00:00Well, the Lord himself will give them a sign: the young woman is pregnant and will have a son whom
00:14He will name the southern kingdom Emmanuel; he might have the conviction that they had
00:23remained faithful to the Sinai covenant and to the Davidic dynasty which had received the
00:30promise of the perpetual covenant, on the other hand, the key temple as a sign of the constant and
00:36The perpetual divine presence does not prevent God from sending prophets to invite them to be less.
00:44superficial in worship and more supportive of others
00:48Isaiah, his name in Hebrew, and that Ja'u means key saves, this prophet summarizes his mission of
01:02Messenger of salvation for Israel in a time of military invasions, the greatest of writers
01:09Prophetic Isaiah began his prophetic work in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah, in the year 740.
01:19Before Christ, shortly before King Hosiah died, Isaiah's fame reached its peak.
01:27During the reign of droughts, he helped the king stop the Assyrian threat by trusting
01:35Only in God should the strategy to face opponents be founded on a solid faith
01:42This is the type of faith that Isaiah promoted among the people, even though we have a book called Isaiah.
01:50We must be aware that such a book corresponds to a period longer than two centuries, therefore not
01:59We can talk about a man named Isaiah who was a prophet for a period of more than 200 years; that's why
02:06Therefore, we accept at least three writers or editors who participate in the
02:14The composition of this book, the first Isaiah, narrates the beginning of his calling through the manifestation of
02:22the transcendence of God who, despite everything, is with his people at all times, let us read the call to the
02:29vocation of this prophet
02:31In the year that King Hosiah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a very high throne, the hem of his robe
02:41The temple was filled with beings like fire; above it stood each one with six wings, each with two wings.
02:51They covered their faces with two others, they covered their lower bodies, and with the other two they flew
03:00And they said to one another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
03:11Glory to resound this voice, the doors of the temple trembled, and the temple itself was filled with smoke, and I thought
03:20Woe is me, I am going to die! I have seen with my own eyes the King, the Lord Almighty. I, who am a man of
03:31impure lips and I live in the midst of a people of impure lips at that moment one of those beings
03:39It flew towards me like fire, holding a burning ember with tongs, which it had taken from above the
03:46altar and touching my mouth with it she said, "Look, this ember has touched your lips; your wickedness has been upon you."
03:56Your sins have been taken away and you have been forgiven. Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send?”
04:05Who will be our messenger? I replied, here I am, send me.
04:13Isaiah is called to be a messenger; he must fulfill the mission on behalf of God and the recipient of this
04:24His mission will always be His people; today God also needs men and women who will care for His
04:32Heed his call and go out to preach the message of salvation, the good news of the Lord.
04:39Today we too can give an answer to God, one that, in the face of the evident lack of volunteers, can help.
04:47Make us say, "Here I am, send me," and well, when Assyria threatens all of Palestine, Isaiah invites
04:58King Ahasuh, the king of Judah, trusts in the Lord who will show him his closeness; it is within this context that
05:05Where Isaiah announces the arrival of Emmanuel, this is a sign that is initially considered
05:13insignificant, but it reaffirms the perpetuity of the house of David and thus of his kingdom, so much so that
05:20The threat of war will disappear; the reign of Emmanuel is presented as a harbinger of an era
05:28The arrival of a mysterious messiah, who brings justice to his people, is golden.
05:36The establishment of universal peace: God does not abandon his people because he is faithful to his covenant and announces that
05:45A son of Ahaz will sit on his throne, and Assyria will not harm him, even though Isaiah's vision...
05:54It points to the birth of King Eskimos; his prophecy goes much further, as it thus announces an event
06:04coming, although not so near, and that event is the coming of Jesus Christ, the true God with
06:13Upon our ascension to the throne, Eskimos begins a strong campaign to undo all the damage.
06:20spiritual work done by his father, carrying out among other actions the opening of the temple, the elimination
06:27of pagan cults and the restoration of religious festivals with the help of Isaiah, King Hezekiah
06:36He becomes a reforming king who will unfortunately endure all the attacks coming from Assyria.
06:44The king who succeeded Hezekiah, his son Manasseh, sidelined the prophet and reverted to an attitude of infidelity to
06:53the alliance thus causing the outcome that had been so painstakingly avoided to be nothing more than...
07:00The late Isaiah was a man with a very prominent prophetic ministry, although little is known about him.
07:09His life, his main motivation as a prophet of God was to give glory to Him; Isaiah did not pursue the
07:17Neither fame nor recognition is important; this prophet teaches us that we must be focused on God above all else.
07:25Those of us who are dedicated to some kind of service within the church would find this story worthwhile.
07:33It is worth asking what my motives are for serving the Lord; this book can serve as a guide.
07:42In moments of reflection, Isaiah is presented as the prophet of faith who teaches us that only
07:50Unwavering trust in God, and not alliances with foreign nations, can bring peace and
07:59salvation to Israel
08:00in order to understand God's designs and the fulfillment of His promises, of which the most
08:12The arrival of the Messiah is important; it is important to remember that the Old and New Testaments...
