Such hope is anchored in rock-solid reality. Identifying Isaiah’s grounds for certain hope provides a place for all kingdom proclamation to find its “reason for hope” (I Peter 3:15).

Hope for a Righteous King: The opening verse of Isaiah describes the political environment of his ministry. Of the four kings he knew, only one consistently lived and served in the ways of the Lord. Uzziah fell because of pride and presumption (II Chron. 26:19); Jotham, though faithful, was unable to restrain corruption or lead a way which reversed the habits of his people (II Chron. 27:2); and Ahaz was committed to evil ways (II Chron. 28:1-4). Only Hezekiah proved steadfast for God in his leadership (II Chron. 29-32). Isaiah’s proclamation of a faithful, just, and righteous king-to-come lifted believing hearts, especially in the midst of the sixteenth-year wicked reign of Ahaz. The same message will achieve the same result today, whatever the surrounding failure or confusion of man or society. Proclaim the truth of Isaiah 9:6-7 and 11:1-2. There is a certain hope of a glorious King, who will begin His reign within 4/13/2015 5 us now, through us for a lifetime, and with us forever!

Hope for a Universal Deliverer: Beyond the narrowness of his society’s provincialism, Isaiah sees God’s day of deliverance for all mankind. He sees a multi-ethnic unity in worship, as peoples “flow together” to seek the Lord (2:1-4). Over 750 years before Christ, he prophesied the breaking of the barricade between Jew and Gentile (9:1-2), declaring God’s intent to bring together “one body” (Eph. 2:14-18). Finally, he reveals the spirit and style of this Deliverer of all peoples (42:1-4): (a) He is not self-promotional (v. 2); (b) He is tender and restoring (v. 3); and (c) He is unrelenting until He 9 4/13/2015 completes His objectives of deliverance (v. 4).

There are three general categories under which the work of the Holy Spirit may be described: 1. The Spirit’s anointing upon the Messiah to empower Him for His rule and administration as King on the throne of David (11:1-12); as the suffering Servant of the Lord who will heal, liberate, enlighten, and bring justice to the nations (42:1-9); as the Anointed One (Messiah) in both His advents (61:1-3; Luke 4:17-21). 4/13/2015 15 Isaiah’s Power Key: Holy Spirit at Work 以赛亚书的动力钥匙: 圣灵的工作 以赛亚书提到圣灵有15 次 ,这还不包括圣 灵的能力,效果或影响。圣灵的工作可以 被描述的有三大类: 1。圣灵恩膏的弥赛亚后,授权祂为祂的 统治和管理作为国王在大卫的宝座上( 11:1-12),作为受苦仆人的主,祂会医治 ,解放,启发,并带来正义的国家( 42:1-9);作为受膏者(弥赛亚),在祂 的两次降临(61:1-3,路4:17-21)。 4/13/2015 16 Isaiah’s Power Key: Holy Spirit at Work 以赛亚书的动力钥匙: 圣灵的工作 2. The Spirit’s outpouring upon Israel to give them success in their rehabilitation after the pattern of the Exodus (44:15; 63:1-5); to protect them from their enemies (59:19); and to preserve Israel in covenant relationship with Yahweh (59:21). However, Israel must be careful not to rebel and grieve the Holy Spirit (63:10; Eph. 4:30). 2。 像出埃及记的模式, 圣灵浇灌后, 以色 列成功的康复 (44:1-5;63:1-5), 从他们的敌 人中保护他们(59:19); 保存以色列与耶和 华盟约的关系(59:21)。然而,以色列必 须小心,不要以反叛和使圣灵悲伤(63:10 ,弗4:30)。 4/13/2015 17 Isaiah’s Power Key: Holy Spirit at Work 以赛亚书的动力钥匙: 圣灵的工作 3. The Spirit’s operation at creation and in the preservation of nature (40:13; 48:16). The Lord Jesus, whose earthly ministry was carried out in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, as Isaiah has prophesied, promised to pour out His Spirit upon the church to empower it for its ministry in fulfilling the Great Commission. 3。圣灵在创造宇宙和保存大自然(40:13 ,48:16)。 以赛亚预言主耶稣,在地上圣灵的恩膏和 力量进行了事工,承诺祂的圣灵在教会事 工完成大使命。 4/13/2015 18 Some Facts About the Book of Isaiah 关于以赛亚书的一些事实 Author Date Background Purpose Personal Application Outline Truths and Actions 4/13/2015 作者 日期 背景 目的 个人应用 概述 真理和行动 19 Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 The first verse of this book names its author as Isaiah, the son of Amoz. The name “Isaiah” means “Yahweh is Salvation.” The vision and prophecy are claimed four times by Isaiah; his name is mentioned an additional twelve times in the book. His name also occurs twelve times in 2 Kings and four times in 2 Chronicles. 