It is reasonable to think that if God is God, and he wrote a book about what he has done, he would be able to prove it is his book beyond any reasonable doubt. This would involve making it clear that only God could write it the way it has been written. The purpose of these pages is to show he has done this, and to explain how it proves it is from God. This is about the prophecy of Isaiah in the Bible, and its 66 chapters, as they introduce the 66 books of God. What we have here is the most exciting and fascinating information available to man. All I have to do is convince you of that. I have set up the hypothesis for this study as follows: "The chapters of Isaiah's prophecy give a summary of each of the books of the Bible." If this is so, then the purpose of Isaiah would be to bind the 66 books of the Bible together as the inspired writings of God. For the hypothesis to be true, each verse of each chapter of Isaiah must relate to the book in question. To explain this it is necessary to cite each verse and show the relevance to the book. The key that unlocks this message involves the first verse of the chapter with the last verse of the chapter, that points you to the book to which it refers. The subject of the book is in the middle verse or verses of the Isaiah chapter. I will give you 66 examples of this as we progress. There are several reasons for developing this hypothesis: 1. There are 66 chapters in Isaiah and 66 books in the Bible. 2. It has long been recognized there is a division of the book of Isaiah at chapter 40. This would make thirty nine chapters for the Old Testament books, and twenty six for the New Testament. 3. Every chapter (except two groups of four) deal with different subjects, which shows we are not dealing with a particular history or argument, so we are entitled to ask why the chapters do not connect. The two groups are interesting, they are chapters 36, 37, 38 and 39 that speak of Hezekiah, and chapters 52, 53, 54 and 55 that speak of Messiah. 4. Isaiah is a difficult book to understand, unlike any other in scripture. 5. The New Testament writers used Isaiah to prove what they wanted to say about Gentiles. There are or verses about one hundred and fifty direct quotations or allusions from Isaiah in the New Testament. So it is reasonable to suspect that Isaiah is the proof of all things. The rules that apply for examining this hypothesis are: 1. The issue in the chapter and the issue in the book must match, and this must be explained in such a way there is no doubt they are linked. 2. The first verse of the chapter in Isaiah should define the issue in the chapter and the issue in the book. And the last verse of the chapter, make a similar obvious connection. 3. The middle verse, or verses of the chapter, will give the subject matter of the book. 4. The size of the chapter is usually in proportion to the size of the book. This can vary with the size of the subject. If it is a small book with a large subject, it could be a large chapter. 3. There should be a significant list of connections between the chapter of Isaiah and the book to which it refers. 4. Each verse of the chapter must make sense in relation to the book. A connection must be a quotation or allusion or an argument on the same subject. Some will have difficulty with the parables of the Old Testament, because they may not have met them before. We need to keep in mind this information in the parables is not for everyone. Usually it is preserved for certain people at a special time and place. For instance it may be for convincing Jews of the twenty second century that Jesus is Messiah. That will involve showing how their own scripture, the Old Testament, spoke of the things outlined in The New Testament. The lord used parables to withhold information from those for whom it was not intended, and deliver it to those who were to know these things. So the idea there is more to know keeps those who read the 66 books going. And they accept that what is worth knowing is hidden, and needs to be searched out. A feature of this work is our understanding of prophecy will expand because it was restricted to things we recognize clearly as prophetic. When you encounter the prophetic parables it will blow you away. It will also give you information you did not have and could not have, unless this information is given in this way. You will notice I avoid referring to other sections of scripture to explain my point. I believe that having to leave the argument to look up a quotation is such a distraction that it destroys the flow of thought. The proof in this instance, is if it makes sense, and clicks into place. If it does not, then you are entitled to complain. I have chosen to put the books in King James Version order, which is as close as we have to what is perceived as a chronological order, or roughly in time sequence. There is a different order such as the one chosen by the Jewish Old Testament or even the order of Isaiah which puts Genesis at the start and Revelation at the end, but the others are arranged inexplicably. The advantage of the arrangement we have chosen, is it is easy to know where you are, because we are familiar with that order. The other is we are taught to think chronologically, and we like the idea of things following a time sequence. Mind you "time" is an issue with which we must contend. It was introduced when we were made subject to vanity by God. We were given seventy years to work out where we stand, and then time is taken away because we die. And the male of the species wear what is called a "Watch" on their left hand, and the females wear one on the right hand, and we watch it all day. Time is our control, and to a great extent it is an oppressor, and there is another element to time, for those who have little interest in reading the 66 books. They tell us that time is measured in millions of years, where the 66 books is concerned with the last 6000 of those years. Scripture tells us there are more stars in the heavens than there are specs of sand on the sea shore, and we believe that. But we are willing to concentrate on the 6000 years God has told us about in the 66 books. Each book of the 66 has a purpose. There is an issue to be dealt with or information to suggest, and part of this journey is to identify what these are. I have suggested the subject at the beginning of each chapter and it represents the hypothesis for that chapter and book. There are some surprises and some startling revelations. We are going to discover things we did not know. The question is; are we willing to accept there are things we do not already know. Are we in tune with the one who invented the music?
