The name “Isaiah” means “Jehovah saves” or “Salvation of Jehovah.” It is believed that Isaiah was from a prominent family, or perhaps even related to the royal family of Judah, because of his apparent influence among the rulers of Judah. Isaiah is sometimes called the “prince of prophets."
Isaiah is considered a “major” prophet of the Bible (along with Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel) as opposed to the “minor” prophets (Obadiah, Joel, Jonah, Amos, Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi). These prophets are not divided based on significance of the messages, however, but rather simply by the length of their books.
Scholars also label prophets by the time period of their ministry as pre-exile, exile, or post-exile. Isaiah is considered a pre-exile prophet because he spoke the words contained in the sixty-six chapters of the book of Isaiah prior to the Jewish exile to Babylon. Isaiah made the most prophecies regarding the Jewish people and Christ. And he is the prophet who is most often quoted in the New Testament.
9 For this is a rebellious people,
deceitful children,
Children who refuse
to listen to the instruction of the LORD;g
10 Who say to the seers, “Do not see”;
to the prophets,* “Do not prophesy truth for us;
speak smooth things to us, see visions that deceive!h
11 Turn aside from the way! Get out of the path!
Let us hear no more
of the Holy One of Israel!”i
12 Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel:
Because you reject this word,
And put your trust in oppression and deceit,
and depend on them,j
13 This iniquity of yours shall be
like a descending rift
Bulging out in a high wall
whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant,k
14 Crashing like a potter’s jar
smashed beyond rescue,
And among its fragments cannot be found
a sherd to scoop fire from the hearth
or dip water from the cistern.
So, what happened after SCOTUS (1963) kicked God out of public schools?
[ ] We have mental health crisis
[ ] Infanticide turned into #BlackGenocide
[ ] African American nuclear family has joined the Sea Turtles in the endangered list
[ ] 80% of AA kids are raised in fatherless homes
[ ] We have a fatherlesssness crisis
[ ] A Girlhood Crisis
[ ] A Trans Crisis
Progressive policies are not only regressive, but if you take away euphemisms, it's obvious that we have a full on attack on Christianity by Corporate America, including Bud Light, NorthFace, the US Navy, Kohl’s, Major League Baseball, The Los Angeles Dodgers as well as the White House, DOJ, FBI and Main Stream Media. All in lock step to promote the Christo-Fascist, America Is Racist narratives.
