The Harvester Podcast is brought to you by the Florida School of Preaching. Listen weekly to take a dive into biblical topics and thoughtful studies on things that matter to our eternal souls.
Welcome to the Harvester Podcast.
We are happy to be here to start a new
season,
season six.
I am one of the hosts, Brian Kenyon,
and with me is
Steven Ford
and Forrest is busy. He's normally going
to be with us,
and we expect to see him again in episode
three or four-ish.
But he's busy now, and all of us are busy
preachers,
and so I'm just thankful that Stephen is
able to be here.
And we are able to start this magnificent
season.
And it's magnificent, not because of your
host,
but because of the topic, we are going to
be addressing the theme.
Minoring in the majors. The major
prophets,
that is, and by minoring we mean we're
just going to give a couple lessons from
each
of the books of the major prophets,
and then ~ we will have a a good ~ series
going.
And this is a follow-up our majoring in
the minors that we just completed
a while ago, and that was dealing with the
minor prophets.
But in this first episode, we want to just
kind of introduce
The book of Isaiah, we'll start with
Isaiah.
In fact, we'll follow those prophets as
they are ~ in the English Bibles.
it's important to note that a prophet is
just simply a mouthpiece,
a mouthpiece for someone. And I think one
of the greatest examples of this
is found in Exodus chapter 4, verses 10
through 15,
where Moses is giving an excuse that he is
not eloquent,
so he can't go before Pharaoh to say,
Let God's people go. But as we know,
God always provides a way.
And so he tells them in those passages,
those verses, that he will provide Aaron,
his brother, to be his mouthpiece.
And then in Exodus 7, verse 1,
it actually calls Aaron Moses' prophet.
And so a prophet is simply a mouthpiece
for God.
And we often think of prophets as
foretelling the future,
which they do. In fact, Isaiah is going to
do a whole lot of that.
But also prophets really were more like
preachers.
And I did not invent this term,
and I'm sure Stevens heard this term
before,
but forth telling. You know, prophets
didn't just foretell,
but they forth tell. That is, they
explained what was going on at
the moment that they were living.
And so we see that throughout the the
prophets as well.
But Isaiah is very ~ interesting.
In fact, he's a very one of the major
prophets,
obviously, and he is sometimes called the
messianic prophet,
because maybe well
I don't know about per capita verses,
but he sure does talk a lot about the
Messiah.
Now in Isaiah 1 1, it just simply says the
vision Isaiah the son of Amos,
which he saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah,
Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of
Judah.
And so he is prophesying during this
Assyrian period.
Now in as far as his family background is
concerned,
he's a son of Amaz with a Z.
In English it comes out with a Z,
and this is to indicate perhaps that he is
not the son of the prophet Amos,
but he is a son of Amaz that we don't know
much about other than his mention
in the book here. But Jewish tradition
suggests that Amos was the brother
of King Amaziah, who was the father of
Uzziah.
Thus making Isaiah of royal lineage,
but again that's just Jewish tradition.
We do not know that. He was married in
chapter eight,
verse three. His wife is referred to as
the prophetess.
Also he had two sons, and I don't know,
Stephen, if you know how to pronounce
these guys,
but Shir Jashab in chapter seven,
verse three, and that son's name means a
remnant shall return.
And then Maher Shalahashbaz.
And that of course I think is the longest
name in the Bible.
Have you heard that before?
Yeah, okay, so that's the one that Dan
Winkler had a good time with.
In
fact, there's some stickers you can get.
And I don't know if I got one or not,
but I know my granddaughter did when she
was at ~ PTP Branson.
But anyway, but his name means the spoil
speedeth,
the prey hasteneth. Or sometimes swift is
the booty,
speedy is the prey. and booty there means
the captured treasure.
That a pirate would get pirate would get
or something like that.
But anyway. And then Isaiah served God in
many ways.
In fact, you know, some say he was a
theologian,
~ some say he was a historian.
And based upon the context of the book,
he seems to have been a great statesman,
if you will. ~ he's very articulate in
what he says.
And it's kind of like, you know,
God used the backgrounds of these biblical
writers.
