이사야의 예언적 메시지: 예루살렘에 대한 심판과 희망

### 이사야의 예언적 메시지: 예루살렘에 대한 심판과 희망
* 📖 이사야서는 이스라엘 왕국 시대 후반에 예루살렘에 살면서 **유다와 예루살렘의 지도자들에게 심판의 경고**를 전한 선지자 이사야의 삶과 메시지를 기록하고 있습니다.
* ⚖ 이사야의 주된 메시지는 이스라엘의 부패한 지도자들에 대한 심판으로, 그들이 우상 숭배와 압제를 계속하면 **하나님의 언약을 거역하는 행위가 앗수르와 바벨론 제국을 통한 하나님의 보복**으로 이어질 것이라고 경고했습니다.
* 🌟 그러나 이사야는 하나님께서 궁극적으로 **다윗의 혈통에서 왕을 보내셔서 당신의 왕국을 세우시고 모든 민족에게 구원을 가져다주심**으로 언약의 약속을 성취하실 것이라고 믿었기에 이러한 경고와 함께 희망의 메시지도 함께 전했습니다.
* 🔥 이사야의 문학적 구조는 복잡한데, **1~39장은 심판에 초점을 맞추고 예루살렘의 멸망과 바벨론 유배로 절정**에 달하며, 동시에 **하나님 백성의 미래 회복에 대한 희망의 약속**도 담고 있습니다.
* 🌱 이사야의 비전의 핵심은 **회개하는 남은 자들이 새 예루살렘을 건설**하여 하나님의 통치 아래 평화와 정의의 시대를 여는 예루살렘의 정화에 있습니다.
* 👑 이사야의 예언에는 **다윗 가문의 그루터기에서 나타나 모든 피조물에 정의와 변화를 가져와 새로운 왕국에 대한 희망**을 실현할 **메시아 왕, 엠마누엘이 오실 것**이라는 내용이 담겨 있습니다.
* 🌍 이사야 메시지의 다음 부분은 그의 시대를 넘어 **바빌론을 비롯한 제국의 흥망성쇠**를 다루며 궁극적으로 하나님이 통치하고 모든 민족에게 치유를 가져다주는 **새 예루살렘**을 구상합니다.
* 📜 이사야의 경고는 하나님의 심판이 목적이 아니라 **그분의 약속을 성취**하고 **그분의 왕국을 세우기 위해 그분의 백성을 정화**하고 준비시키는 수단임을 상기시키는 역할을 합니다.

이사야는 예루살렘의 지도자들에게 임박한 심판에 대해 경고하는 동시에 미래의 메시아 왕국에 대한 희망을 제시합니다.

The book of the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah lived in Jerusalem in the latter half of Israel's Kingdom period, and he spoke on God's behalf to the leaders of Jerusalem and Judah. He spoke first of all a message of God's judgment; he warned Israel's corrupt leaders that their rebellion against their covenant with God would come at a cost, that God was going to use the great empires of Assyria and, after them, Babylon to judge Jerusalem if they persisted in idolatry and oppression of the poor. But that announcement was combined with a message of hope. Isaiah believed deeply that God would one day fulfill all of his covenant promises: that he would send a king from David's line to establish God's kingdom (remember 2nd Samuel 7), that he would lead Israel in obedience to all of the laws of the Covenant made at Mount Sinai (remember Exodus chapter 19), and all of this was so that God's blessing and salvation would flow

outward to all of the nations like God promised to Abraham in Genesis chapter 12, and it's this hope that compelled Isaiah to speak out against the corruption and idolatry of Israel in his day. Now the book has a pretty complex literary design, but there's one simple way to see how it all fits together: chapters 1 through 39 contain three large sections that develop Isaiah's warning of judgment on Israel, and it all culminates in an event pointed to at the end of chapter 39 - the fall of Jerusalem and the exile of the people to Babylon - but in chapters 1 to 39 there's also a message of hope that after the exile God's covenant promises would all be fulfilled, and chapters 40 to 66 pick up that promise of hope and develops it further. In this video we're just gonna focus on chapters 1 to 39. The first main section focuses on Isaiah's vision of judgment and hope for

