ISAIAH’S CONTRIBUTION TO THEOLOGY
By the Prophet Isaiah
SCRIPTURE
Isaiah
2:22. Stop trusting in man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for of what
account is he?
Isaiah
5:21. 21 Woe to
those who are wise in their own eyes, and think they are shrewd!
Isaiah
8:20. To the law and to the testimony: if they do not speak according to this
word, it is because there is no light in them.
Isaiah
28:9-10. To whom can he teach knowledge? and who will
he enable to understand doctrine? Those who are weaned from
milk, and withdrawn from the breasts.
10 For truth must be upon truth, truth upon truth; line upon
line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Isaiah
55:9-11. 9 For
as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain and snow comes down from
heaven, and does not go back again, but waters the earth, and makes it produce
and blossom, so that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
11 So will the word that goes out of my mouth be: it will
not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I want, and it will achieve
what I sent it to do.
GOD
Isaiah
29:16. You have turned things upside down as if the potter were the same as the
clay: for shall what is made say about his maker, He did not make me? How can what is formed say of the one who formed it, He does not
understand?
Isaiah
41:4. Who has planned this and carried it out, guiding the destinies of
generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and the last; I am he.
Isaiah
43:10-15. You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have
chosen: so that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: no
God was formed before me, and there will be none after me.
11 I, even I, am the LORD; and there is no savior other
than me.
12 I said that I would save, and I have shown that I am
God, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses,
says the LORD.
13 Yea, before the first day dawned and forevermore I am God;
and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand: When I do something, who
can undo it?
14
¶ The LORD,
your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says; For your sake I have sent to
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of
Isaiah
44:8. Do not be fearful, or afraid: didn’t I say that it would happen long ago,
and tell you about it? you are my witnesses. Is there
any God besides me? there is no other God; I do not
know of any.
Isaiah
45:5-6. I am the LORD, and there is none other, there is no God besides me: I
will strengthen you, though you have not known me:
6 So that they may know from the rising of the sun, and
from the west, that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no
one else.
Isaiah
45:18. For the LORD who created the heavens; God himself who formed the earth
and made it; who put it in place, who did not create
it to be a desert, but formed it to be inhabited, says: I am the LORD; and
there is no other.
Isaiah
46:6-9. Men pour gold from a bag, weigh silver in the balance, and hire a
goldsmith to make a god of it: then they fall down, yea, they worship it.
7 They lift it upon their shoulders, and carry it, then they
set it down in its place, where it stands; never moving from its place: yea,
when you call to it, it cannot answer, or save you from trouble.
8 Remember this, and be convicted like men: take it to heart, O
you transgressors.
9 Remember the former things that happened long ago: and realize
that I am God, and there is no other; I
am God, and there is none like me,
Isaiah
48:12-17. Listen to me, O Jacob and
13 My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my
right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call them, they stand forth
together.
14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and listen; is there anyone
among them who has foretold these things? The man whom the LORD has loved: will
do what he wants him to do to
15 I, even I, have foretold it, I have called him: I will
bring him, and cause what he does to prosper.
16
¶ Come near to
me, listen to this; From the beginning I have not said anything in secret; from
the time that it was, there I am: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, has
sent me.
17 The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says; I
am the LORD your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way that
you should go.

with his ear, or seen with his eyes, any God, besides you, who acts on behalf
of the one who waits for him.

Isaiah
49:7. This is what the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, says, to him whom people despise, and nations abhor, to
a servant of rulers, When kings see you they will get up, and princes will bow
down, because the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, is faithful, and he chose you.
Isaiah
49:25-26. The LORD says this, Yes the spoil of the mighty will be taken away,
and the tyrant’s captives will be freed: for I will fight with him who fights
with you, and I will save your children.
26 And I will make those who oppress you eat their own
flesh; and they will be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and
everyone will know that I Jahweh am your Savior and
your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
CHRIST’S NATURE

conceive, and bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.

Isaiah
10:21. The remnant, those who remain of Jacob, will return to the mighty God.
Isaiah
12:2&6. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for

also become my savior.
6 Cry out and shout, you who live in
Isaiah
44:6. The LORD the King of
Isaiah
44:24. The LORD, your redeemer, he
who formed you in the womb, says, I am the LORD who made all things; who
stretched out the heavens alone; who spread out the earth by myself;
Isaiah
45:21. Speak up, and present your case; yes, let them take counsel together:
who predicted this long ago? who announced it from
ancient times? Was it not I the LORD? and there is no
other God besides me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me.
Isaiah
54:5. … your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He
will be called the God of the entire earth.

