hook in nose referenced a prisoners posture, as that was something often done for prisoners as they are taken into exile ● How does the descriptions of the Lord’s response to Hezekiah strike you? What is something you saw or were impacted by? ● Says there will be a sign, the sign will be that that year they will eat the food that grows on it’s own, the next year the food that grows from that. But in the final year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. The remnants of the house of Judah will take root downward and bear fruit upward. ● A remnant will go out from jerusalem and survivors from mount Zion, the zeal of the Lord will accomplish this, the Lord will keep His word to David ● The Lord says that the King of Assyria won’t touch the city. No arrow will be shot and no shield will come before crazy to think this is the power of the Lord. The God that we worship is insane ● What does this reveal about the God of Israel? What does this reveal about the state of man in comparison to who God is. ● The angel of the Lord went down and 180,000 in the camp of the Assyrians, peeps got up the next morning and there were dead bodies on the ground, no cause of death was pronounced, no real “battle” was had. Some scholars speculate disease, though this is not exactly alluded to in the text, this would again take place in 701 BC ● King Sennacherib survived, left camp, and returned home to Nineveh. ● One day he was worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroch. Two notes: 1. One day, leads us to believe that we don’t know how soon this would happen. Meaning that some time had passed since the slaying of his army at the Assyrian camp. Linking this next even to his death (which would take place in 683 BC), we believe that about 20 years have passed. 2. Nisroch was an unknown Assyrian god. It was more than likely a name the Hebrews gave to this specific god ● His son's Adramelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword (fulfilling the word the Lord had brought against him) and escaped to the land of Arat, a place located around the region of Lake Van North of Assyria.

    J. Barton Payne, "The Unity of Isaiah: Evidence From Chapters 36-39," Bulletin of the Evangelical Theological Society 6.2 (May 1963): 50-56. The Unity of Isaiah: Evidence from Chapters 36-39 J. Barton Payne [p.50] The four chapters of Isaiah 36-39 that appear also in II Kings 18-20 and that contain historical dialog between the prophet and his king, Hezekiah, have produced more critical debate than any other section of I and II Kings.1 They furnish also some of our primary evidence for the unity of the Book of Isaiah,2 forming, as Delitzsch has put it, a “bridge” to the prophecies that follow.3 A thorough treatment of this evidence hence becomes impossible under present limitations. The writer would seek, however, to indicate three specific areas within this larger discussion in which sharpened awareness may contribute to a defense of the total authority of Scripture. L. CONDITIONING FACTORS IN EVANGELICALISM’S APPROACH TO ISAIAH 36-39 If we take, for example, such a question as the relation of Isaiah 36-39 to II Kings 18-20, it appears at the outset that liberal and conservative writers reach opposite conclusions because of their respective methodologies. The liberal, e.g. S.R. Driver, limits his admissable evidence to inductive comparisons of literary detail and of thematic concepts; he thus decides in favor of the priority of Kings.4 The conservative, e.g. Franz Delitzsch, while utilizing historical prose style as a confirmatory factor, concentrates on two reasons that arise (1) out of an analogy with other sections of Kings and Isaiah and (2) out of the authority of Chronicles, deductively applied to the chapters in question; he thus insists upon the originality of Isaiah.5 Bible believing scholars appear to be conditioned by five distinctive principles.

INTRODUCTION Many attempting to make sense of prophetic literature in the Hebrew Bible would echo Carroll's assessment that "[t]o the modern reader the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel are virtually incomprehensible as books."1 For Carroll, the problem with reading these books as "books" is that there is a confusing mixture of prose and poetry, a lack of coherent order and arrange­ ment, and a shortage of necessary contextual information needed for accu­ rate interpretation.2 Despite the difficult compositional and historical issues associated with the book of Jeremiah, there is a growing consensus that

    Step into Isaiah the 37th chapter! (King Hezekiah’s prayer and the Lord’s response) Isaiah 37:1-38 (NKJV) 1 And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD. 2 Then he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3 And they said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah: 'This day is a day of trouble and rebuke and blasphemy; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth. 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.' " 5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6 And Isaiah said to them, "Thus shall you say to your master, 'Thus says the LORD: "Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me. 7 Surely I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."

  • Who Is the Daughter of Babylon?
    WHO IS THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON? ● Babylon was initially a minor city-state, and controlled little surrounding territory; its first four Amorite rulers did not assume the title of king. The older and more powerful states of Assyria, Elam, Isin, and Larsa overshadowed Babylon until it became the capital of Hammurabi's short-lived empire about a century later. Hammurabi (r. 1792–1750 BC) is famous for codifying the laws of Babylonia into the Code of Hammurabi. He conquered all of the cities and city states of southern Mesopotamia, including Isin, Larsa, Ur, Uruk, Nippur, Lagash, Eridu, Kish, Adab, Eshnunna, Akshak, Akkad, Shuruppak, Bad-tibira, Sippar, and Girsu, coalescing them into one kingdom, ruled from Babylon. Hammurabi also invaded and conquered Elam to the east, and the kingdoms of Mari and Ebla to the northwest. After a protracted struggle with the powerful Assyrian king Ishme-Dagan of the Old Assyrian Empire, he forced his successor to pay tribute late in his reign, spreading Babylonian power to Assyria's Hattian and Hurrian colonies in Asia Minor. After the reign of Hammurabi, the whole of southern Mesopotamia came to be known as Babylonia, whereas the north had already coalesced centuries before into Assyria. From this time, Babylon supplanted Nippur and Eridu as the major religious centers of southern Mesopotamia. Hammurabi's empire destabilized after his death. Assyrians defeated and drove out the Babylonians and Amorites. The far south of Mesopotamia broke away, forming the native Sealand Dynasty, and the Elamites appropriated territory in eastern Mesopotamia. The Amorite dynasty remained in power in Babylon, which again became a small city-state.