Jerusalem, and it begins as Isaiah accuses the city's leaders of Covenant rebellion, idolatry, injustice, and God says he's going to judge the city by sending the nations to conquer Israel. Isaiah says that this will be like a purifying fire that burns away all that's worthless in Israel in order to create a new Jerusalem that's populated by a remnant that has repented and turned back to God, and Isaiah says that that's when God's kingdom will come and all nations will come to the temple in Jerusalem and learn of God's justice, bringing about an age of universal peace and harmony. Now, it's this basic storyline of the old Jerusalem, purifying judgment into the New Jerusalem, this is going to get repeated over and over throughout the book getting filled in with increasing detail. So, at the center of this section is Isaiah's grand vision of God sitting on his throne in the temple, and he's

surrounded by these heavenly creatures that are shouting that God is holy, holy, holy, and Isaiah suddenly realizes just how corrupt he and his people Israel are, and he's certain that he's going to be destroyed by God's holiness, but he's not. God's holiness in the form of this burning coal comes and burns him, but not to destroy, rather it purifies him from his sin. And as Isaiah ponders this strange experience, God commissions him with a very difficult task: he is to keep announcing this coming judgment, but because Israel has reached a point of no return, his warnings are going to have a paradoxical effect of hardening the people. But Isaiah is to trust God's plan. Israel is going to be chopped down like a tree and left like a stump in a field, and that stump will itself be scorched and burned, but after all of that burning, God says that this smoldering stump is a holy

seed that will survive into the future. It's a small sign of hope, but who or what is that Holy Seed? The rest of this section offers an answer. Isaiah confronts Ahaz, a descendant of David and a King of Jerusalem, and he announces his downfall. God says that it's the great empire of Assyria who will first chop Israel down and devastate the land, but there's hope. Because of God's promise to David, he's going to send after this destruction a new king named Emmanuel, which means God with us, and Emmanuel's Kingdom is going to set God's people free from violent oppressive empires. Isaiah describes this coming king as a small shoot of new growth that will emerge from the old stump of David's family. It's this king that's the holy seed from chapter six, and the king is going to be empowered by God's Spirit to rule over a new Jerusalem and bring justice for the poor and all nations.

will look to this messianic king for guidance. His kingdom will transform all creation, bringing peace. Now you finish chapters 1 through 12 with pretty good understanding of Isaiah's message of judgment and hope, but when will this all happen? Isaiah saw another Empire arising after Assyria, and that's Babylon, who would also attack Jerusalem and actually succeed in destroying it, and that brings us in the next sections of the book. So first we have a large collection of poems that explore God's judgment and hope for the nations. We learn first of all of the fall of Babylon and Israel's neighbors. Isaiah could see that a serious world power would one day be replaced by the empire of Babylon, a nation even more destructive and arrogant. Babylon's kings claimed that they were higher than all other gods, and so God vows to bring Babylon down. And not only Babylon, Isaiah goes on to list Israel's neighbors, accusing them all of the same kind of

pride and injustice, and he predicts their ultimate ruin. But remember, for Isaiah, God's judgment is never the final word for Israel or the nations, and that leads into the next section with a series of poems that tell a tale of two cities. There's the lofty city that has exalted itself above God and become corrupt and unjust. This city is an archetype of rebellious humanity and is described with language that's all borrowed from Isaiah's earlier descriptions of Jerusalem and Assyria and Babylon, all put together. This city is destined for ruin and one day is going to be replaced by the New Jerusalem, where God reigns as king over a redeemed humanity from all nations, and there's no more death or suffering. These chapters are the climax to this section, and it shows how Isaiah's message pointed far beyond his own day; it was a message for all who are waiting for God to bring his justice on violent oppressive

