Hey,thank you guys for your work. I live in a small town in Colorado and 6 years ago was introduced to Torah and your a blessing to me .I'm definitely isolated and enjoy your prospective.
Matt 10:5-7 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
Oddly, as long as Judea was under Assyrias wing it did well. As soon as Assyria fell Judea made a series of tragic mistakes that lead to exile. It also needs to be remembered that Hezekiah bought his way out of the mess by paying off the Assyrians from the temples treasures. The whole Assyrians got sick and died is not reflected in NeoAssyrian history, but what is reflected is that there was an insurgence in the north and the East that Assyria needed to deal with. So while this kind of gets blown off here, there are serious reasons to believe there are multiple Isaiah’s. If we recall Isaiah key figure comes from a time in which Anathoth, a town whose tutelary god is Anath. This is in the time where polytheism is still widely practiced and the Northern Kingdom (Isra’elite Kungdom or Samaria) still exists and at time it dominates. They are still making golden calf to YHWH, and Asherah still is worshipped in Luz on the Judean border. Uzziah reigned from 783 to 742 and Hezekiah reigned to about 686. So if Isaiah to up as a prophet at age 15 he would have had to have lived 115 years, but that’s not all. Some authors try to take the minimum of 64 years of age, either way Isaiah was a very old man by the time the first part of Isaiah ends. Deutero Isaiah the considers prophecy made in Babylon after 586. So we are talking about Isaiah’s birth somewhere between 800 BCE and 765 BCE and now we are talking about prophecy made after 585 BCE. So let’s count, that’s 200 years. So this prophet is making prophecy about to 539 BCE, so now we are talking something like 250 years. So at that time a man of reasonable health might expect to live to be 55, so on average if we had two different prophets we might expect 40 years of activity +/-10 years. So the first minimum is between 45 years, the second is 45 years. So this is basically two segregated lifespans for an individual who lives about 5 years longer than expected, in the case of the first Isaiah maybe 20 years. Is there grounds for a third Isaiah.indeed part of the dialog concerns rebuilding the temple after 515 BCE So what is important here is that Isaiah is a construction. One person who studies the DSS basically eluded to the fact the 1-39 appears to have “breaks”. A hypothesis was argued that minor prophets, not deemed worthy of having their own text had text inserted into Isaiah. Why is this being done. Because Isaiah gained respect and during exile, with the fall of the Davidic kingdom and priesthood, Isaiah accumulated authority. Because of this people, its constructors, could lend authority to a line of thought by inserting the text into Isaiah. I guess they thought the readers were not to good with history or Math.
Thank you!
Todah rabah
I am learning such a lot from you both. Keep going.
