There are no Isaiah chapters left to study!
We have discussed (some to a greater depth than others) all 66 of them!
Yes, a total of 191 Isaiah Lessons shave been written and posted here on the Website. (If I have counted correctly.) And they all have been archived for you to study (and review) as need be.
We know a good bit about Isaiah the preacher, the prophet. Even glimpses of Isaiah the man (the husband and father).
We know he preached under the reigns of several Judean Kings. Isaiah 1:1 … “The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.” In fact, he knew some of these men quite well. Looks to me like he had personal access to the Royal Palace under King Hezekiah.
But, do we known anything of Isaiah’s death?
Maybe not history as much a tradition now, but likely still accurate … the Prophet was martyred by wicked King Manasseh of Judah (son of good King Hezekiah)!
Hebrews 11:38-38 mentions this form of death, perhaps with Isaiah in mind. “They were stoned, they were SAWN ASUNDER, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.”
Notice the verb “sawn asunder.” It is believed by many that our Hero (Isaiah) was killed in that painful manner, for having preached God’s Word so faithfully!
Revelation 14:13 … “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
He is in Heaven today, no doubt rejoicing that he lived so diligently for the God he loved so dearly.
Wow!
