2以赛亚书是申言者书的头一卷。以赛亚的职事开始于公元前七六年，持续了六十多年。他服事了四代的君王。历史告诉我们，他殉道时受了非常残酷的对待，是被锯成两半的。（来十一37。）。他是全然忠信的。
2The book of Isaiah is the first of the books of the prophets. Isaiah’s ministry, which began in 760 B.C., lasted more than sixty years. He served four generations of kings. History tells us that he was martyred in a very cruel way by being sawn in two (Heb. 11:37). He was utterly faithful
3以赛亚的申言有一属灵的精意，就是：为著神圣定旨经过过程的基督，作神圣三一行动大轮的中心与普及，为著神圣的分赐，好将自己分赐到祂的选民里面。我们在以赛亚书中虽然找不到『大轮』一辞，但这卷书的确讲到神圣三一行动的大轮。每一卷申言者的书都揭示出神宇宙性行动的一部分。以西结用『大轮』一辞，描述神为著实现祂永远的经纶，在地上宇宙性的行动；（结一15；）以赛亚则领先申言到神这行动。
3Isaiah’s prophecy has a spiritual essence, and the essence is this: The Christ processed for the divine purposes being the centrality and the universality of the great wheel of the move of the Divine Trinity for the divine dispensing of Himself into His elect. Although the term great wheel cannot be found in Isaiah, this book does in fact speak of the great wheel of the move of the Divine Trinity. Each of the books of prophecy unveils a part of God’s universal move. Whereas Ezekiel uses the word wheel to describe God’s universal move on earth for the fulfillment of His eternal economy (Ezek. 1:15), Isaiah takes the lead to prophesy concerning God’s move
4以赛亚书里满了神永远经纶的各面。本书给我们看见，神如何为著实现祂永远的经纶，拣选了一班人，就是以色列，作祂所爱的选民。在以色列周围有外邦的列国。就某种意义说，以色列是神所拣选的，列国是祂所摆在一边的。不过，神在祂的行动里不能忽略列国。所以，以赛亚的申言与神所爱并拣选的子民以色列，以及列国，都很有关系。
4The book of Isaiah is full of the aspects of God’s eternal economy. This book shows us how God, for the fulfillment of His eternal economy, has chosen a people, Israel, to be His elect and His beloved. Around Israel are the Gentile nations. In a sense, Israel has been chosen by God, and the nations have been set aside by Him. Nevertheless, in His move God cannot neglect the nations. Therefore, both Israel, God’s chosen and beloved people, and the nations are very much involved in Isaiah’s prophecy
5我们要认识圣经任何一卷书并不容易。新约中最难进入并明白的是以弗所书；旧约中最难进入并明白的是以赛亚书。以赛亚这卷论到神经纶的书，有其外观、内容和深度。不仅如此，本书也说到神为著特定的目的而对付许多列国。因此，我们很难进入这卷书。
5It is not easy for us to know any book of the Bible. In the New Testament, the most difficult book to enter into and to understand is Ephesians. In the Old Testament, the most difficult book to enter into and to understand is Isaiah. As a book concerning God’s economy, Isaiah has its appearance, contents, and depths. Furthermore, this book involves God’s dealing with many nations for a definite purpose. Thus, it is hard for us to enter into this book.
6以赛亚书有六十六章，乃是圣经六十六卷书的代表。在论到以赛亚书的这些信息中，我们不会逐章逐节来看这卷书，因为这会把我们带的方式来看以赛亚书，不是为著知识或神学，乃是为著生命。
6The book of Isaiah, which has sixty- six chapters, is a representative of the Bible, which has sixty - six books. In these messages on the book of Isaiah, we will not cover this book chapter by chapter and We will cover Isaiah in the way of a life-study, not for knowledge or theology but for life.
