The covenant of peace assures the restored relationship between God and his people. The nuance of peace (~Alv') is not only the absence of violence but also the well-being of God’s people. The term ~Alv' continues from its occurrence in 53:5. In other words, the covenant of peace is only possible through the ministry of the suffering servant, God’s faithful …show more content…
Sawyer claims that the woman imagery is not about a city, but just about a suffering woman like the servant of Lord. However, their interpretations fail to recognize the function of imagery (or metaphor) within the Book of Isaiah. The ostensibly different metaphors interact together coherently to highlight the multiple aspects of the restoration of Zion (W. A. M. Beuken, “Isaiah LIV: The Multiple Identity of the Person Addressed,” OTS 19 [1974]: 29-70). Cf. J. F. Sawyer, “Daughter of Zion and Servant of the Lord in Isaiah: A Comparison,” JSOT 44 (1989): 89-107; M. E. Biddle, “The Figure of Lady Jerusalem: Identification, Deification and Personification of Cities in the ANE,” in The Biblical Canon in Comparative Perspective: Scripture in Context IV (ed. K. Lawson Younger et al.; Lewiston/Queenston/Lampeter: Edwin Mellen, 1991), 173-94; Westermann, Isaiah 40-66, 277; Childs, Isaiah,

    William Bradford's Religion In The Early 1600s

    2. In the early 1600s, William Bradford, a Puritan pilgrim from England, wrote a journal [Sovereignty and the], recording all his experiences regarding his pilgrimage. When this text was written, the Church of England had started to persecute all those who did not follow their religion, which included the Puritans, who had to move to Leiden, Holland. After a few years, a war broke out in that area, so the Pilgrims were forced to move somewhere else, in which they chose the present-day East Coast of North America. In the quote shown, William Bradford gratefully comments on how the pilgrims survived obstacles through their journey to the New World, in order to provide his religious insight on how God helped them out in times of need.…

Hamilton (2015), “In Chs. 17-27 the primary focus is not so much on how God’s people are to worship as on how they are to live; those who worship a holy God will aspire to live holy lives and appropriate the resources that a holy God makes available to them to so order their lives” (p. 282). In Leviticus Chapter 19:19, recorded are laws against mixtures.…

    How Does Edward Taylor Use A Metaphor In Catching A Fly

    4. This stanza,written by Edward Taylor in the 17th century,from a part of his poem Upon a Spider Catching a Fly, states the moment when the devil "saw a pettish wasp" and is cautious if it because of "his sting". Taylor uses a metaphor using the wasp as one type of man that is a sinner but tries its best to be free from its sin, and the spider as the devil who spins threads of silk to catch its prey. In other words, a sinner has fallen upon the devils wrath but because the sinner is one who has God's Grace, its life is able to be spared whereas the fly, another representation of a man who is caught in the devils wrath, is one who is vulnerable and is devoured by evil.…

    The Psalmist is writing these words in a time of unrest. Within them is an understanding of the peace that God has offered Jerusalem. A peace is far from the Psalmist’s experience. Instead, Jerusalem seems like a place of refuge in the midst of a threatening storm. We experience this peace, this refuge, in the gift of grace we receive through Christ.…

    War is imminent for the Christian soldier who is facing the enemy of one-hundred thousand screaming warriors who are mocking the God of Abraham. As a result of the impending war, bending to one knee on the battlefield, and praying that God will wipe out all the adversaries––– a wartime necessity. “Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.…

    Sacred Scripture Analysis

    However, four years later, the Assyrian army attacked and destroyed all of Judah except Jerusalem—just as Isaiah prophesied in chapter 37. The people saw God's intervention in the survival of Jerusalem and rejoiced, but soon became overly confident in more ways than one. Judah's arrogance eventually gave way to the Babylonian captivity, in which most of its citizens were deported to Babylon. This is the prophetic setting of the second section of the book of Isaiah. Boadt states that “Second Isaiah clearly refers to the capture and destruction of Jerusalem as a past event and to the present state of the people as exiles in Babylon.…

    Isaiah 53 Analysis

    The passage of Isaiah 53 (4-8), for many centuries has been summed up as a poetic song in which the prophet Isaiah depicted the climatic period of world history in which the coming Messiah will arrive. In today’s culture this view is again reoriented in that many Christians alone see this passage to be a prophecy of the ministry in which Jesus Christ will walk. When looking into the passage, Christians see the ‘servant’ as Jesus, and his suffering for our sins, and the sacrifice he made for us. However like many passages throughout the bible, the interpretation in which it is understood is dependent on the perspective in which it is looked from. When breaking down these four verses, the perspectives that arrive are the time it was written at,…

    The Moral Corruption Of Family In William Shakespeare's Hamlet

    In William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the moral corruption that occurs between family members causes animosity that results in their downfall, and eventually their ultimate demise. More specifically, the tainted view of an individual in a family may result in the downfall of the other family members involved. Evidence of tainted view of a family member causing undue harm can be found in the relationship between Hamlet and Claudius, Hamlet and Gertrude, and Hamlet and Old King Hamlet. The relationship between Hamlet and Claudius is problematic, largely due to the fact that they both wish death upon the other.…

    It explains Jesus’s role on Earth. He is announcing the coming of the Kingdom of God. Thus Bartholomew and Goheen go on to say, “Thus with the background of Isaiah Jesus proclaims to the Jews the fulfillment of the good news of the prophet Isaiah. At the same time with the language of the imperial cult he announces to the Roman world that the good news for the world began not with Caesar Augustus but with Jesus the Jewish Messiah, the true Son of God (144).” By this Jesus then shows not just the Jewish faith, but also the world that the Kingdom of God was on Earth.…

    Old Testament Essay

    Many Christians today struggle to define the right relationship with God. We often do not believe that we need to follow God’s instructions or the words from the chose prophets in the Old Testaments. Old testaments were written many centuries ago. Christians nowadays often conclude that the instructions and words of God from the Old testaments are too old to be reflected with their daily Christian living in 21st centuries. Instead of ignoring the importance of Old testaments, we need to reinterpret in modern words and absorb the teachings from the Old Testaments.…
