“Question & Answer”

Question:
What reasons in the book of Isaiah itself for speaking of a school of prophets under the leadership of Isaiah?
Answer:
Isaiah 8:16 says, “Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.” According to some commentaries, this verse is spoken by God the Father and refers to the word of God, especially the doctrine of the Messiah. The expressions “bind up” and “seal” are understood prophetically, meaning that the doctrine shall be bound up and sealed. This can be interpreted as meaning that the doctrine will be secure and preserved among Isaiah’s disciples, but also kept secret and hidden from others until its fulfillment.
