Isaiah's Veracity Confirmed by Jesus!
Question: Wikipedia says that Isaiah was completed in 732 BCE and that Isaiah died in 698 BCE. Is it possible that he could have written all 66 Chapters in 34 years?
According to the work of Dr. Ginsburg, and tabulated by Dr. Bullinger, Isaiah was “receiving the Word of The Lord”, in the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
That gives two fixed dates, and 46 years when undoubtedly “the Word of Jehovah came through Isaiah, and God spoke by him”.
In Jewish tradition, Isaiah was killed by Manasseh by sawing him in two.
If that is a fact, then Isaiah received God’s visions from approx. 649–584 B.C. = 60+ years.
If Isaiah was approx. the same age as Samuel, Jeremiah, and Daniel at the beginning of their ‘ministries’, (16–18 years), then one may conclude that the length of his life was approx. 81– 83 years.
It is concluded from the above that the whole length of Isaiah’s ‘visions’ is 61 years, (649–588 B.C.).