  • The Origin and History of the Samaritans
    Grace Theological Journal 5.1 (1984) 47-75 THE ORIGIN AND HISTORY OF THE SAMARITANS WAYNE A. BRINDLE The development of Samaritanism and its alienation from Juda­ ism was a process that began with the division of the kingdom of Israel, and continued through successive incidents which promoted antagonism, including the importation of foreign colonists into Sa­ maria by Assyria, the rejection of the new Samaritan community by the Jews, the building of a rival temple on Mt. Gerizim, the political and religious opportunism of the Samaritans, and the destruction of both the Samaritan temple and their capital of Shechem by John Hyrcanus during the second century B.C. The Samaritan religion at the time of Jesus had become Mosaic and quasi-Sadducean, but strongly anti-Jewish. Jesus recognized their heathen origins and the falsity of their religious claims. * * * INTRODUCTION ELATIONS between the Jews and the Samaritans were always R strained. Jesus ben Sirach (ca. 180 B.C.) referred to the Samari­ tans as "the foolish people that dwell in Shechem" (Sir 50:26). There is a tradition that 300 priests and 300 rabbis once gathered in the temple court in Jerusalem to curse the Samaritans with all the curses in the Law of Moses. When the Jews wanted to curse Jesus Christ, they called him demon-possessed and a Samaritan in one breath (J ohn 8:48). The Samaritans are important to biblical studies for several reasons: 1 (1) They claim to be the remnant of the kingdom of Israel, specifically of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, with priests of the line of Aaron/ Levi.

  • 2 Kings Chapter 19
    2 Kings Chapter 19 2 Kings 19:1 "And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD." “Hezekiah” puts on the traditional garments of mourning and grief (Joel 1:13). “Rent … sackcloth” (see note on 6:30). A reaction that symbolized Hezekiah’s grief, repentance and contrition. The nation had to repent and the king had to lead the way. Tearing clothes was a sign of deep mourning, often the result of sorrow or dismay. In his moment of need, Hezekiah humbled himself and prayed for help. “House of the LORD” (see note on Isa. 37:1). In the previous lesson, Hezekiah's three men had come back and told him of the terrible insults the king of Assyria had made about Hezekiah and Judah, but worst, about the LORD. When Hezekiah heard the abominable things they had said about the LORD, he tore his clothes and went to the temple to pray. Hezekiah went for help to his LORD. 2 Kings 19:2 "And he sent Eliakim, which [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz." “Elders of the priests” (see note on Isa. 37:2). “Isaiah the prophet” had full access to the king (chapters 18-20 are paralleled in Isa. 36-39).

  • Chastised Rulers in the Ancient Near East
    Chastised Rulers in the Ancient Near East Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree doctor of philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By J. H. Price, M.A., B.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Samuel A. Meier, Advisor Daniel Frank Carolina López-Ruiz Bill T. Arnold Copyright by J. H. Price 2015 Abstract In the ancient world, kings were a common subject of literary activity, as they played significant social, economic, and religious roles in the ancient Near East. Unsurprisingly, the praiseworthy deeds of kings were often memorialized in ancient literature. However, in some texts kings were remembered for criminal acts that brought punishment from the god(s). From these documents, which date from the second to the first millennium BCE, we learn that royal acts of sacrilege were believed to have altered the fate of the offending king, his people, or his nation. These chastised rulers are the subject of this this dissertation. In the pages that follow, the violations committed by these rulers are collected, explained, and compared, as are the divine punishments that resulted from royal sacrilege. Though attestations are concentrated in the Hebrew Bible and Mesopotamian literature, the very fact that the chastised ruler type also surfaces in Ugaritic, Hittite, and Northwest Semitic texts suggests that the concept was an integral part of ancient near eastern kingship ideologies. Thus, this dissertation will also explain the relationship between kings and gods and the unifying aspect of kingship that gave rise to the chastised ruler concept across the ancient Near East.

  • The Use of Apologetics in the Book of Isaiah
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE USE OF APOLOGETICS IN THE BOOK OF ISAIAH A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO DR. RANDALL PRICE AND COMMITTEE IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PHD IN THEOLOGY AND APOLOGETICS LIBERTY UNIVERSITY RAWLINGS SCHOOL OF DIVINITY BY DANIEL SLOAN LYNCHBURG, VA Copyright © 2020 by Daniel R. Sloan All Rights Reserved ii LIBERTY UNIVERSITY RAWLINGS SCHOOL OF DIVINITY DISSERTATION APPROVAL SHEET ___________________________ J. RANDALL PRICE Ph.D. CHAIR ________________________ EDWARD E. HINDSON Th.D. FIRST READER _______________________ MARK ALLEN Ph.D. SECOND READER iii ABSTRACT Isaiah used apologetics in three distinct areas: Yahweh’s creation and sovereign control (Past), Yahweh’s divine intervention in delivering Judah (present) and Yahweh as the controller of the future (Immediate, Exilic, Messianic and eschatological) to argue that Yahweh was the one true God, unique and superior to all pagan deities, to both his contemporary audience and to future generations. In chapter one, the research questions are addressed, a literary review is presented, and the methodology of the dissertation is given. In chapter two, the dissertation addresses how the book of Isaiah argues apologetically that Yahweh is the Creator and therefore is incomparable. In chapter three, the dissertation presents how the book of Isaiah argues apologetically that Yahweh’s ability to divinely intervene in history shows His incomparability. In chapter four, the dissertation addresses how the book of Isaiah argues apologetically that Yahweh can know and predict the future and therefore is incomparable. A conclusion is given in which the theological and apologetic implications are addressed and further areas of research is identified.
