Prince of Prophets (23 of 66)
Series: Route 66: A Road Trip Through the Bible
Tony Thomas
Isaiah
When you think of artists you think of Michelangelo or Picasso. When you think of composers you think of Beethoven or Bach. When you think of presidents you think of Washington or Lincoln. When you think of coaches you think of John Wooden or Pat Summit. And when you think of prophets, Isaiah tops the list!
Isaiah was the most articulate, the best educated, the most intelligent, and - with the exception of Daniel -
the most influential of all the prophets.
Isaiah was the ''blue-blood'' of the prophets. He knew how to relate to the upper-crust. His vocabulary was unequalled. His writing drips with eloquence!
For example, he writes in Isaiah 6 (KJV):
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphim, and each one had six wings: with twain he covered his face, with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Reading Isaiah is like listening to an orator. I can think of two great speeches in American history: the Gettysburg Address and the I Have a Dream speech. One was delivered by a log-splitter; the other fell from the lips of a descendant of slaves.
We've had several orators as guests here at Woodland Heights, and each speaker had his own style. Wayne Shaw spoke to us about the churches in Revelation. Kent Paris gave his testimony about homosexuality. Dr. Terry Mortenson packed the house for three nights representing the Creation Museum. And CY Kim preached on the knees!
If Isaiah was a guest speaker, you'd sit in silence and listen to every word. But that wasn't true in his day! Some of the kings did not appreciate his message. In fact, they turned up their noses (like you when you hear opera).
