ISAIAH
(Yeshayahu)
The Book of Isaiah begins the Major Prophets in the Tanakh from Isaiah through Daniel. The first verse identifies the author of the Book of Isaiah as the Prophet Isaiah and it was written between 701 and 681 B.C. during the time period that Isaiah was called to prophesy to the southern Kingdom, the House of Judah which was going through times of rebellion against Elohims Torah. The Name Isaiah in Hebrew means Yah is salvation. Isaiah prophesied that Judah was going to be destroyed by Assyria and Egypt, but was spared only by Elohims mercy. Isaiah proclaimed a message of repentance from sin with a hopeful expectation of Elohims deliverance as he presented in undeniable detail how the messiah would come and suffer for our sin and iniquity as described in Isaiah chapter 53 and yet come also as the conquering and ruling King and Prince of Peace described in Isaiah 9:6.
Aleph/Tav את Used in ISAIAH: et אֶת 1 times, אֶת־ et- 134 times, אֵת eet 20 times, אֶת־ Et- 7 times, אֵת Eet 2 time, אָתְּ aat 0 times, אַתְּ at 1 time, אַתְּ־ at- 2 times, = Total 167
Vav/Aleph/Tav ואת Wa‘at וְאַתְּ 0 times, Wa‘eet וְאֵת 13 times, Wa‘et- וְאֶת־ 38 times = 51 Grand Total 218
Aleph/Tav ALERT: There are 66 Chapters in Isaiah and 218 Aleph Tav את Symbols with 17 Chapters that haven’t any Aleph Tav את Symbols. Isaiah provides us confirmation of the Aleph Tav את Symbols being associated with the Yah-head just as the Apostle John proclaimed in the Book of Revelation as the FIRST and the LAST, Isaiah also proclaims 3 times starting in Isaiah 41:4 Who has performed and finished it, calling the generations from the beginning? I יהוה, the FIRST ואת and the LAST; I am He…implying Father is the First (Aleph/strength) and Y’shua the Tav (last/covenant). 2) Isa 44:6 Thus saith יהוה the King of Israel, and His Redeemer יהוה of Hosts; I am the FIRST, and I am the LAST; and beside Me there is No Elohim. 3) Isa 48:12 Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the FIRST, I also am the LAST.
The first time we see the Aleph Tav את Symbol in Isaiah it proclaims to us the divinity of Y’shua as part of the Yah-head in Isaiah 1:4 They have forsaken את יהוה, they have provoked to anger את Holy One of Israel. Father proclaims protocol in Isa 5:5 I will tell את what I will do to My vineyard…24 so their root shall be as rottenness and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have cast away את Torah of יהוה of Hosts. Listen to this prophetic description Isaiah gives of the throne in Isa 6:1 I saw also את יהוה sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up and His train filled את the temple…5 for את the King, יהוה of Hosts, my eyes have seen…implying that Isaiah saw את Y’shua just as Moses saw Him…confirmation is in John 1:18 No man hath seen Elohim at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him…also John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save He which is of Elohim, He hath seen the Father…Isa 6:8 Also I heard את voice of יהוה, saying who will I send and who will go for us? Ahaz says in Isa 7:12 I will not ask, neither will I tempt את יהוה…13 Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that you will weary my את Elohim also? Isa 8:13 את יהוה of hosts, Him shall you sanctify; and let Him be your fear and let Him be your dread.
Powerful description of את Y’shua and יהוה Father, the Yah-head working together as ONE all throughout the Book of Isaiah. Isa 11:9 for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of את יהוה…and according to Isaiah יהוה Father through את Y’shua destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah in Isa 13:19 shall be as when overthrew Elohim את Sodom and Gomorrah. Who is the covering of Judah? Isa 22:8 states, And He discovered את covering of Judah. Isaiah confirms יהוה speaks through את in 24:3 for יהוה has spoken את this word.
Concerning the working of the miracle which caused the earth to stop and back up in Isa 38:5 Go and say to Hezekiah, so says יהוה the Elohim of David your father, I have heard את your prayer and I have seen את your tears: surely, I will add to your days fifteen years…7 And this shall be the sign to you from יהוה that will do יהוה את this thing that He has spoken: 8 Behold, I will cause את shadow on the steps…to return backward ten steps…implying יהוה Father through את heard Hezekiah’s prayer and saw his tears and the Yah-head worked this miracle together as ONE.
Why was King Hezekiah’s sin so great when he showed Merodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon all his treasures? The Aleph Tav את gives us insight in Isa 39:2 And Hezekiah was glad of them and showed them את House of his precious things, את silver ואת and the gold ואת and the spices ואת and the precious oil ואת and all the house of his armor ואת and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not. When Isaiah asked Hezekiah what he showed them he replied in 39:4 And answered Hezekiah את all that is in my house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them…Hezekiah had clearly offended the Yah-head.
Confirmation that the Yah-head is bound together by SPIRIT is in Isaiah 40:13 Who has directed את Spirit of יהוה or being His counselor has taught Him? 14 With את whom took He counsel and who instructed Him and taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge and showed to Him the way of understanding? Implying no one has counseled the Yah-head! Isa 41:22 Let them bring forth and declare to us את what shall happen…implying let them declare what את Y’shua is speaking and what Elohim will do. Strong evidence that את Y’shua is our maker in Isa 45:9 Woe to him that strives with את his Maker! Isa 51:10 Is it not את He which driest up the sea…implying את Y’shua is who dried up the sea and saved Israel!
A perfect picture of the Yah-head as both the Chastiser, Deliverer and Savior of Israel in Isa 51:17 Awake, Awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of יהוה את cup of His wrath; את dregs of cup of trembling you have drunk and drained it out…22 So says your Adonai יהוה and your Elohim that pleads the cause of His people, surely, I have taken out of your hand את cup of trembling, את dregs of the cup of My wrath; you shall no more drink it again…52:10 Has made bare יהוה את His Holy Arm, in the eyes of all the nations; and shall see all the ends of the earth את salvation (Yeshuwah) of our Elohim…Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to His own way; and יהוה has laid on את iniquity of us all…9 And made את the wicked His grave and with a rich man in His death; although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth…a prophetic picture of את Y’shua at Calvary!
Concerning יהוה Father’s word in Isa 55:11 so shall My word that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish את that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it…implying יהוה Father’s word is performed through את Y’shua…and concerning את Sabbaths in Isa 56:4 For so says יהוה of the eunuchs that keeps את My Sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast My covenant: 6 Also the foreigners that join themselves to יהוה, to minister to Him and to love את name of יהוה to be His servants…DAY OF יהוה in Isa 66:14 And you shall see it and your heart shall rejoice and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and shall be known the hand of יהוה את toward His servants; and He (Father) will have indignation toward את (Y’shua) His enemies…implying Ps 110:1 Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies Your footstool.
