The Prophets Last Plea (141-9)

• The book does not close without Gods offer of
  forgiveness. Israel was guilty before God, yet
  through repentance could have known restoration.

O Israel, return to the Lord your God, For you
have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take
words with you, And return to the Lord. Say to
Him, Take away all iniquity...
(Hosea 141-2)
11
The Prophets Last Plea (141-9)
Who is wise? Let him understand these things.
Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the
ways of the Lord are right The righteous walk in
them, But transgressors stumble in them. (Hosea
149)

(17) And Azariah the priest went in after him,

Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It
appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn
incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the
sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn
incense go out of the sanctuary for thou hast
trespassed neither shall it be for thine honour
from the LORD God. (19) Then Uzziah was wroth,
and had a censer in his hand to burn incense and
while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy
even rose up in his forehead before the priests
in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense
altar.

• Isaiah 3714-22 And Hezekiah received the letter
  from the hand of the messengers, and read it and
  Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and
  spread it before the LORD. (15) Then Hezekiah
  prayed to the LORD, saying (16) "O LORD of
  hosts, God of Israel, the One who dwells between
  the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the
  kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and
  earth. (17) Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear
  open Your eyes, O LORD, and see and hear all the
  words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to
  reproach the living God. (18) Truly, LORD, the
  kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations
  and their lands,

49

• (19) and have cast their gods into the fire for
  they were not gods, but the work of men's
  handswood and stone. Therefore they destroyed
  them. (20) Now therefore, O LORD our God, save
  us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the
  earth may know that You are the LORD, You alone."
  (21) Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to
  Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD God of
  Israel, 'Because you have prayed to Me against
  Sennacherib king of Assyria, (22) this is the
  word which the LORD has spoken concerning him
  "The virgin, the daughter of Zion, Has despised
  you, laughed you to scorn The daughter of
  Jerusalem Has shaken her head behind your back!

50

• Isaiah 3731-38 And the remnant who have escaped
  of the house of Judah Shall again take root
  downward, And bear fruit upward. (32) For out
  of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, And those who
  escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of
  hosts will do this. (33) "Therefore thus says
  the LORD concerning the king of Assyria 'He
  shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow
  there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor build
  a siege mound against it. (34) By the way that
  he came, By the same shall he return And he
  shall not come into this city,' Says the LORD.
  (35) 'For I will defend this city, to save it
  For My own sake and for My servant David's sake.'
  "

51

• (36) Then the angel of the LORD went out, and
  killed in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred
  and eighty-five thousand and when people arose
  early in the morning, there were the corpsesall
  dead. (37) So Sennacherib king of Assyria
  departed and went away, returned home, and
  remained at Nineveh. (38) Now it came to pass,
  as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his
  god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer
  struck him down with the sword and they escaped
  into the land of Ararat. Then Esarhaddon his son
  reigned in his place.

Hezekiahs sicknessFifteen years were added to
his life

• Isaiah 381-8 In those days Hezekiah was sick
  and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son
  of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says
  the LORD 'Set your house in order, for you shall
  die and not live.' " (2) Then Hezekiah turned
  his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD,
  (3) and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I pray,
  how I have walked before You in truth and with a
  loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your
  sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly. (4) And the
  word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

53

• (5) "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD,
  the God of David your father "I have heard your
  prayer, I have seen your tears surely I will add
  to your days fifteen years. (6) I will deliver
  you and this city from the hand of the king of
  Assyria, and I will defend this city." ' (7)
  And this is the sign to you from the LORD, that
  the LORD will do this thing which He has spoken
  (8) Behold, I will bring the shadow on the
  sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the
  sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward." So the
  sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it
  had gone down.

54
Visitors from BabylonHezekiah showed them his
treasures

• Isaiah 391-2 At that time Merodach-Baladan the
  son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and
  a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that he had
  been sick and had recovered. (2) And Hezekiah
  was pleased with them, and showed them the house
  of his treasuresthe silver and gold, the spices
  and precious ointment, and all his armoryall
  that was found among his treasures. There was
  nothing in his house or in all his dominion that
  Hezekiah did not show them.

