Jehovah Saves

Introduction:

Seven times the Scripture recorded that the LORD spoke by "his servants the prophets" revealing His secrets to them.  Isaiah was one such that the Lord used to warn and encourage Jehovah's people.  The Lord's overarching plan was the fulfill concurrently His Seed Promise and His Land Promise.  In the midst of the history of Israelm ongoing threats to thwart the devine fulfillment occurred (from satan, unbelievers, and believers), and prophets.  Isaiah was employed to warn Israel about the Assyrian threat and Judah about the Babylonian captivity, both threats to the LAnd PRomise, and encourage them that Jehovah had a glorious future for the believing remnant, based on the Seed Promise - Immanuel. The nature of Old Testament prophecy allowed the prophet to proclaim both near and remote prophecies in the same message since the LORD is not limited to temporal chronology.  

As Isaiah's name means "Jehovah saves" it becomes the theme of the book of Isaiah as well as a microcosm of the Bible's main theme.  The man Isaiad may be known as the evangelical phorphet of the OT, or entitled the "St Paul of the Old Testament". ~ Dr Thomas Strouse