Even though every word, every jot and
tittle,
as it were, were exactly as God would have
it.
And so, but in the process of inspiration,
he did use their backgrounds, and so we
see that through Isaiah.
In other words, Isaiah's writings differ a
little bit in style and
so forth in Daniel or Jeremiah and so
forth.
All right, and so ~ and it is said,
tradition does say there's no objective
proof on this,
but tradition does say that Isaiah was
sawn asunder as per Hebrews eleven thirty
seven,
but again, ~ we don't know that for sure
either.
All right, but Isaiah does live.
We do know that he lived, and he mentions
the kings in verse one in
the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz,
and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. And so he
lived during that Assyrian period.
But and Steve and I were just mentioning
this a moment ago off off the air,
but ~ Isaiah, you know, he's prophesied
in great detail about the Bab not only the
Assyrian situation,
but the Babylonian situation and then the
Medo Persian when they would return from
captivity. And because of that,
much is, you know, said about the
canonicity or the you know,
the accuracy of or, you know, is this
written by one Isaiah and we're gonna come
to that in just a moment. But that's why
it is,
because he speaks in so much detail as if
he were there
And all three of those eras where Assyria
ruled and then Babylon ruled
and then Medo-Persia. All right,
he is, as he says in chapter 1,
verse 1, he writes during the days of
these Judean kings,
and this was definitely a time when
Assyria dominated the world.
And so the book of Isaiah was written
primarily to address the Assyrian crisis,
which not only threatened the physical
existence of God's people.
Both Israel and Judah, but it also
threatened their understanding of God's
plan.
The Assyrian invasion and eventual
deportation of the northern kingdom
in about 722 BC placed a great deal of
doubt as to God's ability
to work out his plan of a messianic
kingdom.
this was really the first, I guess we
could say the first,
worldwide major threat.
you know, coming coming on the divided
kingdom anyway.
I mean, I Israel always had their enemies.
Right. But I'm just thinking there was no
no enemy quite like this
~ that was coming. And we'll see like at
the end,
you know, in chapters thirty six through
thirty nine of Isaiah's where
you have Sennacherib coming down and
bragging in his own chronicles,
not not an inspiration, but in his own
chronicles,
how he had Hezekiah shut up like a bird in
a cage.
Yeah, that's one of the very neat things
about Isaiah's prophecy.
You just mentioned, maybe we'll get into
it a little bit later,
how there's some, not that it is essential
or necessary to have these things,
but it's interesting that we do have these
things,
these non-biblical, secular accounts that
completely corroborate
the biblical record. And so you can go in
museums and see Seneca Rib's prism
and read what he says, that he has,
has kind of shut up.
However, you don't read about him winning
the victory,
which is kind of just a fascinating thing.
It's something that when we were in D.C.,
we went to all these different museums and
all the stuff they show.
You know they don't show? They don't show
that.
Of all the different things they show in
these various museums,
Smithsonian and others, they don't
demonstrate how,
you have to go to the Bible Museum to see
this stuff.
That's actual, real, literal history.
So why isn't it in there? They talk about
a caveman and all this kind of stuff.
but that stuff isn't in there.
That's a sidebar, but I just kinda wanted
to.
It backs up what the Bible says,
even though we don't need that to know the
Bible,
but it d it definitely is an awesome,
awesome thing. All right, but the entire
invasion again was there,
and so, you know, they're they're
wondering,
can God truly be sovereign when wicked and
godless nations completely destroy God's
people? And it was during this time that,
the northern kingdom was taken taken
captive.
And then, you know, the question would
arise,
are the idols of foreign gods stronger
than Israel's God?
And of course, all the nations around that
time,
unfortunately, even Israel, because they
were very worldly,
you know, their success or victories they
attributed to their gods.
And so if these other nations are
defeating God's people,
what does that say about Israel's God?
And so that would be a question in their
minds.
And then what is the role of God's people
and the future of the Davidic kingdom
if Assyria is going to just tear them all
away and destroy them,
at least in their minds? And so in the
backdrop of the Assyrian crisis,
Isaiah prophetically addresses three
different historical settings,
as we mentioned, which of course has led
some to think that there must
be different Isaiah. And so he addresses
again the historical events
of his ministry, which were from about
seven
forty to seven hundred BC ish,
around in there. And that's in chapters
one through thirty nine of Isaiah.
