Now that we've completed an overview, please continue with us as we dig into the details of this book's structure and thematic content. 

There are two main divisions, and we already understand this book as a virtual “map” of the final 66-book Scriptures containing the Old and New Testaments. In this lesson, we'll also examine the distinct change in style and message that logically separate the first part of the book, chapters 1 ~ 39, from the second part, chapters 40 ~ 66.

Because of the stark diversity between the first and second parts, some scholars assume that the second part, that which maps into the New Testament books, must have been written by a second Isaiah who lived as late as the fourth century BC. 

Listen-in and begin to discover these key differences in this book. You'll learn more about both parts of the book, and that the second part speaks more to God’s grace, comfort and prophetic completion that is the New Testament "Age of Grace" dispensation!

God arranged and inspired His purposes in the Bible to be preserved throughout the timeline of this 7,000-year dispensation. The final form is in 66-books. The book of Isaiah was written well before most of the canonized, final Scriptures to be contained in the Bible were themselves written! 

Because the Lord uses His Word to prove His mastery of the temporal dimension of time, and also the spatial dimensions of the physical universe, we can stand in amazement and awe at our great God and gain faith as we study and discover these wonders.

In the preceding lessons, we proved (and have been using) the dispensations model. It is the baseline for understanding the cadence of God’s master timeline. Through this view we have laid out before us the sure past and future history of the earth’s 7,000 year “creation week” temporal lifespan.

As Christians aware of the God Who created all things, and being entitled to know His plans for them, we wait for the ultimate renewal of this broken universe. We look forward to the prophetic promises found in God’s Word, the Scriptures.

Now, let’s begin our examination of the book of Isaiah as a “miniature Bible”!

Continue with the class as we discern more deeply why God's plan for the Age is based on, and articulated through the dispensations model.

To aid our study of the greatly prophetic "miniature Bible" that is the book of Isaiah - and to better understand God's general plan for the Age, we need to know how God executes that plan. 

God's mind and heart creates and executes His desires in a most intentional way. He is the God of order and not of chaos. His plans and His ways reflect this. To get the most out of His Word and our relationship with Him, and to build our fund of knowledge about His Word with wisdom, we must understand how God executes on them. God clearly bases All He does in time in dispensations.

What does this mean? It simply means that God uses distinct, and sometimes recurring patterns in His dealing with His creation and the history of it, as based on the foundation of time. We can easily observe this, as it is seen many times and in many ways across His Word and its historical and prophetic story line.

God makes His use of the dispensation model clear to us:

Hebrews 1:1~2  God, who at sundry (different) times and in divers (various) manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days (the time frame of end of the Age) spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

We know that God, Himself does not change, but how He deals with the world and human beings through the age does modify as it rolls out on the linear timeline of this universe, according to what is required to accomplish His will. 

Join us to learn more about the importance of looking at the Bible in the revealing light of dispensations.

Our study moves forward to the book of Isaiah. This book was written by the prophet named Isaiah in the 8th century BC. His was a sixty-year ministry in the 740~680 BC timeline.   

Known as the “Messianic Prophet”, the name Isaiah means “salvation of the Jehovah”. This title was actually the underlying main theme of his ministry and the book he authored. The Gospel message is so comprehensively laid out in this book that it was even called “the fifth Gospel” by such as Augustine. 

Please continue along with us as we embark on this very prophetic and relevant book of of the Old Testament. You'll learn why this book, with sixty-six chapters was planned by God to map into the final sixty-six books of the Bible! You also find this, along with the book of Daniel, a key resource to understanding God's plans for the dispensation of the very end of the age, beginning with the Church Age at the coming of Jesus Christ and the Cross and the lead up to the very near Time Of Jacob's Trouble - The final 7-year Tribulation.

Are you ready to learn of Isaiah's broadcast of the complete Scriptures and the coming Messiah to Israel and all who would read and study his book?

In this lesson we summarize and conclude our study of the beauty and depth of meaning of the Song Of Solomon. As you study with us now, remember the what you've already learned as we plumbed the depths of this emotionally strong book. 

As you listen, and if you are truly saved in Christ, ask yourself how you personally map into this love story. Compare the desire you personally have for your soon-coming Lord and King as a called-out one, a member of the very body of Jesus Christ and His betrothed - the "Eve" to His Second Adam. 

His coming for His Bride won't be long delayed now. How ready are you to be brought home to be joined to him in his Father's house?