作者:这本书的第一句说以赛亚书的作者 是亚摩斯的儿子。 “以赛亚”的意思是“耶和 华是拯救”。以赛亚四次宣布异象和预言, 他的名字在书中被提到额外的12次。他的 名字在列王記下也出现了12次,和在歷代 志下出现了四次。 4/13/2015 20 Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 The Book of Isaiah is directly quoted twenty-one times in the New Testament and attributed in each case to the prophet Isaiah. Some scholars who have difficulty with detailed prophetic prediction of future events have denied to Isaiah the authorship of chapters 40-66. They term this section Second Isaiah and insist that since these chapters deal with events that took place long after Isaiah’s day, such as the Babylonian captivity of Judah, the return from exile, and the rise of Cyrus, the Persian ruler who mandated the return from exile (45:1), they were written later and attached to Isaiah. 21 4/13/2015 Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 在新约中直接引用以赛亚书21次。有 些学者有困难预言未来事件, 否认以赛 亚写40-66章。他们认为这是第二本以 赛亚书和坚持,这些章节活动发生在 以赛亚多年后的日子,如巴比伦囚禁 的犹大人,从流亡返回, 古列的兴起 ,在波斯的统治者授权返回流亡( 45:1),认为他们被后人写入以赛亚书。 4/13/2015 22 Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 If divine inspiration of Scripture and the possibility of the supernatural are accepted, however, one should have no difficulty with the unity of authorship of Isaiah. After all, Isaiah and other prophets of his time prophesied events in the life of Jesus that happened seven hundred years later. Furthermore, critics overlook the fact that Isaiah had access to the Book of Deuteronomy, which predicted both a captivity and a return from the exile (Deut. 29, 30). If the mention of Cyrus(44:28; 45:1) is a stumbling block, what about Bethlehem, Jesus’ birthplace, named and predicted by Micah, 4/13/2015 23 a contemporary of Isaiah (Mic. 5:2)? Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 如果圣经是神的启示, 和接受超自然的可 能, 我们应该没有困难接受赛亚书的统 一作者。以赛亚和其他先知预言耶稣的 生命的时间是七百年后发生的事件。此 外,批评者忽略了一个事实,以赛亚有 申命记,预测囚禁和返回的流亡(申29, 30)。如果古列 (44:28; 45:1) 是绊脚 石, 哪么, 伯利恒,耶稣的出生地,弥 迦的预言 , 他是以赛亚同代(弥5:2)? 4/13/2015 24 Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 Other arguments favor single authorship: (1) key words and phrases are equally distributed throughout Isaiah; (2) references to landscape and local coloring are also uniform. The greater beauty in style of Hebrew poetry in the latter chapters of Isaiah can be explained by the change in subject matter from judgment and entreaty to comfort and assurance. In any case, as clearly likely as it is that Isaiah was written via one penman, contending for this position is not intended to impugn the sincerity of any with 4/13/2015 25 contrary opinion. Author of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的作者 其他有利于单一著作:(1)重点单词 和短语均匀地分布在整个以赛亚书(2 )景观和当地的景色也是统一的。在 希伯来诗歌风格在以赛亚书后面的章 节更美, 可以被解释为题材的变化: 从 判断和恳求到安慰和保证。清楚地, 它是通过一个以赛亚写以赛亚书。 4/13/2015 26 Date of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的日期 The prophet states that he prophesied during the reigns of “Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah” (1:1). Some accept his call to the prophetic office as being in the year that King Uzziah died, which was about 740 B.C. (6:1, 8). It is likely, however, he began during the last decade of Uzziah’s reign. Since Isaiah mentions the death of the Assyrian king, Sennacherib, who died about 680 B.C. (37:37-38), he must have outlived Hezekiah by a few years. Tradition has it that Isaiah was martyred during the reign of Manasseh, Hezekiah’s son. Many believe that the clause “sawn in two” in Hebrews 11:37 is a reference to Isaiah’s death. The first part of the book may have been written in Isaiah’s earlier years, the latter chapters after his retirement from public life. If Isaiah began prophesying about 750 B.C., his ministry may have briefly overlapped those of Amos and Hosea in Israel, as 4/13/2015 27 well as that of Micah in Judah. Date of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的日期 先知说他预言在“乌西雅,约坦,亚哈斯,希西家 ,作犹大王”(1:1)的统治。