TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Isaiah the
Statesman
By REV. EDWARD TABER

Isaiah, greatest of the prophets
of Jewish history, was also a
statesman who greatly influenced
the secular life of the nation.
A man of influence and power
in many branches of the life of
the nation, Isaiah did not hesitate
to proclaim the truth as he saw
it in the matter of the alliances
Of the nation with foreign powers.
At the time Of Hezekiah, king
of Judah, there was strong senti-
ment for Judah to ally herself
with Egypt in the hope of
resisting invasion from Assyria.
Against the pro- Egyptian party,
Isaiah threw all his great in
fluence.
Egypt had long before this
passed the peak of its power.
Great in tradition, and still main
tanning a semblance of display
in its court, the nation was yet
utterly unable to give Judah ma
terial assistance. The Jewish
people had everything to lose by
an alliance with Egypt.
Servants of King Hezekiah
were sent to Isaiah to obtain
counsel as to matters of state.
Upon receiving the reply of the
prophet, the King prayed for
deliverance from the enemy.
After this Isaiah predicted Jeru-
salem would be saved, and the
army of Sennacherib destroyed.
This prediction was fulfilled, and
Jerusalem was temporarily saved
from invasion.
Great as Isaiah undoubtedly
was a statesman, he was un-
questionably a greater force in
matters of religion. An aristo-
crat by birth and training, he
used all his great energy in
labor for his people.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-12-10

In the second chapter Of the
book of Isaiah occurs the often
quoted prophecy concerning the
eventual ceasing of war; "They
shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks, nation shall not
lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any
more"
In this present troubled con-
dition of the world in general,
and Europe in particular, it is
well to remember this ancient
prophecy of Isaiah. If we could
not believe that war will even
tually cease from the face of
the earth, we could have but
little hope for the progress of
mankind. War has been, obvious
~, the great folly of history.
Advancing intelligence on the
part of the great masses of
men, as we'll as a keener reali-
cation of the moral and spiritual
blight of international conflict.
VIII some day bring to pass the
time of genuine peace on earth,
good will toward men.
A chapter great both in its
prophecy of the coming Messiah
and in its lofty beauty of Ian
guage is the fifty-third chapter
of the book. This great passage.
supposedly written by the Second
Isaiah" moves with majestic
beauty and gives a most pheno-
menally accurate picture of the
Christ who came to Israel many
years later.
Isaiah, preacher, prophet and
statesman, brought to Judah and
Israel a lofty religious message
and sound, practical statesman
