Bible Question: Isaiah the prophet was at his death was he killed or cut in half? |
Bible Answer: Hello Grace, According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, "The remaining years of Hezekiah’s reign were peaceful (2 Chr. 32:23, 27–29). Isaiah probably lived to its close, and possibly into the reign of Manasseh, but the time and manner of his death are unknown. There is a tradition that he suffered martyrdom in the heathen reaction in the time of Manasseh (q.v.)." Commenting in reference to Heb. 11:37, "...they were sawn in two,...", John Gill notes, "to which there seems to be an allusion in ( Matthew 24:51 ) . There is no instance of any good men being so used in Scripture: perhaps reference is had to some that suffered thus in the time of Antiochus. The Jews have a tradition, that the Prophet Isaiah was sawn asunder in the times of Manasseh, and by his order; which some think the apostle refers unto; though it seems to be all fictitious, and ill put together." [John Gill's Exposition of the Bible] I hope this helps, BradK |
