Isaiah Part II
The Old Testament book of Isaiah is the first of the Major Prophets. It is the longest book of prophesy. Some Bible students believe that it should be divided into two books. Since this study, on behalf of Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex, is designed to be a two year study, it seemed wise to divide the book as suggested by scholars, chapters one through thirty-nine, and forty through sixty-six. We believe the book was written by Isaiah, or is a collection of his prophetic oracles (sermons) put together by his disciples. Either way, it is inspired by God and placed in the Old Testament by those who believed it to be the work of God’s Spirit. This second part of Isaiah contains great hope. It prophesies the delivery of God’s people from terrible circumstances. Isaiah does have strong words about judgment, especially in the first part. However, in the second part of the book, we find much about the coming of the Messiah (Jesus) and the blessing of God’s people in the future. In this part of the book, we have some of the most beautiful words ever written about Jesus, and here also we find the promise that God will have victory over all evil in this world.
