Excerpt from Isaiah Translated and Explained, Vol. 2: An Abridgement of the Author's Critical Commentary on Isaiah
In the days of Hezekiah, the national corruption had already passed through several phases, each of which might still be traced in its effects, and none of which had wholly vanished. Some times the prevailing tendency had been to make the ceremonial form of the Mosaic worship, and its consequent coincidence in certain points with the religions of surrounding nations, an occasion or a pretext for adopting heathen rites and usages, at first as a mere extension and enlargement of the ritual itself, then more boldly as an arbitrary mixture of heterogeneous ele ments, and lastly as an open and entire substitution of the false for the true, and of Baal, Ashtoreth, or Moloch, for Jehovah.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses a pivotal period of history during the reign of King Hezekiah, when the nation of Judah faced tumultuous times. Amidst idolatry and national corruption, the author offers a profound examination of the true nature and purpose of the Mosaic Law and the significant role of the chosen people, the Israelites. The book elucidates the misconceptions surrounding the significance of the Mosaic Law, emphasizing its symbolic nature rather than its intrinsic efficacy. It further underscores the distinction between Israel's national preeminence and its spiritual vocation as a vehicle for God's universal plan. Through an exploration of prophecies, the author sheds light on the impending judgment upon the carnal Israel while affirming the enduring hope for the true Israel, the remnant who faithfully adhered to the covenant. The author delves deep into the themes of sin, error, and the consequences of rebellion against God's covenant. Through a multifaceted exposition of key events in Israel's history, such as the Babylonian Exile and the return from captivity, the book unveils God's unwavering faithfulness despite human shortcomings. It underscores the significance of the coming Messiah as the ultimate deliverer and highlights the contrast between the temporary and restrictive Mosaic dispensation and the glorious liberty of the new covenant. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the profound themes of Israel's history and its spiritual trajectory, offering invaluable insights for understanding the broader biblical narrative. It provides a nuanced exploration of the complexities within Israelite society and their implications for the nation's relationship with God, leaving readers with a deepened comprehension of the significance of Israel's journey.
