ISAIAH

This is an excerpt from the paper...

Isaiah 6: 1 -- 9 represents the "call" of Isaiah, the Prophet. The reader is really not sure whether Isaiah was actually in the Temple when the seraphim came to him and, in a sense, anointed him and removed his sins, which would allow him to act upon the prophesies. Isaiah, so he says, volunteered to serve his God. "While other prophets have left an account of their call to prophecy (Amos 7:15, Jer. 1: 4-10, Ezek. 1 3-15) this is remarkable for its dramatic and majestic quality" (Herbert 1973 59). Isaiah surely was one of Israel's major prophets. This can be proven by the fact that "almost any introduction to the Hebrew Bible contains a mentionaof the Great Isaiah Scroll from the Dead Sea caves" (Handy 1997 32).

What is important about these verses is their universality. The fact that, before Isaiah, and afterwards, in the Old and New Testaments, in the Holy Quran and other religious works, there are examples of this "calling" - the forgiveness by God of human sins, and the desire and ability to go forth and preach the Holy Word.

Isaiah's writings are open to question as to whether they were written at that particular date in time, or whether there were various creators of some of the verses, especially since there were some events which are mentioned and which could not have happened at the time of Isaiah. As a matter of fact, there are historical rabbinical arguments that there was a second, even a third "Isaiah". It seems that "the theme of forgive

This certainly tiers in with Isaiah's statement "This people's wits are dulled" (Isaiah 6:10). The Quran also builds on Isaiah's commentary on the words of God: "And the blind and the seeing are not equalaLittle do you reflecta" (Quran, 2311), which follows closely Isaiah's recitation of the words of God: "You will look and look again but you will never know" (Isaiah 6:8). "Messengers" listed in this Islamic Holy Book include Moses, Jesus, and the major Hebrew prophets, and, of course the major "messenger" of Allah's - Muhammad. These messengers serve as interpreters of the mercy and forgiving nature, as well as the threats of destruction. These messages coming from the lips of sanctified humans who are responding to what they believe to have been direct communications with God, tend to alert the people much more than merely to attempt, for themselves, to hear this heavenly voice. It can also be assumed that both Muhammad and Isaiah, who came from upper- or upper-middle class backgrounds had to sacrifice something special in terms of worldly goods to become the messengers of God. Remember, Isaiah said, q