08:18They illuminate each other, and the book most mentioned by the writers of the New Testament is precisely
08:26the book of the prophet Isaiah where we said we find a particular promise, that one
08:33which finds its fulfillment in the fullness of time when the Word is incarnate in the bosom of
08:40Mary, from her was born the savior who is Christ Jesus.
08:45The prophecy of Emmanuel is quoted in different ways by the evangelists Luke and Matthew.
08:53In the case of the Gospel according to Saint Luke, the angel Gabriel speaks of the son of Mary as one who comes from a
09:01royal or messianic ancestry in the case of the gospel according to Saint Matthew the angel announces to Joseph that the name of
09:11The child his wife will give birth to will be Jesus because he will save the people from their sins so that it may be fulfilled
09:19Thus, as the prophet said, they will name him Manuel, which means God with us; this is the idea that
09:30This theme dominates throughout this gospel and leads us to its conclusion with the certainty that
09:36We have a God who, as before, walks with his people. Jesus tells his disciples, "For my part, I will be with you."
09:45You all every day until the end of the world, Jesus is truly the Emmanuel announced by Isaiah
09:55He is God with us.
09:58Also around 740 BC, another prophet, Mikeas, emerged who fled along with the people.
10:13He left the fields because the Assyrians were plundering them, and he sought refuge in Jerusalem, as described in his book Micah.
10:21He denounces social injustice as the cause of the Assyrian threat; the prophet affirms that
10:29This way of oppressing the people represents a violation of God's law, therefore the Lord
10:37He laments the gravity of the moment, addressing the people and reminding them of everything he has done since the
10:45From the exodus from Egypt to the entrance of the promised land, faced with such a demand, the people feel
10:52Obsessed with making sacrifices that will lead to forgiveness of sins, the prophet then takes advantage
10:59To instruct the people, true worship is first and foremost a consistent and faithful behavior to
11:08The eyes of God, despite announcing ruin upon the exploitative city, and given that they trust in
11:16Their empty worship, focused on their own certainties and not on God, foretells that one day all peoples will
11:24They will gather in the new, purified Jerusalem
11:27a century later, around 640-630 BC, after the reigns of Manasseh and
11:42Amon, the prophet Zephaniah, arises in Jerusalem, living amidst social injustice, idolatry, and...
11:50Threats from pagan peoples, therefore a punishment is about to arrive; this will be the
11:57Great day of the Lord, let us read this passage
12:01The great day of the Lord is near; the day of the Lord is near, coming swiftly.
12:13Bitter even the bravest will cry out; then it will be a day of wrath, of anguish, and of ruin, and
12:22desolation of darkness and gloom, of clouds and deep shadows will be a day of trumpet and of
12:31A cry against fortified cities and their high towers, says the Lord, I will put the people in distress
12:40They will walk like the blind because they have sinned against me; their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh will be poured out like dust.
12:49Heaped up like dung on the day of the Lord's wrath, it will not save the people, nor their silver, nor their gold.
12:58For the fire of the Lord's anger will consume the whole land; all the inhabitants of the earth will be destroyed in a single instant.
13:09This predicted universal disaster is not the end of everything; on the contrary, it is intended to show the beginning of a new era, a remnant of Israel that will survive.
13:26Zephaniah appears to announce the faithfulness of this small remnant that waits and trusts in the key.
13:34The words described in this text that we have just read would inspire a Christian hymn in the Middle Ages
13:43known as ten I will later be integrated into the proper office for the deceased
13:49And so the drought reform has been forgotten, and Assyria has subjected Judah to servitude.
13:58Manasseh had been able to build altars to strange gods in the temple of Jerusalem and had sacrificed his son to pagan gods.
14:08His son Amon followed in his father's footsteps and was killed, so his son Josiah had to reign with the help of a council
14:19Zephaniah teaches and encourages that the terrible day awaited for the unbelievers will cause no harm to the poor and humble who trust in the Lord.
14:31In a time when everything seemed to be going wrong, the young King Josiah appears.
14:43who at the age of eight was appointed king since his father Amun was assassinated two years into his reign
14:52Josiah undertakes a reform that attempts to turn the hearts of the people back to the God of the covenant.
14:59Restoration work on the Temple of Jerusalem began around 622 BC.
15:08providentially he finds the basis of the document that over time will become the book of Deuteronomy
15:17The king gathers the people around the temple and the book of the law of Moses is read.
15:25Passover is celebrated as a festival for the entire community centered around the temple and the Davidic king.
15:33This reform was made possible by the internal struggles within the Assyrian Empire.
15:38and that will prepare the birth and strengthening of the Babylonian empire
15:44Josiah until his death around 609 BC
15:50He put all his effort into helping the people rediscover how to live according to God's will.
16:00and
