  12. 2 Kings 15-16 • The Assyrian threat looms large. • Israel and Syria threaten Judah.

  13. The World Power: Assyria

  14. Micah

  15. Micah follows a familiar Old Testament pattern of prophesying of (1) present day despair, followed by (2) latter-day hope. Examples:

  16. Isaiah 6 Isaiah is called to be a prophet.

  17. Isaiah 6:1-2

  18. “An angel of God never has wings.” Joseph Smith President (History of the Church, 3:392)

  19. D&C 77:4

  20. Text Isaiah 6:4-5

  21. “… a live coal in his hand…” Isaiah 6:6

  22. “… this has touched thy lips…” Isaiah 6:7-8

  23. 2 Nephi 16:9-10

  24. Isaiah 1 Isaiah decries the wickedness of Israel yet offers hope.

  25. Isaiah’s Delicious Symbolism For example: Isaiah 1:3 • The oxknoweth his owner • And the asshis master’s crib • but Israeldoth not know (his owner), • my people doth not consider. Israel no longer knows his master. He has forgotten where to get proper nourishment & protection.

  26. The Sickness: Isaiah 1:4-6, 11-15 The Cure: Isaiah 1:16-19

  27. Isaiah 7-8

  28. Another Christmas Prophecy? Isaiah 7:14

  29. How was this prophecy fulfilled?

  30. The book of Isaiah contains numerous prophecies that seem to have multiple fulfillments. One seems to involve the people of Isaiah’s day or the circumstances of the next generation. Another meaning, often symbolic, seems to refer to events in the meridian of time…. Dallin H. Oaks Quorum of the Twelve (“Scripture Reading and Revelation,” Ensign, Jan. 1995, 8)

  31. Still another meaning or fulfillment of the same prophecy seems to relate to the events attending the Second Coming of the Savior. The fact that many of these prophecies can have multiple meanings underscores the importance of our seeking revelation from the Holy Ghost to help us interpret them. Dallin H. Oaks Quorum of the Twelve (“Scripture Reading and Revelation,” Ensign, Jan. 1995, 8)

  32. Besides in the Meridian of time, when else has He been “Immanuel”?

  33. Is He still “Immanuel”?

  34. Isaiah 7-8 Judah is offered a chance to have “God with them”

  35. Political Historical Background Syria and Israel form an alliance and try to get Judah to join them that they three together might take a defensive stance against the Assyrians (and survive).

  36. The World Power: Assyria

  37. The Assyrians: Masters of War

  38. “[Assyrian] soldiers were rewarded for every severed head they brought in from the field, so that the aftermath of a victory generally witnessed the wholesale decapitation of fallen foes…. Scribes stood by to count the number of prisoners taken and killed by each soldier, and apportioned the booty accordingly…. The nobles among the defeated were given more special treatment: their ears, noses, hands and feet were sliced off, or they were thrown from high towers, or they and their children were beheaded, or flayed alive, or roasted over a slow fire.… (Old Testament Student Manual 1 Kings-Malachi , p.114)

  39. “[T]he Assyrians seemed to find satisfaction … in torturing captives, blinding children before the eyes of their parents, flaying men alive, roasting them in kilns, chaining them in cages for the amusement of the populace, and then sending the survivors off to execution.” (Old Testament Student Manual 1 Kings-Malachi , p.114)

  40. Political Historical Background Syria and Israel form an alliance and try to get Judah to join them that they three together might take a defensive stance against the Assyrians (and survive). 2 Kings 15:37; 16:5; Isaiah 7:1

  45. Isaiah 7:8 “… the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus, Rezin …” Israel Judah

  46. Isaiah 7:1-8

  47. The Sign to King Ahaz Isaiah 7:10-16 If both kings of the alliance are deposed by the time the child “Immanuel” grows up, then you may take it as a sign that “God is with us” (Judah).

  48. Another Child? Isaiah 8:3-8

  49. Isaiah 8:3-8 Damascus • Assyria Conquers • Syriain 732 B.C. • Israelin 722 B.C. • All of Judahexcept Jerusalem by 701 B.C.