we all are the work of your hand.
Isaiah
66:1-2. The LORD says, The heavens are my throne, and
the earth is my footstool: where is the temple that you will build for me? and where is the place for me to rest?
2 For my hand has made all these things, so they are all
mine, says the LORD: but this is the man to whom I will look, even to him who
is humble and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
THE FALL
Isaiah
43:27. Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against
me.
SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
Isaiah
44:16-19. He burns part of it in the fire; on another part of it he roasts meat
which he eats; satisfying his hunger: yea, he warms himself, and says, Aha, I
feel warm before the fire:
17 And out of what remains of it he makes a god, his idol:
he falls down before it, and worships it, and prays to it, and says, Save me;
for you are my god.
18 Such men do not know or understand: for he has shut their
eyes, so that they cannot see; and their minds, so that they cannot understand.
19 No one thinks about it in his mind, or has
the comprehension or understanding to say, I burned part of it in the fire; and baked bread. I have roasted meat
over its coals, and eaten it: shall I make the rest of it into an abominable
thing? shall I bow down to the trunk of a tree?
SATAN
Isaiah
14:12-15. How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how you are cut down to the ground, O you who laid the
nations low!
13 For you said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I
will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit on the mountain of the
congregation, on the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the highest clouds; I will be like
the most High.
15 But you will be brought down to hell, to the sides of the
pit.
MAN’S NATURE
Isaiah
64:6-7. 6 ¶ For we are all like an
unclean thing, and all of our righteousnesses are
like filthy rags; and we all wither like a leaf; and our iniquities sweep us
away like the wind.
7 And there is no one who calls on your name, who rouses
himself to take hold of you: for you have hidden your face from us, and have
consumed us, because of our iniquities.
Jeremiah
17:9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can
know it?
MAN’S REBELLION AND SIN’S CONDEMNATION
Isaiah
1:15& 21-23. When you spread out your hands, I will close my eyes to you:
yea, when you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of
blood.
21
¶ How has the
faithful city become an harlot! once it was full of
justice; and righteousness lived there; but now murderers.
22 Your silver has turned to dross, your wine is mixed with
water:
23 Your rulers are rebellious, and friends of thieves:
everyone loves bribes, and runs after gifts: they are unjust to orphans, and
the widow’s case never comes before them.
Isaiah
9:12-13. The Syrians from the east, and the Philistines from the west; and they
will devour
13 For the people will not turn to him who strikes them, nor
will they seek the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah
3:9. The look of their faces testifies against them; and they openly declare
their sin like
Isaiah
3:16-18. The LORD also says, Because the daughters of
17 The Lord will cause scabs on the heads of the daughters
of
18 On that day the Lord will take away their finery: the
tinkling ankle bracelets around their feet, and their headbands, and their
crescent head ornaments,
Isaiah
5:8. Woe to those who join house to house, and field to field, until there is
no more room, that they may dwell alone in the midst of the earth!
Isaiah
5:20-22. Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for
light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and think
they are shrewd!
22 Woe to those who think it is manly to drink wine, and
they are brave to mix strong drink:
Isaiah
13:19-20.
20 It will never be inhabited again, nor will it be lived
in from generation to generation: no Arabian will pitch their tent there; nor
will the shepherds let their flocks rest there.
Isaiah
29:16. You have turned things upside down as if the potter were the same as the
clay: for shall what is made say about his maker, He did not make me? How can what is formed say of the one who formed it, He does not
understand?
Isaiah
30:9-10. For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not
hear the law of the LORD:
10 Who say to the seers, Do not see; and to the prophets, Do
not prophesy what is right, tell us pleasant things, prophesy lies:
Isaiah
43:21-22. The people whom I have formed for myself,
will sing my praise.
22
¶ But you have
not called on me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of me, O Israel.
Isaiah
43:24. You have not bought me sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me
with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have burdened me with your sins, you
have wearied me with your iniquities.
Isaiah
58:13-14. 13 ¶ If you stop trampling on
the sabbath, and doing as you please on my holy day;
and call the sabbath day a delight, and the holy day
of the LORD, honorable; and honor him, by stopping your own work, and not doing
as you please, or talking idly:
14 Then you will be delighted in the LORD; and I will make
you ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of
Jacob your father: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it.
Isaiah
59:1-4. Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor is
his ear too deaf to hear:
2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God, and
your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers
with evil; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters perversity.
4 No one calls for justice, or pleads for truth: they
trust in falsehood, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth
iniquity.
Isaiah
59:7&14. Their feet run to do evil, and they are quick to shed innocent
blood: their thoughts are of doing evil; ruin and destruction is in their wake.
14 So justice is rejected, and righteousness remains far
away: for truth has fallen in the street, and honesty cannot enter.
Isaiah
63:10. But they rebelled, and grieved His holy Spirit:
therefore He became their enemy, and fought against them.
Isaiah
63:17. O LORD, why have you let us err from your ways, and harden our heart so
we do not fear you? Return for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your
inheritance.
Isaiah
65:1-5. I was sought by those who did
not ask; I was found by those who did not seek me: I said, Look to me, look to
me, to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 All day long I stretch out my hands to a rebellious
people, who are living in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts;
3 A people who continually provoke me to my face; who
sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense on altars of brick;
4 Who remain among the graves, and lodge in the tombs, who
eat swine’s flesh, and a broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Who say, Stay where you are, do not touch me; for I am
holier than you. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day long.
CHRIST’S BIRTH
Isaiah
7:14. Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign; Behold, a virgin will
conceive, and bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah
9:6-7. 6 For
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government will be on
his shoulders: and his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty
God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will
be no end, on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and
to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for
evermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Isaiah
11:1-3&10. A shoot will come out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch will
grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD will rest upon him, the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of
knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And it will make him quick to understand, and his delight
will be in the fear of the LORD: and he will not judge by what he sees, or
decide by what he hears:
10
¶ In that day
there will be a root of Jesse, who will rise up as a standard for the people;
and the Gentiles will seek him: and his rest will be glorious.
CHRIST’S CRUCIFIXION
Isaiah
25:7-9. On this mountain he will remove the veil of grief cast over all people,
and the covering that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD
will wipe away tears from all faces; and he will remove the reproach of his
people from all the earth: for the LORD has spoken.
9 ¶ On that day they
will say, This is our God; we have waited for him, and he has saved us: this is
the LORD; we have waited for him, let us rejoice that he has saved us, and be
glad.
Isaiah
52:4-15. Behold, my servant will be successful, he will rise be lifted up on
high, and exalted.
14 Many were amazed at him; his appearance was more
disfigured than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
15 So he shall sprinkle many nations; kings will stand in
silence before him: having never been told what they now see; and never
understood what they now hear.
Isaiah
53:1-12 Who
has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the
LORD revealed?
2 For he will grow up before him like a tender plant, and
like a sprout from a root in dry ground: he has no form or splendor; and when
we look at him, there is no glamour that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows,
who knew suffering: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised,
and we did not value him.
4 ¶ Surely he has taken
on himself our pains, and carried our sorrows: yet we regarded him as
condemned, struck down by God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised
for our iniquities: the punishment that brought us peace was upon him; and by
his stripes we are healed.
6 Like sheep we have all have gone astray; each of us has
turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was mistreated, yet he did not
open his mouth: he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who at
that time understood? for he was cut off from the land
of the living: and struck down for his people’s sins.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich
in his death; because he had not committed any crime, nor was any deceit in his
mouth.
10
¶ Yet it was
the will of the LORD to bruise him; he has caused him to suffer: and when you
make him an offering for sin, he will see his seed, he will prolong his days,
and the will of the LORD will succeed by his hand.
11 He will see it out of his anguish, and will be
satisfied: by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many; for he will
bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore I will give him many people as his share, and he will
divide the spoil with the strong; because he has poured out his life in death:
and lets himself be numbered with the transgressors; while he takes on himself
the sins of many, and makes intercession for the those who rebel.

