The Gospel of Isaiah Study No. 143

Of all the books of the Old Testament, the Book of the prophet Isaiah is the one most like the New Testament. Isaiah tells us how to understand the Bible, by putting line upon line, and letting the Bible interpret itself. Using this method of interpretation on the Book of Isaiah itself, we find that several major messages are presented:

Message of Isaiah

· God exists, and we should praise Him for His greatness.

· The Gospel message is a call to repentance and returning to the Lord.

· Isaiah prophesies of the coming Messiah who would be born of a virgin, magnify the law, and suffer and die for our sins.

· Israel will rebel against God, be punished, and taken into captivity for their sins.

· Israel’s sins are false prophets, false feasts and false worship, false leaders, and idolatry.

· God will judge the world in the Day of the Lord.

· In the midst of judgment, God will extend mercy. There will be a Place of Safety, and a Second Exodus of God’s people out of captivity.

· The Good News of the World Tomorrow is that there will be a resurrection of the dead, and a New Covenant with Israel, as the Lord returns and establishes the Millennium on this earth. There will be universal re-education, agriculture will be restored, and the Gentiles will be saved.

· The new heavens and new earth shall remain forever. From one New Moon and Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before the Eternal.

Isaiah means "the Eternal is Salvation," and is a name synonymous with Joshua (Jesus) and Hosea. Isaiah dates his prophecy between 760 and 695 B.C., as he prophesied from the time of Uzziah to Hezekiah (Isaiah 1:1). From the year Uzziah died (Isaiah 6:1) to the fourteenth year of Hezekiah (Isaiah 36:1) is a span of 46 years. Hebrew tradition says Isaiah was sawn in two by King Manasseh (see Hebrews 11:37). If this is so, then Isaiah prophesied for at least 60 years. Tradition also says that Isaiah was the cousin of King Uzziah.

Isaiah was married and had at least two sons (Isaiah 8:18, 7:3). He ministered when Assyria was the great Middle Eastern power, and when Assyria invaded Palestine and took the northern Israel captive (721 B.C.). God raised up Isaiah to warn Judah that she too would go into captivity for her many sins, unless she repented.

Isaiah’s message is for us, today! The church, spiritual Israel, is laden with iniquity and has grievously departed from God’s ways. There is still time to repent and return to the Eternal, but the time is very short. The Almighty’s mercy is available, but if we do not seek His mercy quickly, His swift judgments are sure.

Isaiah’s prophetic message sounds much like the Gospel of the New Testament. There is much of the basic Gospel message of repentance and condemnation of Israel’s sins, which was the core message of the Messiah. Lambasting the false prophets and hypocritical leaders was a common theme of Isaiah and Jesus Christ.

Because of their sins, modern Israel will go into captivity, and after being punished, will be regathered in a "Second Exodus," which will be greater than the first exodus. The Second Exodus is a theme echoed by other Old Testament prophets, and is a vital message that needs to be proclaimed today. After the dreadful and fearsome Day of the Lord, Isaiah gives the good news of the Kingdom of God, the Millennium. God’s mercy in the midst of His judgment shows at once the justice and loving kindness of our Heavenly Father. Some of the most beautiful passages of the Holy Scriptures are contained in the book of Isaiah. The Almighty is going to stop sin and bring about a New Heavens and a New Earth. This is really good news! That is why Isaiah has a gospel message.

Paul N. Benware, in Survey of the Old Testament (Moody Press, 1988), pages 194-197, says that the key word of Isaiah is "Servant of the Lord." See Isaiah 41:8-10; 42:1-7; 42:19-35; 43:10; 44:1-2, 21; 48:20-22; 49:1-13; 50:4-11; 52:13—53:12. Isaiah uses the term "servant" three ways: in reference to all Israel (41:8), in reference to a remnant within Israel (43:10), and in reference to the coming Messiah (52:13—53:12). The greatest servant is the Messiah, and His work of redeeming mankind from sin, Mark 10:45. The Almighty is not only a God of justice and judgment. He is a God of mercy, love and kindness. He not only condemns and punishes sin, He provides a way whereby sin can be defeated. Isaiah may not have understood fully everything he was inspired to write. Of all the prophets, Isaiah most clearly wrote beforehand about the sufferings of the Messiah, and the glory that would follow in His Kingdom, I Peter 1:10-11.

Considering all this, it is proper to refer to Isaiah’s book as "The Gospel of Isaiah." Truly, the plan of Salvation is clearly presented by Isaiah the son of Amoz.

The method of using "line upon line" of scripture to explain and understand other scriptures is utilized in this study. I have paraphrased portions of Isaiah, and organized them according to topic. You are encouraged to follow along in your own Bible.

56:1-7 Blessed is the man who keeps the Sabbath. I will give the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths an everlasting name. Strangers who keep the Sabbath will be joyful in God’s house of prayer.

3:8-9 Jerusalem and Judah are ruined, because their tongue and doings are against the Lord. They unashamedly boast of their sins, like Sodom.

30:9-11 Rebellious, lying people who will not hear law of Lord, who say to the prophets, "Prophecy not right things, speak smooth things, deceits, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us."

48:1-19 Israel claims to be following God, but is a transgressor, stubbornly refusing to harken to His commandments, which lead to peace.

50:1 For your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and your mother is divorced.

65:1-16 I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people that provoke me to anger continually. They say "I am holier than thou," yet they eat pork and burn incense upon the mountains. When I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye didn’t hear, but did evil.

3:1-12 The Lord shall take away bread and water, and women and babes shall rule over them.

6:11-12 Cities shall be wasted, without inhabitant, land desolate.

29:9-16 Prophets and rulers are drunken, but not with wine. The Lord has poured out upon them the spirit of deep sleep, so that the Bible is a sealed book, which they cannot read or understand. Their lips honor Me, but their heart is far from Me. They seek to hide their counsel from the Lord, turning things upside down.

29:21 They make a man an offender for a word, and turn aside the just.

56:9-12 Blind watchmen, greedy dogs, these shepherds are out for selfish gain and drunkenness.

1:21-23 The faithful city has become an harlot, there is bribery and oppression of the fatherless and the widow.

3:1-7 The Lord shall take away leaders, prophets, soldiers. Children and babes shall rule over them. Nobody will want to be the ruler.

43:27-28 Thy teachers have transgressed against Me, bringing a curse to Israel.

66:5 Your brethren that hated you, cast you out for my name’s sake.

31:7 In that day, every man shall cast away his idols of silver and gold, which your own hands have made for you a sin.

42:17 They shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images.

44:9-20 Idol making is vanity; their eyes are shut, they cannot understand, for they are deceived.

45:20 They have no knowledge that set up graven images, and pray to a god that cannot save.

46:6-7 They fashion their gods out of gold and silver, which cannot answer nor save from trouble.

34:1-17 God’s sword shall come down on Idumea (Edom) in a great slaughter, the day of the Lord’s vengeance, year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion. The land shall become burning pitch.

24:1-6 Lord is going to make the earth waste and spoiled, defiled, because they have transgressed His laws, broken the covenant, therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

24:18-20 Foundations of the earth do shake, earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard.

30:31 Through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down.

Let now the astrologers save you, Babylon, from the things that shall come upon you.