有些说他写预言在乌 西雅王死的时候 ,这是约公元前740年(6:1, 8)。 可能在乌西雅的统治最后十年中。因为以赛亚提到 ,约公元前680年亚述王西拿基立死(37:37-38), 他活得比希西家多几年。传统说,希西家的儿子玛 拿西统治期间,以赛亚以身殉道 。许多人认为在希 伯来书11:37“锯成两半”是以赛亚的死亡是一个 参考。这本书的第一部分可能写在以赛亚的早期 , 他退休后写后面的章节。 如果以赛亚预言约公元前750年开始,他已经重叠 在以色列的阿摩司和何西阿,以及在犹大的弥迦。 4/13/2015 28 Background of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的背景 Isaiah prophesied at the most crucial period in the history of Judah and Israel. Both the southern and northern kingdoms had experienced nearly a halfcentury of increasing prosperity and power. Israel, ruled by Jeroboam and six other minor kings, had succumbed to pagan worship; Judah, under Uzziah, Jotham, and Hezekiah, had maintained an outward conformity to orthodoxy, but had gradually fallen into serious moral and spiritual decline (3:8-26). Secret places of pagan worship were tolerated; the wealthy oppressed the poor; the women neglected their families in the quest of carnal pleasure; many of the priests and prophets became drunken men-pleasers 4/13/2015 29 (5:7-12, 18-23; 22:12-24). Background of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的背景 以赛亚预言犹大和以色列在历史上最关键 的时期。南部和北部的王国,经历了近一 个半世纪的日益繁荣与强大。以色列的耶 罗波安和其他六个小国王统治,他们崇拜 异教; 犹大,在乌西雅,约坦,希西家,保 持着向外符合正统,但已逐渐陷入严重的 道德与精神的堕落(3:8 - 26)。忍受秘密 的异教崇拜;富人欺压穷人;女性追求肉体的 快感忽略了家庭,许多的祭司和先知成为 喝醉酒的男人,取悦(5:7-12,18-23, 22:12-24)。 4/13/2015 30 Background of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的背景 While there would come one more revival in Judah under King Josiah (640-609 B.C.), it was clear to Isaiah that the covenant recorded by Moses in Deuteronomy 30:11-20 had been so completely violated that judgment and captivity were inevitable for Judah, even as it was for Israel. Isaiah entered his ministry at about the time of the founding of Rome and the first Olympic games of the Greeks. European powers were not quite ready for wide conquest, but several Asian powers were looking beyond their borders. Assyria particularly was poised for conquest to the south and to the west. The prophet, who was a student of world affairs, could see the conflict that was 4/13/2015 31 imminent. Assyria took Samaria in 722 B.C. Background of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的背景 虽然在犹大约西亚王有一个复兴(640-609 BC). 以赛亚看到摩西在申命记30:11-20的 立约完全违反了, 判断和囚禁是不可避免。 以赛亚进入他的事奉在罗马的成立和希腊 的第一届奥运会的时间。欧洲列国没有完 全准备好征服,但几个亚洲大国正在寻找 超出其边界。亚述准备征服南部和西部。 先知是熟悉世界事件的,可以看到,这是 迫在眉睫的冲突。亚述在公元前722年占领 了撒玛利亚。 4/13/2015 32 Purpose of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的目的 One of Isaiah’s purposes was to declare God’s displeasure with and judgment upon sin in Judah, Israel, and the surrounding nations. Almost all the Hebrew words for sin are employed by the prophet. A parallel purpose was to endeavor to turn God’s people away from disobedience in order to avert disaster, a purpose that was only partially successful. Perhaps the greatest purpose, however, was to lay a foundation of hope and promise for the faithful remnant of God’s people. Thus the book is full of promises of restoration and redemption, of the certain advent of the Messiah, of salvation for all the nations, and of the triumph of God’s purposes in spite of 4/13/2015 33 intervals of suffering. Purpose of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的目的 以赛亚书的目是宣告神的不满和判断在犹 大,以色列,和周边国家的罪。先知使用 所有的希伯来文罪的字。另一个目的是要 努力要上帝的人远离不服从,以避免灾难; 这目的,有部分的成功。 但是,或许最大 的目的是希望忠实的残余上帝的子民奠定 了基础。因此,本书是充分恢复和赎回的 承诺,弥赛亚救主一定要来临, 整个世界 所有国家的救赎,并上帝旨意的胜利, 虽然 有中间有许多痛苦。 