In this video, Dr. Andy Abernethy from Wheaton College gives us a brief overview of the historical setting of the book of Isaiah. This video is part of a series of videos from the Ridley Certificate.

So much history happens in this period covered by Isaiah. Much like Daniels book.

0:30 Isaiah saw the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah
Judah was one of the twelve tribes of Israel but over time it took on the name of a nation, of the Southern Kingdom
1:05 930BC just after the reign of Solomon, divide of the unified nation of 12 tribes into two, Israel (10 tribes to the north, aka Ephraim) and Judah (2 tribes—Judah, Benjamin—to the south)
Judah is where Jerusalem was and where the Davidic kings would reign
1:40 Isaiah’s message is primarily directed to Jerusalem (Judah)
1:50 Uzziah aka Azariah and His Son Jotham brought(? Or inherited?) peace during 700s BC
2:20 Ahaz and Hezekiah faced three crises: 1) 735BC Isaiah chapter 7: Aram and Israel, nations to the north, formed a coalition against Judah; but Assyria attacked Aram and Israel, preventing them from conquest of Judah //is there any indication or reason to believe that Judah and Assyria may have communicated to form an alliance?
3:15 2) the Assyrian empire was again on the rise in the 700sBC, now called the Neo-Assyrian Empire under kings: Sargon, Tigaleth Pileser III, Sinnacherib

Very helpful and informative, but the background drums are an annoying distraction interfering with listening to the man teaching.

[mousefudge]

Would be much better without the music. Thank you for the content. God bless.

[misseli]

Beat music is  irritating when drowns out words.

[josephs]

Why don't you make some more videos of other prophet it very nessaary for church of God..

[studywithmefolks]

Nice video, but did God really divide the nation of Israel, or was it the fact they were getting "taxed " so much they broke away?

I don't think this was something that God had intended.

[anyutka]

Watch at 1.25x speed. You are welcome.

[paulmuhle]

I do not thing the "divine" came down and divided Judah from Israel. The Assyrian empire played a large role in what will happen to both Judah and Israel. The political trumps the theological.

[peggymcdonald]

you need to look into the camera when you talk! and don't talk down to it! thanks for your insights. mike

[ronnywhite]

Great explanation. The drums are annoying!