And then Isaiah addresses period of exile,
which occurred long after his death,
at least for the southern kingdom,
and that's from six hundred five to five
thirty nine BC,
roughly. And that's in chapters forty
through fifty-five.
And then Isaiah addresses the period of
the return,
which that total period, remember they
came back in about three waves and
That total period was about 539 to 400 BC,
but Isaiah's references are probably
restricted just to 539 to 500-ish.
But anyway, throughout each section,
Isaiah gives messianic prophecies,
and there's going to be whole lot of those
in that in that book.
All right, now again, we mentioned the
canonicity of it,
and you know, one one thing is that,
critics of the Bible, they just try to
reduce the Bible to just a merely human
document with no supernatural elements,
but you know, there it's impossible to
look at the prophecies of Isaiah,
just for example, not really any of the
prophecies that we've looked at
in the minor prophets as well,
but it's impossible for these to have been
written
by mere human ingenuity or invention,
because I mean they're so detailed,
so precise that and then then we see the
complete
unmistakable fulfillment of each of these
prophecies that's impossible
for them to be the products of mint.
Absolutely one of the ~ there's two quick
things the one is that even
if you Attempt which you can't but if you
attempt to dismiss some
of the things about Isaiah well these were
other writers later on If you
go back and look at Israel's history
before they even get into the promised
land
God is promising them But if you will obey
me then you will stay on this land
But if you do not obey me you'll be swept
off the land just like
the Canaanites have been and what do you
find Israel?
the nation splits, they have these wicked
kings in Israel,
some good kings in Judah, but overall,
there's a lot of wickedness in the land.
And what does God do? Exactly what he said
he was gonna do.
So you might attempt to dismiss Isaiah,
which again, you cannot do, but you find
that God had already told them what
was gonna happen. the second thing is that
just a people thing
is a psychological thing that we want
to...
kind of be dismissive of our own actions.
The reason I say that is you mentioned how
Israel at various times would look around
at the nations and say, wow, their gods
are winning.
And so what does that say about our God?
What does that tell us about our God if
their God is winning?
Well, God had already told you what was
going to happen.
And if they had just paid attention to the
earlier prophecies that they would
be swept off the land, they'd be taken
into captivity,
all these various things were gonna
happen,
they could see where...
their God had always been in charge,
he had always been in control,
so there's no reason to start to waffle
and think,
~ Jehovah is not in control anymore,
but sometimes we just have this thing,
like what have you done for me lately,
sort of a syndrome, where if we don't see
God actively doing something in our favor,
in the right here and right now,
then we somehow think that he is
dismissive of us,
or he has forgotten us, or those sorts of
things,
when in reality, he's always in control.
His will is always going to be done and we
are always subject to it.
And so we shouldn't be doubtful that he's
in control just because things aren't
going in our favor.
Yeah, and that's very true. And sometimes
we start thinking like the world does.
Right. And that's that's always a bad
thing.
All right, so let's first start out with
the proof,
the canon it proof that Isaiah ~ is
written by Isaiah,
just one Isaiah. And of course two major
areas,
internal evidence, external evidence.
Sometimes internal is called biblical,
sometimes external is called extra
biblical,
but don't freak out with that extra
biblical,
it just simply means evidence outside the
Bible.
Right.
Alright, so far as the internal,
the biblical evidence, evidence found in
the Bible,
the title of the book claims Isaiah as its
author.
Again, chapter one, verse one,
the vision of Isaiah, the son of Amos,
which he saw concerning Judah.
And then he talks about where went when he
did this during the reign of those kings.
But notice he just says the vision,
the whole book, the vision singular of
Isaiah,
which he saw concerning Judah.
And so that's the whole thing.
and so you know no other author is
mentioned in the book,
but the word you know Isaiah's name occurs
many times.