7研读以赛亚书最好的路，乃是学习掌握这卷书中秘密和奥秘的点。这些秘密的点，许多都与基督有关。关于基督所是并祂所作成、正在作、以及将要作的，每一面都关系到一个秘密。其中一些秘密的点就在七章十四节和九章六节，还有的在五十三章。这卷书甚至有关于巴比伦的秘密。当我们进入以赛亚书中一切秘密和奥秘的点时，全书就向我们打开了。
7The best way to study Isaiah is to learn the secret and mysterious points of this book. Many of these secret points are related to Christ. Every aspect of what Christ is and of what He has done, is doing, and will do involves a secret. Some of these secrets are in Isaiah 7:14 and 9:6; others are in chapter fifty-three. In this book, there are secrets even concerning Babylon. When we get into all the secret and mysterious points in Isaiah, the whole book is open to us
8壹、论到神在基督里永远的经纶，以赛亚书就其内容而言，在众申言者的书中是领头的
8I. THE BOOK OF ISAIAH, IN ITS CONTENT CONCERNING GOD’S ETERNAL ECONOMY IN CHRIST , BEING THE LEADING BOOK AMONG ALL THE BOOKS OF THE PROPHETS
9论到神在基督里永远的经纶，以赛亚书就其内容而言，在众申言者的书中是领头的。本书是以赛亚所看见的异象，（赛一1，）是以赛亚所看见的话，（赛二1，）也是以赛亚所看见的负担。（赛十三1，十五1。）以赛亚书中的异象、话和负担，与神在基督里永远的经纶有关，本书透彻的说到这经纶。
9The book of Isaiah, in its content concerning God’s eternal economy in Christ, is the leading book among all the books of the prophets. This book is the vision which Isaiah saw (1:1), the word which Isaiah saw (2:1), and the burden which Isaiah saw (13:1; 15:1). The vision, word, and burden in Isaiah are concerned with God’s eternal economy in Christ, which is thoroughly covered in this book
贰 、主题
II. THE SUBJECT
10以赛亚书的主题，乃是耶和华藉著成为肉体、钉死十架、复活、升天、并再来之基督所施的救恩。这不仅是神的救恩，更是耶和华的救恩，就是父、子、灵的救恩。这是完全的救恩，完整的救恩。
10The subject of the book of Isaiah is the salvation of Jehovah through the incarnated, crucified, resurrected, ascended, and coming Christ. This is not merely God’ss alvation; it is the salvation of Jehovah, that is, the salvation of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. This is full salvation, entire salvation
参 、内容
III. THE CONTENT
11以赛亚书的内容乃是：神在爱里对祂所爱之以色列所施的对付，以及祂在列国身上所施公义的审判，带进基督，就是救主；（赛四三3，四九26；）这位救主基督是神（赛九6）成为肉体来作人，（赛七，）兼有神性和人性，（赛四2，）活在这地上，（赛五三2～3，四二1～4，）被钉十字架，（赛五三7～10上，12，）复活，（赛五三10下～，）升天（赛五二13，）再来，（赛四十10，六四1，）用神包罗万有的救恩，（赛十二2～3，）应付神选民和列国的需要，（赛九1～，四九6，）使万物的复兴（赛二～5，十一6～9，三五1～10，三十26）得以被带进，这复兴要终极完成于新天新地，直到永远。（赛六五17。）因此，以赛亚书的内容包括了神整个新约的经纶，从祂的成为肉体到新天新地，而以旧约神对付以色列和审判列国为背景。
11The content of Isaiah is this: God’s dealing in love with His beloved Israel and His righteous judgment upon the nations bring in Christ, the Savior (43:3; 49:26), who is God (9:6) incarnated to be a man (7:1 4), possessing both the divine and human natures (4:2), living on this earth 14 (5 3:2-3; 4 2:1-4), crucified (5 3:7-1 0 a, 1 2), resurrected (53:10b-11), ascended (52:13), and coming (40:10; 64:1) to meet the need of God’s chosen people and the nations 11 (9:1-7; 49:6) in God’sa ll-inclusive salvation (12:2-3), that the restoration of all things (2:2-5; 1 1:6-9; 3 5:1-1 0; 3 0:2 6) may be brought in, which will consummate in the 7 new heaven and new earth for eternity2 (65:17). Hence, the content of Isaiah covers God’sent ire economy of the New Testament, from the incarnation to the new heaven and new earth, with the Old Testament background of God’s dealing with Israel and His judgment upon the nations.
