Hi Bobby99, Your question is thought provoking, which is one of my most significant reasons for logging on to this site, and I thank you for coming aboard. This is what I can come up with, and I hope many others chip in with their two or three cents worth as well: The first reason that comes to my mind pertaining to your question, is that the Book of Isaiah is often called "The Bible within the Bible" for (partly) the following reason. The Bible, in its Protestant version, contains 66 books. 39 Books in the Old Testament, and 27 Books in the New Testament. There is 66 chapters in Isaiah, with an obvious split, or change in tone, after chapter 39, causing some to suscribe to the theory of a different author to the latter 27 chapters, which is untrue. The reason I bring this up is that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation is one entire Book, ( "THE" Book) that contains everything necessary that is pertaining to God's plan of salvation for mankind. It begins with God's placing man in paradise and it ends with God bringing man ( As many as who believe Him with integrity) home to paradise. (The rest, including idolaters and adulterers I will leave out for the sake of brevity) In this chapter, Isaiah offers observations of the judgements that the wayward Jews were bringing upon themselves in vss. 3–12 and also, in vss. 13–21, the grace of God upon His people as he brings comfort and deliverance to all those that place their faith in Him, as they enjoy privileges of membership to the church on earth, and will be brought in the end to the splendor and joys of heaven. I hope this helps you as you study further in this wonderful book! Tim |