And I'm just gonna read the references,
chapter two, verse one, chapter seven,
verse three, chapter thirteen,
one, chapter twenty, verse two,
chapter thirty-seven, two, and verse six,
and verse twenty-one, chapter
thirty-eight,
one.
And verse 4 and verse 21, chapter 39,
3 and 5, and 8. And so all those
explicitly mention Isaiah.
And then Isaiah is referred to by other
Old Testament writers,
for example, 2 Chronicles 26, 22,
and 2nd Chronicles 32, 32. They mention
Isaiah the prophet.
New Testament writers also refer to Isaiah
repeatedly without
any reference to multiple Isaiahs.
And the thing about that is, and we'll get
to that in just a moment,
but the so-called multiple Isaiahs,
you know, both sections are quoted as one
Isaiah in John 12,
38 through 39. And then of course we have
the eunuch reading ~ what
we know as Isaiah 53 and Acts 8,
28, and several other places where Isaiah
is quoted.
~ but particularly John chapter twelve,
you know, if these these if these were two
Isaiahs.
Jesus didn't know anything about that,
and he's omniscient, but he just quotes
both those sections as if they
are one Isaiah, which of course they are.
Then the external evidence, that is,
evidence outside the actual scriptures,
the inspired scriptures, overwhelmingly
supports the authenticity of Isaiah.
For example, the Septuagint, which you'll
see that sometimes abbreviated with
the Roman numerals LX, which stands for
seventy.
And that was written about 200 BC,
give or take, 50, 60 years. And it gives
no indication that Isaiah
was written by multiple authors.
You know, and even the Koine Greek,
which the Septuagint is the Koine Greek
translation of the Hebrew Old Testament,
and it's one that the apostles ~ used.
And so it doesn't mention anything about
two Isaiahs.
And then the book of Ben Syriac,
or sometimes that's called Ecclesiasticus.
Not to be confused with the biblical book
Ecclesiastes,
but Ecclesiasticus, which is one of those
apocryphal writings written about 190 BC,
makes reference to the writings of Isaiah
that comforted Zion.
And you'll hear that term comfort in
Isaiah 40,
verse 1, and Isaiah 61, verses 1 and 2.
And ~ Ecclesiasticus mentions that in
chapter 48 24,
48 verse 24.
Also the Dead Sea Scrolls, sometimes
referred to as the Qumran writings,
and ~ those were collected,
as best we can tell, about 150 to 100 BC,
although they were not discovered until
the 1940s,
but they go back to 150 to 100 BC.
They contain many fragments which refer to
Isaiah along with
the Great Isaiah Scroll. And that great
Isaiah scroll is found from that.
And that scroll is essentially identical
to that of the normative Masoretic text
of ~ A.D. 950, which indicates that as
early as 150 to 100 BC,
the book was considered of such authority
that its final form
was already well established, and there's
absolutely no indication at
all that there were more than one Isaiah
that wrote that.
And you would think that if anybody,
you know, if if supposedly
you know, Deuterro Isaiah or some
sometimes even they'll talk about three
Isaiahs,
that if there was that many Isaiahs,
that would there would be an indication of
that in 150 to 100 BC,
but no such indication exists.
But yet, in spite of the evidence,
some would deny that Isaiah was written by
a single author.
And those who claim that, and it's kind of
interesting because ~ I guess a lot
with with other things as well,
but the very things that they claim
indicate two writers
or more are the very things that show that
only one writer wrote it.
Yeah, really. And so anyway, so those who
would try to do away with ~ one Isaiah,
and really again, the reason for this is
'cause they want to try
to eliminate the supernatural.
Yeah.
But the historical setting they would say
chapters one through thirty-nine
are eighth century setting because of the
explicit references to the kings that
we read about in Second Kings and Second
Chronicles.
they'd say beginning chapter forty,
the setting changes because they have come
through a war and need clothing.
And so f they would say, quote,
first Isaiah unquote. And if I forget to
put the air quotes,
I'm not if I say first Isaiah,
I'm definitely not going along with this,
but this is what they say.
They say first Isaiah could not have
experienced this.
And they also say that Cyrus was not
around in First Isaiah's life,
you know, which is true, but again,
God knows the future,
Exactly.
and he can tell his prophet about that.