33:10 Now I
will arise, says the LORD; now I will lift myself up; now I will be exalted.
SALVATION

19:20. … When they cry to the LORD because of those who oppress them, he will
send them a savior, and a great one, and he will deliver them.

is everlasting strength:
Isaiah
27:11. … these people do not understand their need for
God’s mercy: therefore he who made them will not have mercy on them, and he who
formed them will show them no favor.

and honor me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from me, and
their fear for me consists of learning man-made rules:

not remember your transgressions.

Isaiah
59:1. Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor is his
ear too deaf to hear:
SALVATION FOR ALL
Isaiah
56:3-7. No foreigner, who has joined himself to the LORD, should say, The LORD
has excluded me from his people: nor should the eunuch
say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For the LORD says to the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take
hold of my covenant;
5 I will give to them a place in my house, and within my
walls a name better than that of sons and of daughters: I will give them an
everlasting name, that will not be cut off.
6 And give the same to the children of
foreigners, who join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, to bless the name of
the LORD, and to do his will, every one who keeps the sabbath
without desecrating it, and embraces my covenant;
7 I will also bring them to my holy mountain, and make
them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for
all people.
REPENTANCE

55:7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and
let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah
66:2-3. For my hand has made all these
things, so they are all mine, says the LORD: but this is the man to whom I will
look, even to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my
word.
3 A hypocrite [one who is unrepentant] who
kills [sacrifices] an ox is like one who kills a man; one who sacrifices a
lamb, as if he cut off a dog’s neck; one who offers food, as if he offered swine’s
blood; one who burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen
their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

51:17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: and God will not despise a
heart that is humbled and sorry for sin.

sing my praise.

