Isaiah Chapter Fourteen

The book of the fantastic prophet Isaiah is important on many levels. The prophet was given wonderful prophecies about the Messiah, the Last Days and the Millennial Kingdom. Perhaps this is why it is one of my favorites. I believe that it is significant that the Book of Isaiah was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Judean desert at Qumran. It was complete and almost identical to the Scripture that we have today with the differences being primarily spelling.

The sixty-six chapters of the Book of Isaiah mirror the sixty-six books of the Bible. The division of those chapters into thirty-nine chapters referred to by scholars as the Book of Judgment, and the twenty-seven chapters referred to as the Book of Comfort also mirror the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Further, the Book of Isaiah contains both Alphabetic and Torah Patterns. Please click HERE for details. The Torah Patterns found in chapters eleven through fourteen are very interesting.

It is chapter fourteen that contains the five blasphemous statements of Satan (Isaiah 14:13-14):

“For thou hast said in thine heart,

  1. I will ascend into heaven,
  2. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
  3. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
  4. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
  5. I will be like the most High.
These five statements show just how much Satan wants to usurp the Most High God. But the Lord will have the victory! This very next verse of chapter fourteen describes Satan’s end:
“Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides (the deepest portion) of the pit.” – Isaiah 14:15
I am so thankful that the Lord will be victorious. Praise His name!