All right, then they would say chapters
fifty six through sixty-six address Jews
after returning to Palestine, an event
impossible for the lifetime
of quote first Isaiah.
Which again is true, but I mean,
you know, it's like God is omniscient and
he knows.
And so, yes,
God can know all that. And then literary
style,
vocabulary, and syntax, ~ many words,
phrases, and styles are different in the
various sections.
For example, Isaiah chapters one through
thirty-nine emphasize the present tense,
they would say, but forty through
sixty-six emphasizes a future tense,
which of course would be
Just right, because Isaiah's talking about
the future.
All right. And so Isaiah is mentioned by
name only in chapters 1 through 39.
And then they say the religious message,
chapters 1 through 39, which they would
say is first Isaiah,
mention false gods and a peaceful social
situation.
And the mention of the suffering servant
is only in chapters 40 through 66,
along with the themes of comfort,
reassurance, and restoration. And then
they would say.
Jehovah or Yahweh as the only true God is
the focus of the Holy One of Israel.
Found in those chapters. Alright,
then they would criticize the
superscription.
That is the title in chapter 1,
verse 1, does not cover the whole book,
but just part of the book. And you'd say
Isaiah contains several superscriptions
or titles. They would say chapter 2,
verse 1 mentions one, chapter 13,
verse 1, etc. And then Jeremiah,
they would
Compare that to Jeremiah that puts time
frame of his book ~ in the past,
or actually puts the time frame on his
book,
but not in Isaiah. Mm-hmm. And they would
appeal to Jeremiah chapter one,
verses one through three. However,
Isaiah's ministry was forty years,
and so the title is for the whole book,
and even in the Dead Sea Scrolls and every
other source,
it always, you know, have the book
unified.
In fact, there's no evidence anywhere.
archaeological or otherwise that even
suggest that there's more than one Isaiah.
And then the critics would talk about the
New Testament,
the New Testament use of Isaiah.
They would say New Testament writers were
not concerned about authorship,
but about the message. They would say that
Isaiah is used to represent
all the prophets,
I just have another reference here.
If you want further more on that,
you can just ~ contact us if you want
further more on that New Testament usage.
But of the twenty one direct quotations
from Isaiah,
seven of them are from Isaiah chapters one
through thirty-nine,
twelve are from chapters forty through
fifty-five,
and two are from fifty-six through
sixty-six,
plus many allusions. But as I said before,
John twelve, thirty eight through forty
one quotes from both
so called Isaiah sections, attributing all
of that to the single prophet Isaiah.
That's one of the strongest arguments.
Think so too.
I was going to mention that, but then you
just did that in the
New Testament you find ~ quotations from
Isaiah,
as the prophet Isaiah has said,
especially like in Matthew, but also in
John,
that you'll find Isaiah, Isaiah,
Isaiah, and it's from various sections.
And so if it were the case that these
various writers or various authors were
in fact, you know, exist if they were
real,
they will say it. But if the New Testament
is to be trusted,
and it is, and the New Testament verifies
that there was just a single Isaiah,
then we have to have the conclusion that
it's just a single Isaiah,
plus the other part that you mentioned is
the main thing.
There's no reason to think otherwise.
There's no reason in the world to think
that there's some other Isaiah who's
out there writing it. There's never been
any kind of separated sections
and all this kind of business to make us
think that there's all these things
we need to be looking for.
Yeah, and that brings us to the the next
thing,
the extra biblical evidence. You know,
outs and the the critics would say outside
the quotations or outside quotations
do not explicitly refer to the book as
from one author.
And of course, and then they would say
Isaiah and his company,
and they would his company I'm putting in
air quotes here,
because there's a view, there's a view
that
and this is I guess first put forth in the
second century Babylonian Talmud,
second century AD, that, you know,
Isaiah put down his pen and then another
Isaiah came along and he took
up the pen and he put it down for a while,
then another one, and that's where they
call get Isaiah and his quote company.
Okay. But in reality, as Stephen just
mentioned,
there's absolutely no evidence suggesting
multiple authors.
