Isaiah study & commentary

In 1947 in cave 1 of Qumran a complete copy of the Isaiah scroll was found among the Dead Sea scrolls.  There was no difference in the text found with the texts used to write our bible. 

The first 39 chapters seem to be different than the last 27.  The first 39 carry the message of judgment of sin.  The second part brings the message of forgiveness, comfort and hope. The book of Isaiah has the same layout as the bible.  The first 39 books bring the message of sin and its judgement.  We see the holiness of God and his requirements.  Then in the 27 books of the New Testament we see our hope, forgiveness and comfort made available by our redeemer.

Isaiah was a man of rank.  He had direct access to the king.  Isaiah is the highest level of Hebrew writing.  There are many writing styles used in the book.  There are encryptions contained in the book. 

Isaiah was married and had 2 sons.  Tradition says he was Martyred by Manasseh by being sawn in half.  Hebrews 11 talks of prophets sawn asunder.
