Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 1:1
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
1. THE GENERAL TITLE OR PROGRAM applying to the entire book: this discountenances the Talmud tradition, that he was sawn asunder by Manasseh. Isaiah —equivalent to " The Lord shall save "; significant of the subject of his prophecies. On "vision," see 1 Samuel 9:9 ; Numbers 12:6 ; and see my Numbers 12:6- : Judah and Jerusalem —Other nations also are the subjects of his prophecies; but only in their relation to the Jews ( Numbers 12:6- : ); so also the ten tribes of Israel are introduced only in the same relation ( Numbers 12:6- : ). Jerusalem is particularly specified, being the site of the temple, and the center of the theocracy, and the future throne of Messiah ( Psalms 48:2 ; Psalms 48:3 ; Psalms 48:9 ; Jeremiah 3:17 ). Jesus Christ is the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" ( Jeremiah 3:17- : ). Uzziah —called also Azariah ( 2 Kings 14:21 ; 2 Chronicles 26:1 ; 2 Chronicles 26:17 ; 2 Chronicles 26:20 ). The Old Testament prophecies spiritually interpret the histories, as the New Testament Epistles interpret the Gospels and Acts. Study them together, to see their spiritual relations. Isaiah prophesied for only a few years before Uzziah's death; but his prophecies of that period ( Isaiah 1:1-6 ) apply to Jotham's reign also, in which he probably wrote none; for Isaiah 7:1-25 enters immediately on Ahaz' reign, after Uzziah in Isaiah 7:1-23.7.25- : ; the prophecies under Hezekiah follow next. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
