Isaiah Who?
I am officially inviting all of you bystanders to de-lurk for today's question.First of all, thanks to all for yesterday's comments. It helps to know I'm not in a vacuum when it comes to wanting deep, meaningful study. We SO take for granted our access to knowing God. On to today's topic.
I'd like as many as are willing to answer these simple questions:
1. Who was Isaiah?
2. What did he do?
There is no limit, no under/over, to your replies. Say as much or as little as you want. Be honest though and, for now, no consulting of books or commentaries. This is "top of your head" stuff. A #2 pencil is required and you can purchase blue books at the university bookstore.
You may begin.

I won't try to give a full answer here, but here is something I often tell people: if you are interested in where God is "taking things" in the world, don't read the Revelation. The Revelation is much too interested in what we do in the meantime - with how we live in the midst of the apocalyptic. Isaiah is the place to go if you want to know about God's "future."
He lasted through several kings. He advised against forming alliances with neighboring kingdoms. He prophesied about Jesus and his crucifixion in Is. 53.
