Part of my assignment mentioned that I could make this on a blog, so here I am! This is meant to be about a topic that I learned about in Writings of Isaiah this semester. I hope you like it!
Isaiah was a prophet. He wrote using a lot of symbols, which can inspire or be confusing.

Isaiah taught the people about Christ. Christ was the best teacher of all. This is my father (on the left). He is a teacher. We should try to live our lives after the pattern Christ set for us. "The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values" - William S Burroughs. My dad taught me well.
Isaiah saw Christ's day. He knew Christ's characters and of His kindness and mercy.

Isaiah warned people to keep the commandments or be destroyed. His warnings are called "burdens" and there are a lot of them especially in the beginnings of Isaiah.

In Isaiah chapters 17 & 18, Isaiah talks about a bad harvest and then a good harvest. If we are wicked, our "harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow." (Isaiah 17:11). If we are righteous, we shall be protected "like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest." (Isaiah 18:4)

| Let Us Beat Swords Into Plowshares statue at the United Nations Headquarters, New York City; sculpture by Evgeniy Vuchetich, 1959; picture from www.plough.com A very famous scripture from Isaiah is Isaiah 2:4, where Isaiah speaks of the peace that will be on the earth. This will happen only as we teach to love one another. We will have no more need for weapons of war and shall "beat [our] swords into plowshares." |
