Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Isaiah

    What two cities are mentioned in verse 1:10 (KJV)?Isaiah

      Sodom and Gomorrah. Isaiah 1:10 "Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah." We get the word sodomy from the city of Sodom.

    Whose birth is prophesied in chapter 7 according to Christians?Isaiah

      Jesus. Chapter 7 discusses how the a child will be born and will resist evil to help the people of the world. The child was to be named Immanuel, which both Christians and Jews agree upon. However, only the Christians believed that Immanuel was Jesus.

    In Isaiah 9:6 he uses many names to describe the Savior. Which is not one mentioned in that verse?Isaiah

      King of Kings. Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah does not use the name "King of Kings" at all. The first time it is used in reference to a Messiah is I Timothy 6:15.

    What will happen to the water in Nimrim according to Isaiah 15:6 (KJV)?Isaiah

      It will become desolate.. Isaiah 15:6 "For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate: for the hay is withered away, the grass faileth, there is no green thing." Nimrim is located on the southeast border of the Dead Sea. (http://www.christnotes.org/dictionary.php?dict=sbd&id=3202).

    What does Isaiah 35:6 (KJV) say the lame will do?Isaiah

      leap. Isaiah 35:6 "Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert." I wasn't sure myself what "an hart" was so I looked it up on dictionary.com. An hart is a male deer, especially the red deer.

    Who does the king in Isaiah 36:18 warn the people not to be persuaded by?Isaiah

      Hezekiah. Isaiah 36:18 "Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?" Hezekiah's name means "God has strengthened."

    Who is Isaiah's father?Isaiah

      Amoz. Isaiah 37:21 "Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria." Amoz is Hebrew for "strong".

    What does Isaiah 40:3 say to prepare?Isaiah

      The way of the Lord. Isaiah 40:3 "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." This is another verse that, according to Christians, prophesies the coming of Jesus Christ.

    What animal are humans compared to in Isaiah 53:6?Isaiah

      sheep. Isaiah 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." Sheep out in the field have a tendency to wander and need to be led back to their fold.

    What is the last word in the book of Isaiah (KJV)?Isaiah

      flesh. Isaiah 66:24 "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." I hope you enjoyed this quiz. The next quiz shall be questions based on the book of Jeremiah.

    In chapter one, Isaiah introduced himself as one who had visions during the reigns of several kings of Judah. According to chapter six, Isaiah was commissioned the year one of those king died. Which king was that?The Book of Isaiah

      Uzziah. Uzziah was also called Azariah. He reigned from 792 to 740 BC. The details of his reign can be found in 2 Kings 15:1-7 and 2 Chronicles 26:1-23. 2 Chronicles in particular wrote about how he "did what was right in the eyes of the Lord" until his pride got the better of him. He usurped the role of the priests by burning incense in the temple. He was punished with an immediate case of leprosy that he had for the rest of his life. His son, Jotham, took care of running the country during his illness. Isaiah 1:1 recorded that Isaiah prophesied under Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. These kings reigned from 792 to 686 BC all total.

    In chapter two, Isaiah gave a prophecy about the mountain of the Lord in the last days. What did he say about it?The Book of Isaiah

      Peoples from other nations would come to the mountain.. The 'mountain of the Lord' can also be read as Mount Zion. The last days may indicate after the arrival of the Messiah. However, the message implied that faith in the Lord would be not for Judah and Israel alone but for Gentiles as well. The passage went on to declare a time of peace in the last days as 'nation will not take up sword against nation'. (Isaiah 2:4)

    At his commission, Isaiah had a vision of the Lord. Which beings were above Him, calling to one another, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord Almighty..." in verse 6:3?The Book of Isaiah

      Seraphs. This was the only mention of seraphs in the Bible. They were described as having six wings: "With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying." (Isaiah 6:2) Isaiah was shaken by the vision and immediately made aware of his 'unclean lips'. One of the seraphs purified the lips of Isaiah, preparing him for service.

    In chapter seven, Isaiah gave the famous prophetic sign "the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel." (verse 14) Isaiah gave this prophecy to the king during a time of disaster. What worrying circumstances was the king, the recipient of the prophecy, facing?The Book of Isaiah

      War. King Ahaz of Judah found himself facing the forces of King Rezin of Aram and King Pekah of Israel. Judah and Israel had divided long ago, following the reign of Solomon. Ahaz was considered to be of the house of David. Rezin and Pekah were attempting to persuade Ahaz into an alliance against Assyria. Many Christians see this as a sign of Mary's giving birth, as a virgin, to Jesus. Other scholars see the sign as a promise that in nine months their enemies would have given up. Immanuel means "God with us".

    Isaiah 11:1 contains another possible Messianic prophecy about a shoot coming from a stump. Which Biblical figure did Isaiah state would be the stump from where the shoot would come?The Book of Isaiah

      Jesse. Jesse was the father of David. The Messiah was promised to come from the house of David and by default of Jesse as well. Judah would later be destroyed and taken into exile. The dynasty was then effectively cut off from the throne. In verse 10 of the same chapter, it stated, "...the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples". Again, another possible prophetic message of the Messiah being open to all nations.

    Chapters 36 and 37 dealt with a worrying force against King Hezekiah. Which king threatened the land of Judah?The Book of Isaiah

      Sennacherib. Sennacherib was the king of Assyria and reigned from 705 to 681 BC. Assyria had already destroyed Israel under the reign of Shalmaneser. (2 Kings 17:1-6) Sennacherib's field commander came to bargain, doing so in Hebrew so the people of Jerusalem would understand and perhaps revolt. Isaiah sent a prophecy that Assyria would not be successful, and Hezekiah prayed to the Lord for deliverance. After another prophecy against Sennacherib, Isaiah 37:36 wrote, "Then the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp."

    Isaiah 40:3 talks about "a voice calling 'in the desert prepare the way for the LORD'. According to Matthew 3:3, who was Isaiah identifying? The Book of Isaiah

      John the Baptist. John the Baptist is known to Christians as the man who preached repentance in preparation for the coming Messiah. Isaiah 40:3 also stated: "Make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God." Both of these terms are related to the idea of repentance. John's residence during his ministry was in the wilderness where he ate locusts and honey.

    The term 'anointed' in Israel could also mean to be chosen for God's divine work. Ironically, which non-believer did the Lord say He would anoint in Isaiah 45:1?The Book of Isaiah

      Cyrus. "This is what the Lord says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I take hold of..." (Isaiah 45:1) Cyrus was an emperor of a foreign land, the Persian empire. According to the previous chapter, Cyrus was ruler when he allowed Jerusalem to be rebuilt. Judah would later be carried off into exile by Babylon, but Persia would conquer Babylon. This event was recorded in the book of Ezra. "Moreover, King Cyrus brought out articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away..." (Ezra 1:7)