肆 、中心思想
IV . THE CENTRAL THOUGHT
12以赛亚书的中心思想乃是：基督是神在人性里成为肉体，来作人的救主，使神所造而堕落的全宇宙，得以复兴并终极完成为新天新地，直到永远。本书像新约一样，讲到神照著祂的经纶所命定，从开头到末了一切的事。开头是成为肉体，末了是新天新地。新约开始于基督的成为肉体和出生，而结束于新天新地。因著以赛亚说到同样的事，所以我们再次看见，以赛亚书代表了整本圣经，特别是新约。
12The central thought of Isaiah is: Christ is God incarnated in humanity to be the Savior of man, that all the God-created universe, which is fallen, might be restored and consummate in the new heaven and new earth for eternity. This book, like the New Testament, covers from beginning to end all the things God has ordained according to His economy. The beginning is the incarnation, and the end is the new heaven and new earth. The New Testament begins with Christ’sin carnation and birth and ends with the new heaven and new earth. Since Isaiah covers the same matters, we see once again that the book of Isaiah is the representative of the entire Bible, especially of the New Testament
伍 、分段
V . THE SECTIONS
13以赛亚书可分为五段。
13The book of Isaiah has five sections
一 、耶和华对祂所爱的子民及列国的救恩
A. The Salvation of Jehovah to His Beloved People and to the Nations
14第一段包括头十二章，是说到耶和华对祂所爱的子民及列国的救恩。
14The first section, covering the first twelve chapters, is the salvation of Jehovah to His beloved people and to the nations
15二、耶和华对列国的审判
15B. The Judgment of Jehovah upon the Nations
16第二段从十三章至二十三章，是论到耶和华对列国的审判，揭示撒但与列国的合一，显示耶和华对列国主宰的管治，裨益耶和华所爱的以色列，并供备奇妙的基督作救主，以应付蒙爱之以色列和受审判之列国的需要。这一段启示，神在祂经纶里的行动，首先乃是要裨益以色列，然后带进奇妙的基督，以应付每一种光景的需要。基督完成神的经纶，就满足神的需要；而祂在祂的救恩里，又应付人的需要。我们读以赛亚书时，该记住这些点。
16The second section covers chapters thirteen through twenty-three. This section is concerned with the judgment of Jehovah upon the nations unveiling Satan’s oneness with the nations, showing Jehovah’ss ove reign rule over the nations, benefiting Jehovah’s beloved Israel, and providing the wonderful Christ as the Savior to meet the need of the beloved Israel and the judged nations. This section reveals that the action of God in His economy first will benefit Israel and then will bring in the wonderful Christ to meet the need of every situation. By accomplishing God’secon o my, Christ will meet God’s need, and in His salvation He will meet man’s need. We should keep these points in mind as we read Isaiah.
三 、耶和华对祂所爱之以色列所施对付的结果
C. The Issue of Jehovah’s Dealing with His Beloved Israel
17第三段二十四至三十五章，是启示耶和华对祂所爱之以色列所施的对付，结果使以色列复兴并归回神，且引进基督和万物的复兴。
17Chapters twenty-four through thirty-five reveal that Jehovah’s dealing with His beloved Israel issues in Israel’s revival and return to God and ushers in Christ with the restoration of all things
18四、寻求并倚靠耶和华的实例
18D. An Example of Seeking after Jehovah and
Trusting in Him
19第四段三十六至三十九章，是说到寻求并倚靠耶和华的实例（希西家王）。
19In the fourth section (chs. 36—39) we have an example ( King Hezekiah) of seeking after Jehovah and trusting in Him
五 、耶和华的仆人以及祂给以色列和列国所带进的救恩
E. The Servant of Jehovah and the Salvation Brought In by Him