4/13/2015 34 Personal Application of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的个人应用 No Old Testament book, with the possible exception of the Psalms, speaks more powerfully and appropriately to the modern-day church than the Book of Isaiah. Isaiah has been called both the “messianic prophet” and the “evangelical prophet.” He prophesied for all future ages, predicting both the First and Second Advents of Christ. His very name means “Salvation,” a salvation not only for those of his day, but also a salvation of the peoples of the nations for all time. This salvation issues from a Savior or Redeemer who has provided a ransom; it is always a vicarious salvation by grace. The prophetic time frame of Isaiah will not close until the Son of David rules over His kingdom of peace (2:1-5; 11:1-10; 42:1-4; 61:1-11; 65:1725; 66:22-23). 4/13/2015 35 Personal Application of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的个人应用 除了诗篇例外, 没有旧约的书比以赛亚书更有 力和适当对现代教会说话。以赛亚被称为“ 救世主先知”和“福音的先知”,他预言所有 未来的时代,预言基督的第一次和第二次降 临。他名字的意思是“拯救”,不仅是当天 的救恩,而且也是所有时代的国家人民的拯 救。这救恩从救主和救赎提供了代价,它始 终是一个替代救赎的恩典。以赛亚书的预言 的时间框架不会关闭,直到的大卫后裔耶稣 统治祂和平的王国(2:1-5;11:1-10;42:14;61:1-11,65:17-25 ;66:22-23)。 4/13/2015 36 Personal Application of the Book of Isaiah 以赛亚书的个人应用 Isaiah speaks as powerfully to our day as he did to the society of his day. He focused a spotlight of holiness upon the sordid sins of Israel; he summoned his contemporaries to cease from their social injustice, their quest for carnal indulgence, their trust in the arm of flesh, and their hypocritical pretense of orthodox religion. He also warned of the consequences of judgment if sin continued. 以赛亚书,强烈地震撼着我们的日子,像他 当日震撼他社会一样。他集中了圣洁的肮脏 对以色列的罪恶, 他召集他的同时代人停止他 们的社会不公, 追求肉体的放纵, 他们的信任 在手臂上的力量, 和他们的正统宗教的虚伪矫 4/13/2015 37 饰。他还警告说继续罪的后果是判断。 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 Prophecy of denunciation and invitation (Part 1) 1:1—35:10. Covering just over one half of the entire book, these first chapters are written in a contemporary style. They are prophecies given from the standpoint of Isaiah’s day. 1. Messages of judgment and promise (1:1—6:13). An indictment of rebellion, call to repent (1:1-31). Judah and Jerusalem are introduced as being the subjects of this prophecy. The twofold accusation is very clear as it is presented. Incorporating the figure of a diseased body (vv. 5-6). Isaiah indicts the nation because of their ingratitude and their rebellion apostasy. The mention of a remnant establishes the fact that God is showing Himself merciful toward them. The emptiness of their worship comes under the scrutiny of the Lord, and on that basis He announces His rejection of their religious show (11-15). Only genuine repentance and ongoing obedience will save the people. The Lord appeals to them to come and reason together with Him in order that they might understand His 4/13/2015 38 mercy and His justice.

Future glory, punishment for perversion (2:1— 4:1). In this section both Jerusalem and Judah are informed of a forthcoming time of judgment, identified as “the day of the Lord.” Such judgment is for sinners and is preparatory for establishing the kingdom as it is described (vv. 1-5). It is a judgment that can cleanse and equip the nation for the kingdom mission. The type of sin that defines the current state of things is seen in detail (3:16— 4:1). These sins, which were contemporary with the prophet, require the judgment of the day of the Lord if any national blessing is to be forthcoming.40 4/13/2015 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 2。未来的荣耀,惩罚反叛(2:1-4:1)。耶 路撒冷和犹大将被判断,认定为“主的日子 ”。这样是判断罪人,是筹备建立的王国,( 1-5节)。这是一个判断,可以净化和装备 国度使命的国家。罪的定义是在(3:16-4:1 )细节描述。当代的先知,需要 “主的日子” 判断,如果国家需要祝福到来。 4/13/2015 41 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 “The righteous….shall eat the fruit of their doings” (3:10). While specifying sin-induced consequences for Judah’s rebellion, the prophet proclaims to the righteous remnant. By doing right, the righteous plant the seed for a harvest of righteousness to come. In the New Testament the apostle Paul wrote, “He who sows to his flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the spirit will… reap everlasting life” (Gal. 6:8). Abundant life in the Spirit requires sowing in the Spirit—and a harvest is 4/13/2015 42 promised!