kingdoms and bring his kingdom of justice and peace and healing love. The following section returns the focus to the rise and fall of Jerusalem, and first we find a whole bunch of poems where Isaiah accuses Jerusalem's leaders of turning to Egypt for military protection against Assyria. He knows this will backfire, and Isaiah says that only trust in their God and repentance can save Israel now, which gets illustrated by the following story about the rise of Hezekiah, king of Jerusalem. Just as Isaiah predicted, the Assyrian armies come and try to attack the city, and so Hezekiah humbles himself before God, and he prays for divine deliverance, and the city is miraculously saved overnight. But Hezekiah's rise is immediately followed by his fall. So he hosts a delegation from Babylon, and he tries to impress them by showing everything in Jerusalem's treasury and temple and palaces. It's clearly an effort to make another political alliance for

protection. Isaiah hears about this, and he confronts Hezekiah for his foolishness. He predicts that this ally will one day betray him and return as an enemy to conquer Jerusalem, and we know from 2nd Kings chapters 24 and 25 that Isaiah was right. Over a hundred years later, Babylon would turn on Jerusalem, come and destroy the city, its temple, and carry the Israelites away to exile in Babylon. And so, all of Isaiah's warnings of divine judgment in chapters 1 to 39 lead up to this moment. He's shown to be a true prophet because it all came to pass like he said. But remember, the purpose of God's judgment was to purify Jerusalem and bring the holy seed and messianic Kingdom over all nations, and it's that hope that gets explored in the next part of the book. But for now, that's what Isaiah chapters 1 to 39 are all about.

이스라엘 왕국 시대 예루살렘의 선지자 이사야는 예루살렘과 유다의 지도자들에게 심판과 희망의 메시지를 전했습니다.

그는 이스라엘의 우상 숭배와 억압으로 인해 앗수르와 바빌론 제국을 통한 하나님의 심판이 임박했음을 경고했습니다.

이 책은 크게 두 부분으로 구성되어 있는데, 1~39장은 심판과 예루살렘의 멸망에 초점을 맞추고, 40~66장은 희망의 약속과 하나님의 언약 약속의 성취를 전개합니다.

예루살렘의 변화에 대한 이사야의 비전

이사야는 예루살렘의 지도자들의 반역과 불의를 고발하고 정복을 통한 하나님의 심판을 이끌어냅니다.

이 정화의 불은 회개한 남은 자들로 채워진 새로운 예루살렘을 만들고 하나님의 나라와 보편적 평화를 가져올 것입니다.

하나님의 거룩함에 대한 이사야의 비전은 이스라엘의 멸망에서 거룩한 남은 자들이 나타날 것이라는 약속과 함께 하나님의 정화와 심판을 선포하는 어려운 임무로 이어집니다.

이사야의 심판과 희망의 메시지

이사야는 예루살렘의 아하스 왕과 대면하여 그의 몰락과 앗수르에 의한 이스라엘의 황폐화를 알립니다.

멸망에도 불구하고 하나님께서는 다윗의 혈통에서 정의를 실현하고 창조 세계를 변화시킬 새로운 왕 엠마누엘을 약속하십니다.

이사야는 또한 바빌론이 파괴적인 제국으로 부상할 것을 예언하며 같은 오만함을 보이는 이스라엘의 이웃 국가들과 함께 바빌론을 무너뜨리겠다고 다짐합니다.

이사야의 심판과 구원의 메시지

이사야는 교만하고 불의한 도시들을 반역적인 인류의 전형으로 삼아 그 도시들의 파멸을 예언합니다.

이 메시지는 이러한 도시들이 궁극적으로 하나님께서 구속받은 인류를 다스리실 새 예루살렘으로 대체될 것을 가리킵니다.

그런 다음 예루살렘의 지도자들은 이집트에 보호를 요청하지만 이사야는 하나님을 신뢰하고 회개하는 것만이 이스라엘을 구원할 수 있다고 강조합니다.

이사야는 동맹을 구하는 히스기야에게 이 동맹이 자신을 배신하고 예루살렘을 정복할 것이라고 예언합니다.

백여 년 후, 바빌론은 도시를 파괴하고 이스라엘 사람들을 추방함으로써 이 예언을 성취합니다.

하나님의 심판의 목적은 예루살렘을 정화하고 메시아 왕국을 세우는 것이지만, 이사야의 신의 심판에 대한 경고는 이 순간까지 이어지며 진정한 선지자로서의 역할을 보여줍니다.
