Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Isaiah Introduction, Vol. 2: Revised Version With Notes, Index and Maps Between the close of Isaiah´s life at the beginning of the seventh century and the exile of the Jewish population in Babylonia there intervene nearly the whole of that century and the beginning of the sixth - about a hundred years. This interval may be characterized in a single sentence. It meant for the Jewish people the final destruction of their kingdom and, in part, of their national hopes; and it also meant the purification of their religious ideas and cultus. This last was the permanent result which the overwhelming tides of foreign invasion, Scythian, Egyptian, and Babylonian, left behind them. Isaiah of Jerusalem, as we have already noted, uttered a great warning united to a great hope. He warned the nation that destructive judgments would overtake them for their sins against Yahweh - the sins of idolatry, necromancy, blind adherence to ceremonial, and national pride as well as sins of social injustice and drunkenness. Yet he also held out the hope that a remnant of the people would repent, that these would abide with God in their midst in Jerusalem, and that the city would be preserved from destruction. Finally, that a Messiah of Davidic lineage would arise and destroy the Assyrian power and establish the reign of righteousness and peace in Jerusalem. To these anticipations the Jewish people clung in the dark days that awaited them near the close of the Jewish monarchy; but the warnings were not equally heeded.
