The ¬Ascension of Isaiah can easily be divided into two main sections: a story of Isaiah’s martyrdom (Asc. Is. 1-5) and the Ascension of Isaiah (6-11). Each section has a significantly different story to tell. The Martyrdom of Isaiah tells the story of Isaiah during the reign of Hezekiah, King of Judah, and later the reign of Hezekiah’s son, Manasseh. In the Ascension of Isaiah, it tells about Isaiah’s vision of himself ascending up through each level of heaven until he reaches the seventh…

with most significant presence would have to be Tiresias. Despite Tiresias being a blind prophet, and unaware of the facial expressions people give him when they hear that he is blind but “sees,” he is a significant presence by telling Creon what his fate would be if he did not correct his mistakes and what his fate would hold for him if he were to refuse what Tiresias is suggesting. Tiresias, the blind prophet, “sees.” He is significant to the development of Creon by warning others of Creon's…

none of them listened to Jeremiah. It was not customary for the prophets and the kings to be in such opposition. Jeremiah is stuck in between a God who wants his way done on earth and a disobedient people. Finally in chapter 20, Jeremiah cries out and says “O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived” (vs. 7). Jeremiah is the laughingstock of everyone. He feels as if God has led him astray and tricked him into being a prophet “If I say, ‘I will not mention him, or speak any more in…

Post-Exillic Literature Ezekiel 36-37 – These chapters were written by Ezekiel, a well-educated priest who was taken to Babylon to work as a slave for the royalty due to his superior talents and education. While in slavery, the priest becomes a prophet through spiritual experiences early in the book. The people have lost everything, which according to the Deuteronomic viewpoint was because of their sinful unfaithfulness to Yahweh. What is the message of chapters 36 and 37? What does the…

Our roles to the current generation should be as the Old Testament Prophets. The prophets of the Old Testament had very specific roles. God called some to foretell, some to be messengers, and some to forthtell. God used some of the most unlikely men and women to do His will. God used Noah to build an Ark. The Ark was meant to preserve His animals and Noah’s family. It was also used as a sign of His majesty. God used a prostitute to show that He could forgive anyone their sins and to also show…

Interpretive Exercise: Amos 3:1-8 Within the text Amos 3:1-8 (New Revised Standard Version), there is a divine message given by the prophet Amos to the people of Israel. This particular piece is bizarre, and on its surface fairly elusive, for it uses a dark tone and violent images and asks rhetorical and puzzling questions to its audience. Within this exercise, my aim is to address the imagery of this text, and attempt to decode the depiction that Amos gives to the Israelites. I will also…

According our reading Ezekiel was a priest before he became a prophet. Ezekiel father, whose name was Buzi, and Buzi is not mention anywhere else in the Bible. Ezekiel was an unusually married man. Ezekiel was known for the ways he delivered his messages to the people. Instead of deliverance he would act the message out. Ezekiel had a visionary experiences that were elated. His mathematician’s skilled exceeded all others. In 597 B.C.E., Ezekiel was deported to Babylon at this time he was still a…

The Prophet Isaiah The Prophet Isaiah was a man dedicated to his mission (Radmacher, Allen & House, 2007, p. 1037). He lived in Jerusalem, and was called upon to deliver God’s message during the Assyrian crisis (Hays, 2010, p. 96). Isaiah delivered words of confrontation, exhortation, and warning. This made Isaiah unpopular among the people (Radmacher, Allen & House, 2007, p. 1037). Isaiah’s message was delivered during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, and all the kings of…

These three reasons are as follows: prophecy is given for a warning, for repentance, and for the hope of salvation. Consider the prophet Noah for example, a preacher of righteousness according to 2 Peter 2:5, whom God gave prophecy concerning a future event for his generation (Genesis 6:12-14). God told Noah that there was going to be a flood that will wipeout the entire generation…