55
Isaiah warned that one day the treasures will be
carried away to Babylon

• Isaiah 396-7 'Behold, the days are coming when
  all that is in your house, and what your fathers
  have accumulated until this day, shall be carried
  to Babylon nothing shall be left,' says the
  LORD. (7) 'And they shall take away some of
  your sons who will descend from you, whom you
  will beget and they shall be eunuchs in the
  palace of the king of Babylon.' "

Isaiah 531-3 Who hath believed our report? and
to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? (2)
For he shall grow up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground he hath
no form nor comeliness and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty that we should desire
him. (3) He is despised and rejected of men a
man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief and we
hid as it were our faces from him he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
68
This Messianic Servant

• Will be wounded for our transgressions

Isaiah 534-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. (5)
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of
our peace was upon him and with his stripes we
are healed. (6) All we like sheep have gone
astray we have turned every one to his own way
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.
69
Will be oppressed though he had done no wrong
Isaiah 537-9 He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth he is
brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a
sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth
not his mouth. (8) He was taken from prison and
from judgment and who shall declare his
generation? for he was cut off out of the land of
the living for the transgression of my people
was he stricken. (9) And he made his grave with
the wicked, and with the rich in his death
because he had done no violence, neither was any
deceit in his mouth.

bruise him he hath put him to grief when thou
shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall
see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
(11) He shall see of the travail of his soul,
and shall be satisfied by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many for he shall bear
their iniquities. (12) Therefore will I divide
him a portion with the great, and he shall divide
the spoil with the strong because he hath poured
out his soul unto death and he was numbered with
the transgressors and he bare the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.

Glorified Zion In A New Dispensation

• Chapters 58-66
• In this new age, we will see
• Universal Redemption
• The Spiritual Kingdom
• The Seed of David, the Christ

73
Chapters 58-66

• Selfish worship will have to go 58
• God is still available 591-2

Isaiah 591-2 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save neither his ear
heavy, that it cannot hear (2) But your
iniquities have separated between you and your
God, and your sins have hid his face from you,
that he will not hear.
74
Chapters 58-66

• Injustice will have to go 593-15

Isaiah 593-15 For your hands are defiled with
blood, and your fingers with iniquity your lips
have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered
perverseness. (4) None calleth for justice, nor
any pleadeth for truth they trust in vanity, and
speak lies they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity. (5) They hatch cockatrice'
eggs, and weave the spider's web he that eateth
of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed
breaketh out into a viper.
75
(6) Their webs shall not become garments,
neither shall they cover themselves with their
works their works are works of iniquity, and the
act of violence is in their hands. (7) Their
feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed
innocent blood their thoughts are thoughts of
iniquity wasting and destruction are in their
paths. (8) The way of peace they know not and
there is no judgment in their goings they have
made them crooked paths whosoever goeth therein
shall not know peace. (9) Therefore is judgment
far from us, neither doth justice overtake us we
wait for light, but behold obscurity for
brightness, but we walk in darkness.
76
(10) We grope for the wall like the blind, and
we grope as if we had no eyes we stumble at
noonday as in the night we are in desolate
places as dead men. (11) We roar all like
bears, and mourn sore like doves we look for
judgment, but there is none for salvation, but
it is far off from us. (12) For our
transgressions are multiplied before thee, and
our sins testify against us for our
transgressions are with us and as for our
iniquities, we know them (13) In transgressing
and lying against the LORD, and departing away
from our God, speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart words of
falsehood.
77
(14) And judgment is turned away backward, and
justice standeth afar off for truth is fallen in
the street, and equity cannot enter. (15) Yea,
truth faileth and he that departeth from evil
maketh himself a prey and the LORD saw it, and
it displeased him that there was no judgment.
78

Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that

wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste
cities, the desolations of many generations. (5)

and your vinedressers. (6) But ye shall be
named the Priests of the LORD men shall call you
the Ministers of our God ye shall eat the riches
of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye
boast yourselves.
81
(7) For your shame ye shall have double and for
confusion they shall rejoice in their portion
therefore in their land they shall possess the
double everlasting joy shall be unto them. (8)
For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for
burnt offering and I will direct their work in
truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant

people all that see them shall acknowledge them,
that they are the seed which the LORD hath
blessed.