Branch of the Lord (4:2-6). This is Isaiah’s first messianic reference. Other prophets use the same figure of a “Branch” to refer to the future Messiah. Isaiah pays additional attention to this idea (11:1-3). 3。 “耶和華發生的苗、必華美尊榮” ( 4:2-6)。这是以赛亚第一次表明救世主。 其他先知,使用相同的一个字“苗”来表明 未来的弥赛亚。以赛亚给予更多的关注( 11:1-3)。 4/13/2015 44 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 4. Song of the vineyard, and assorted woes (5:1-30). The nation of Israel is represented as the vineyard of the Lord. In spite of all the tender care given the vineyard—fertile soil, careful cultivation, a selected vine, etc.—the vineyard fails to produce the desired fruit. Instead, wild grapes of injustice and oppression are the product. A comparative study is found in Matthew 21:33-45, when Jesus pronounces judgment on Israel and announces that the kingdom of God will be given to another nation 4/13/2015 45 who will bear righteous fruit. Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 4。葡萄园的歌曲,以及各种灾难(5:130)。以色列国代表葡萄园的主。尽管 所有的温柔的呵护葡萄园,肥沃的土壤 ,精心培育,藤本植物等的葡萄园未能 产生预期的水果。相反,产生野生葡萄, 非正义, 和压迫的产品。研究发现,在马 太福音21:33-45,耶稣宣布以色列上帝 的国度将义果给其他国家承担。 4/13/2015 46 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 5. The prophet, his vision, and call (6:1-13). The features of Isaiah’s call include seeing himself as undone and needy. There comes a cleansing and a commissioning of the prophet, followed by a revelation of the extent to which Israel would deteriorate and the news that a remnant would survive and return to the land. 5。先知的预知及呼唤:(6:1-13)。以赛 亚的呼唤的功能,包括把自己作为百废待 兴和有需要的。一个清洗和调试的先知, 其次是以色列会恶化的消息,残生和返回 到土地的启示。 4/13/2015 47 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 “I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple” (6:1). The one who is called of God carries a responsibility beyond vocational identity. The person who would be God’s servant must have a working understanding of who God is. The prophet gained this insight from having seen the Lord. Our worship of God is the best means for gaining such a perspective on our call and leadership. Once we have experienced the glory of the Lord and the sinfulness of self, nothing else matters; He has our focus. 4/13/2015 48 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 “當烏西雅王崩的那年、我見主坐在高高的 寶座上.他的衣裳垂下、遮滿聖殿。”(6:1) 。称为上帝的仆人责任超过职业需求。上 帝的仆人了解上帝是谁。先知获得的洞察 力因为看到了主。我们崇拜上帝,我们的 呼吁,是获得这样的洞察力的最佳方法。 一旦我们经历了主的荣耀和自我的罪恶, 祂是我们关注的焦点。 4/13/2015 49 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 “Here am I! Send me” (6:8). Changed in the Lord’s presence, Isaiah overhears God’s voice calling for a messenger, and he responds. His personal encounter prepares him to discern God’s call to witness: he perceives God clearly (vv. 1-3), understands his own unrighteousness (v. 5), and receives God’s forgiveness with humbled heart (vv. 6-7). Becoming a channel of God’s grace requires this personal experience of grace. As the Spirit of God purges our hearts in the penetrating light of His presence, we can offer a pure testimony from first-hand experience of His redeeming work. 4/13/2015 50 Content of the Book of Isaiah - 1 以赛亚书的内容 - 1 “我在這裏、請差遣我。”(6:8)。在主的 面前,以赛亚听到上帝的声音,他回答。 他的个人遭遇,他准备上帝呼召的见证, 他清楚感觉到上帝(第1-3节),了解自己 的不义(5节),并接收上帝的宽恕与谦卑 的心(6-7节)。成为上帝恩典的渠道,需 要个人经验的恩典。上帝的灵清除我们的 心, 祂的存在, 被光穿透我们,我们可以使 用纯粹的见证,经验祂的救赎工作。 4/13/2015 51 References: 参考文献: 1.
