Key Terms Major Prophet Decadence Immanuel Prophecy Suffering Servant Second Isaiah Citadel Massacre/Innocents Lamentations Vulgate Dry Bones Son of Man Outline The Prophecy of the Major Prophets A. The writing of the Major Prophets spans three centuries from eighth to the fifth century before Christ. B. Prophecy had three purposes. 1. They offered guidance for future conduct Nathan confirms that a Temple should be built in Jerusalem. 2SM07:03 2. They offered moral correction. David sinned when he took Bathsheba as his wife. 2SM 12:01 3. They explained the consequences of keeping the covenant and violating the covenant. Amos predicts the destruct of the altars at Bethel. AM 03:14 C. Most importantly, they offer clues that can be used to understand Salvation History. 1. These prophecies focus on the Messianic Promise meaning the person who will offer salvation and eternal happiness to humanity, which explains how humanity will be saved. 2. The Day of the Lord refers to the time when the Messianic Promise will be fulfilled. 3. They also offer clues that can be used to validate the claims to Messiahship Isaiah 1. Active in the latter half of the Eighth century before Christ in the Kingdom of Judah. 2. He was born in Jerusalem around 765BC. 3. He received his prophetic call at the age of twenty-five. 4. He seems to have been well respected having access to the king. 5. He was married with two sons.
2 6. His prophecies cover about fifty years across the reigns of Judean kings Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. 1. His life and his prophecy focus on Jerusalem. 2. The Middle East was politically and militarily unstable. 3. The major power was Assyria. a. The Assyrians conquered the North in 722BC. b. Four times during Isaiah s life, the Assyrians rolled into Judah, but they never conquer Jerusalem. 4. The kings of Judah sought alliances with Egypt and others against Assyria. Isaiah disapproved. C. The Message of Isaiah 1. He foretold the fate of each of Judah s enemies. 2. His most damning messages were against the Children of Israel. a. End religious hypocrisy. b. Not ritual and prayer, but do good and avoid evil. c. Isaiah despised the decadence of the royal court. Decadence means to fall into a defective lifestyle because of self-indulgence and moral laxity. 3. Prophecies concerning the immediate future a. The lack of moral rigor and genuine spiritual vigor would lead to the destruction of Judah. b. A Holy Remnant would survive and return to Zion. D.