65:1-2. I was sought by those who did
not ask; I was found by those who did not seek me: I said, Look to me, look to
me, to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 All day long I stretch out my hands to a rebellious
people, who are living in a way that is not good, following their own thoughts;
PRESERVATION
Isaiah
41:10. Do not be afraid; for I am with you: do not be discouraged; for I am
your God: I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; I will hold you up with
the right hand of my righteousness.
FREE WILL

people, causing them to err.

back the way you came.
GOD’S CHURCH

2:2. It will come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S
house will be established at the top of the mountains, and will be raised above
the hills; and all nations will flow to it.
Isaiah
66:7-14. Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she
delivered a man child.
8 Who has heard of anything like this? who
has seen such things? Shall a country be born in one day? or
shall a nation be born in a moment? for as soon as
9 Shall I cause a child to open the womb, and not cause to be
born? asks the LORD: shall I cause it to be born, and
shut the womb? asks your God.
10 Rejoice with
11 That you may suck, and be satisfied from her comforting
breast; so that you may drink deeply, and be delighted from the fullness of her
glory.
12 For the LORD says, Behold, I will extend peace to her
like a river, and the wealth of the nations like a flowing stream: then you will
nurse, you will be carried on her side, and bounced on her knee.
13 As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you;
and you will be comforted in
14 And when you see this, your heart will rejoice, and your
limbs will flourish like green grass: and it will be known that the hand of the
LORD is with his servants, and his indignation is against his enemies.
GOD’S BLESSING ON A NATION
Isaiah
60: 4-5. Lift up your eyes look around, and see: they all gather together, and
come to you: your sons will come from far, with your daughters faithfully at
their side.

tremble, and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea is turning to you, and
the wealth of the nations will come to you.
SANCTIFICATION

us.
Isaiah
32:5. The vile person will no longer be called liberal, or the scoundrel said
to be honorable.
FASTING
Isaiah
58:3-7. Why have we fasted, they ask, when you do not see? why
have we afflicted our soul, when you do not notice? Look, when you fast you do
what you want, and mistreat all your workers.
4 Behold, when you fast you quarrel and fight, and hit with a
wicked fist: fasting as you now do, will not cause your voice to be heard on
high.
5 Is this the kind of fasting that I want? when a man denies himself for a day? is
it to bow your head like a bulrush, and make your bed of sackcloth and ashes? do you call this fasting, and a day that pleases the LORD?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to break the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens,
to remove every yoke, and let the oppressed go free?
7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry, and bring
the homeless and poor into your house? To clothe the naked when you see him;
and that you do not avoid your needy relatives?

direction of your paths.

by them are destroyed.

afflicted among my people of what is right, so that they can prey on widows,
and rob orphans!

33:22. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our
king; and he will save us.
DEATH
Isaiah
57:1-5&12. The righteous dies, and no one cares:
kind men are swept away, and no one realizes that the righteous is taken away
from the evil to come.
2 He will enter into peace: all who walk in his
righteousness will rest in their own bed.
3 ¶ But come here, you
sons of a witch, you children of an adulterer who live in sexual sin.
4 Who is it that you are mocking? Against whom are you are opening your mouth, and sticking out your
tongue? are you not children of sin, born of a lie,
5 Who burn with lust among the oaks under every green tree,
butchering children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the stream;
indeed, they are your lot: you have even poured out a drink offering to them,
you have offered a meat offering. Should I be indifferent to this?
12 I will expose your self righteousness, and your works;
for they will be of no benefit to you.

like a consuming fire:

66:16-18. For the LORD will execute judgement on all
flesh by fire and by his sword: and many will be slain by the LORD.

themselves in the gardens behind a tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and
abominable things, and mice, will be consumed together, says the LORD.

is coming, when I will gather all nations and tongues; and they will come, and
see my glory.

caves of the earth, to escape the terror of the LORD, and the glory of his
majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
20 On that day men will throw the idols of silver and gold,
which they made for themselves to worship, to the moles and to the bats;

crevices among the crags, to escape the terror of the LORD, and the glory of
his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth.
Isaiah
13:9-11. Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, cruel with rage and fierce

longer give her light.

wicked for their sin; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and
will lay low the haughtiness of tyrants.
Job

will suck the milk of nations, and nurse at royal breasts: and you will know
that I JAHWEH am your Savior and your Redeemer, the
mighty One of Jacob.

bring silver instead of iron, brass instead of wood, and iron instead of
stones: I will give you a government of peace, and your rulers will be
righteousness.
18 Crime will no longer be heard of in your land, or
desolation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls
Salvation, and your gates Praise.
19 No longer will the sun be your light by day; or the moon
shine to give you light by night: but the LORD will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
20 Your sun will no longer go down; nor will your moon
withdraw itself: for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and the days of
your mourning will be over.
21 All of your people will be righteous: they will inherit
the land for ever, a branch that I planted, the work of my hands, so that I may
be glorified.

another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh
will come to worship before me, says the LORD.

those who have rebelled against me: for their worm will not die, nor will their
fire be quenched; and everyone will abhor them.
