INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF ISAIAH

This book, as is true of all the prophetical books, derives its name from the prophet whose messages it records. The unity of Isaiah, a problem related to authorship and contents, has been the subject of much debate. While it is widely accepted that the book of Isaiah is rooted in a historic prophet called Isaiah, who lived in the Kingdom of Judah during the 8th century BCE, it is also widely accepted that this prophet did not write the entire book of Isaiah. There is probably a period of a few decades between the writing of the first 39 chapters and the latter 27 and each section carries its own message. The book of Isaiah can be divided into two based on the message which it carries. Below is the two main division of Isaiah based on message:

Warnings of judgment and promises of subsequent restoration for Jerusalem, Judah and the nations (1–33)
Judgment has already taken place and restoration is at hand (34–66)

BOOK SUMMARY

This book of prophecy was written by one of the greatest Hebrew prophets. Isaiah was called by God to prophesy to Judah during the reign of kings Uzziah, Jothan, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He urged the people to turn back to God and stop worshiping idols, and he warned them what would happen if they didn’t. But even while he was saying this, he knew the people wouldn’t respond. Then I said,“How long, O Lord?” And He said: “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, and the LORD removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land” (6:11-12). Isaiah’s prophecies foretold the fate of Judah and the nations who stood against God’s people. In many cases, these prophecies have a dual fulfillment — referring to the Babylonian and Assyrian captivities, and to the future judgment of the world upon Christ’s second coming at the end of the tribulation.

After proclaiming the holiness and justice of God and His judgments on those who don’t obey Him in the first 39 chapters, Isaiah turns to a message of hope. He prophesies a day when the Messiah would come and suffer and then come again to reign over the nation in glory. The book ends with a picture of the final redemption of Israel and the nations in a new heaven and new earth, where God and his people meet in glory.

Themes: 

God’s holiness opposes all human hypocrisy and pride (1:10–17; 2:10–17; 10:33–34; 13:11; 16:6; 23:9; 28:1–4; 58:1–12; 66:1–4). 

 

God’s wrath is to be feared (5:25; 9:12, 17, 19, 21; 10:4–6; 13:9, 13; 30:27; 34:2; 59:18; 63:1–6; 66:15–16, 24) 

 

God’s judgment will ultimately end with a joyful triumph of his grace (1:9; 6:1–12:6; 35:1–10; 40:1–2; 49:13–16; 51:3; 54:7–8; 55:12–13) 

 

God’s servant is the only hope for the world. He is the promised Davidic king (4:2; 7:14; 9:2–7; 11:1–10), the servant of the Lord (42:1–9; 49:1–13; 50:4–9; 52:13–53:12), the anointed preacher of the gospel (61:1–3), and the lone conqueror over all evil (63:1–6). 

 

God's faithfulness ought to motivate God’s people toward faith and obedience (56:1–2; 62:1– 64:12).

WHY SHOULD I READ AND STUDY THE BOOK OF ISAIAH?

Reading the book of Isaiah comes with a lot of blessings that one cannot number. For instance, the book by itself in nature is a prophecy which talks about yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is to say, the book of Isaiah reveals who you were yesterday without Christ, who you are today in Christ and where you will be tomorrow in Christ. The book is also one of the fewer books to have being quoted countless times in the gospel and the letters of Paul. This is to say that, before the conception and birth of the Messiah, Prophet Isaiah spoke of Messiah and His Form of government. . In order to understand Isaiah, we must understand that all his predictions revolve around Christ’s two comings. Christ came the first time as the suffering, rejected Messiah to die for the sins of the people (Isaiah 53). At His second coming to earth, when Christ will set up His kingdom, Israel will be regathered to Palestine from its worldwide dispersion and will see fulfillment of the promised messianic kingdom. 

This book also has a message of Hope and restoration which are very applicable in our present lives. The Israelites did the worse before God and God’s glory left them and they went into captivity but God being a Loving Father promised them deliverance and restoration. Beloved, it is not also late for you. As you begin to read this book of Isaiah, God’s Spirit will touch you and make a way out of a rock for you.
