Question;
What future does 2 Isaiah envision for Israel?
Answer:
{FYI: Second Isaiah is a term that refers to chapters 40-55 of the book of Isaiah in the Old Testament. These chapters are believed to be written by an unknown prophet during the Babylonian Exile of the Jews in the sixth century BCE. Second Isaiah expresses hope and faith in God’s redemption of Israel and his plan to become the God of all nations. Second Isaiah is also known as Deutero-Isaiah and is considered one of history’s greatest religious thinkers. The translation and interpretation of Second Isaiah may use new material from the Dead Sea Scrolls. Deutero-Isaiah is a name given to the section of the Book of Isaiah that consists of chapter 40. Some scholars believe that this section was written by a different author than the preceding and following chapters, based on differences in style, language, and historical context. According to this theory, Deutero-Isaiah was a prophet who lived during the Babylonian captivity and proclaimed Yahweh as the universal God and the hope of the exiles. Others reject this theory and maintain that Isaiah was a single author who wrote the whole book.}
