Extracts from Prophecy
According to the Talmud, Isaiah son of Amoz was the brother of King Amaziah of Judah (father of King Uzziah) and the father-in-law of Hezekiah. King Manasseh of Judah was his grandson and also his executioner (Talmud, Yevamot 49b).
Isaiah lived for 120 years (Agadat Breishit 14, Chasidah).
Isaiah was therefore himself of royal blood of the House of David.
The teachings of Isaiah influenced the early Zoroastrian religion of Iran some of whose texts resembles translations of Isaiah.
The prophets Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Micah, all lived in the same era.
The name Isaiah in Hebrew is "Yeshiyahu" meaning the "The LORD Saves".
The State of Israel is a Jewish country and the anti-Semites want to destroy it.
Their primary motivation is anti-Semitism.
We have been warned about this in the sources.
If we repent God will forgive us and show us favor (Isaiah 1:18-19) but if not violence will overtake us (1:20).
Violence, fraud and graft are among our major offences (1:21-23). This will eventually change.
The "bad eggs" among us will be removed (1:24-25, 28).
The term "Zion" (1:27) according to Midrash Tanchuma in Prophecy can also represent Joseph. "Joseph" mainly represents the English-speaking peoples.
We will be ashamed of our pagan practices and punished through them and for them (1:29-31).
Until now the House of Jacob (Yanks and Union Jack) have denied their Israelite origins and brotherhood with Judah ("REJECTED THY PEOPLE" Isaiah 2:6) and followed pagan foreign practices.
To possess the "Gates of those who hate you") had been a blessing promised to Israel (Genesis 22:16-17 24:60).
Hordes of foreigners from a distant nation at the geographical extremity of a continental land mass (5:26) will attack Israel with rockets, guns, armored vehicles and flying machines (5:28). They will take captives and darken the sky (5:30).
Only a tenth will remain and they too will undergo severe tribulation (6:13).
A Midrash (Pesikta Rabah 33;25).says that Isaiah prophesied concerning all nations of the earth.
The Exiled Israelites will call to God from the British Isles and from the West.
The Whole of the Promised Land will belong to Israel. All the Jews of Judah and all the Israelites from the Lost Ten Tribes will return. Disaster will have overtaken Ephraim but a remnant will repent and be saved. Judah will suffer for not keeping the Law as much as it should have been kept. Nature will change. The Assyrians and all other enemies of Israel will be punished.
Israel is at the ends (geographical extremities) of the earth and in the Island. Israel must return to the Almighty. God is pleading with us to return to Him (Isaiah 43:26). Israel will return. Israel will have transported African slaves in chains, possessed the Suez Canal and India and vast resources. Israel will be called names derived from Jacob such as Yank, Union Jack, Jock. By returning to God all the Seed of Israel shall be justified and find glory.
Members of the Tribes of Israel will be informed who they are and what Tribe they belong to. Their Israelite Ancestry will be acknowledged. The Temple must be rebuilt and Israel restored for our own sakes. Those who were lost amongst the Gentiles will be brought back. The good amongst the Gentiles will be rewarded. Nature will change. A Resurrection of the Dead will take place.
Midrash Tanchuma (Breishit) saying that:
# "EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO JOSEPH OCCURRED TO ZION. THE MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH IS IN THE NORTH. THE NUMERICAL VALUE OF ZION (156), SAYS THE MIDRASH (TANCHUMA), IS THE SAME AS THAT OF JOSEPH.
1: 16 'WASH YOURSELVES, MAKE YOURSELVES CLEAN;
REMOVE THE EVIL OF YOUR DEEDS FROM MY SIGHT.
CEASE TO DO EVIL,
17 LEARN TO DO GOOD;
SEEK JUSTICE,
REPROVE THE RUTHLESS,
DEFEND THE ORPHAN,
PLEAD FOR THE WIDOW.
Your prayers and worship will not be accepted unless you act righteously (1:12-16) meaning especially the practice of social justice with protection and care for the vulnerable (1:17).
1: 18 'COME NOW, AND LET US REASON TOGETHER,'
SAYS THE LORD,
'THOUGH YOUR SINS ARE AS SCARLET,
THEY WILL BE AS WHITE AS SNOW;
THOUGH THEY ARE RED LIKE CRIMSON,
THEY WILL BE LIKE WOOL.
1: 27 ZION WILL BE REDEEMED WITH JUSTICE
AND HER REPENTANT ONES WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.
