What image of God do you associate with the Book of Isaiah?

Answer 1

A:Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) say that Isaiah, even as late as the end of the eighth century, could still see Yahweh in human form. The latter sections of the book, actually written by "Second Isaiah" and "Third Isaiah" over a hundred years later, speak of a more transcendent God.

Answer:

The words in Isaiah itself, shows God as trying to reason with His sinful children to continue in His blessing and to avoid punishment:

Isaiah 1:18-20New King James Version (NKJV)

18 "Come now, and let us reason together,"

Says the Lord,

"Though your sins are like scarlet,

They shall be as white as snow;

Though they are red like crimson,

They shall be as wool.

19 If you are willing and obedient,

You shall eat the good of the land;

20 But if you refuse and rebel,

You shall be devoured by the sword";

For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