You know, the sep both the Septuagint and
the Dead Sea Scrolls
Show unity. And those are some of the
biggest pieces of ~ external evidence that
we have on any you know, a lot of the
Bible,
but they you know, there's nothing found.
And so why you know, why b build a whole
assumption on something there's absolutely
no evidence?
And we know why, we know why they don't
just create the scriptures.
you mentioned the John 12 one,
the John 12 is like the smoking gun almost
for us in that it demonstrates,
he says, here's what Isaiah says,
here's what Isaiah says, and writing from
two sections that if those were
two different writers, he could have very
easily said,
here's what Isaiah said, here's what the
other guy said.
It attributes both Isaiah 53 and Isaiah 6
to the one author.
Yep. And so some further evidence that
Isaiah was written before the exile.
The same evils are present in both
sections.
You know, in chapter one fifteen,
~ that same evil is repeated in chapter
fifty-nine one,
~ chapters ten or chapter ten,
verses one and two. ~ that same theme is
found again in Isaiah fifty-nine,
four through nine, and the same hypocrisy
is found in both sections.
Isaiah twenty-nine thirteen and compares
with Isaiah fifty eight
two through four and Isaiah one
twenty-nine compares with Isaiah
fifty-seven five.
We also the sin of chapters the sin in
chapters forty through sixty-six
is as in the time of Manasseh,
and we can read that in Second Kings
twenty-one and compare that with Isaiah
fifty-nine. ~ also idolatry is a major
problem in chapters forty through sixty
six.
But we see all that also in chapter 44,
9 through 20, and chapter 57, 4 and 5.
We have harlotry to Molech,
2 Kings 21, and we find that in Isaiah 65,
2 through 4, and Isaiah 66, 17.
Also, the type of worship described in
Manasseh is a major problem in Israel,
but the returning Jews did not bring
idolatry with them.
And so.
we have that. And of course, you know,
Isaiah is writing from the background of
the Assyrian situation and
so what he sees around him, you know,
he can use that to describe, even if he's
not describing Assyria,
if he's describing Babylon or Medo Persia,
he's still using some of the his his own
what he's experiencing himself.
And so but again
You know, all this deuterose Isaiah stuff
is just meant to try
to take the supernatural ~ out of the book
of Isaiah.
But we're gonna see some things during the
season ~ on minoring and
the majors that it's just impossible to
take away the supernatural out
of the book of Isaiah, and for that
matter,
any of the books of the Bible,
but especially Isaiah.
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this.
As the minor prophets I thought was great,
but these major prophets, especially
Isaiah,
well I say especially because I'm really
looking forward to Ezekiel and Daniel too,
but Isaiah covers such a large span and
his,
there's some details we'll get to on some
of the next episodes.
They show various facets of God.
So you've got all these,
periods of time that Isaiah covers.
All of these different facets of God,
he covers a lot of history and reveals a
lot of Israel's past,
their future and things they're going
through.
And there's a lot that we can,
in my opinion, there's a lot that we can
draw from to understand the nature
of God through the book of Isaiah.
How he prophesied, how do we understand
God?
How do we understand his holiness in
relationship to man?
How do we understand his judgment in
relationship to man?
And all of those things
are in harmony. his judgment, his love,
his forgiveness, his kindness,
~ they all work together. And I think
Isaiah ~ very uniquely does
well to bring some of those things out as
well.
Yes, and through this through this season
we hope to to show that even when times
get rough, and you know, Isaiah,
as far as we know, he's living right,
doing what's right, but the world is
collapsing around him,
mm-hmm and we we live in a time like that
as well.
I mean the world is collapsing around us
it seems sometimes,
but we can always trust in God.
We always know that God's in control,
that he is omniscient, he's got a plan,
and we just need to stay faithful to him.
And so we'll we'll see this throughout
Isaiah and the other books as well.
I'm looking forward to it.
All right, we appreciate you joining us
for the beginning of our season number
six,
minoring in the majors. And our next
episode,
we will have a lesson coming out of Isaiah
chapter one that will set
the stage for the rest of our studies in
Isaiah before we move on to
the other major prophets. Again,
we'd like to hear from you, and thanks
again for listening.
