Isaiah
The book of Isaiah at first appears to be the work of one individual, the eighth century prophet Isaiah, but is now considered by most scholars to be composite, written by either two or three authors over a period of around two hundred years.

  • Chapters 1-39 contain, with numerous additions, the work of Isaiah of Jerusalem, called I Isaiah, First Isaiah or Proto-Isaiah.
  • Chapters 40-55 record the words of an anonymous author during the Babylon Exile. This author is now called II Isaiah, Second Isaiah or Deutero-Isaiah.
  • Some scholars consider chapters 56-66, which are from the post-Exilic period, to be a continuation of the work of Deutero-Isaiah, while others attribute them to another anonymous author now called III Isaiah, Third Isaiah or Trito-Isaiah.

It is First Isaiah's preaching of doom, the proximity of punishment, and the remnant concept that is most likely to be interpreted as concerning the end of days. In these chapters, I Isaiah is concerned with Assyria as the dominant power.

Micah
The material in the book of Micah most likely to be interpreted as concerning the last days are chapter 1 to 4.

Chapter 1 was a lament for the military defeat of Israel, with verses 10-16 a dirge over the desolation of Judean cities. Chapters 2 and 3 contain scathing criticisms of prominent citizens as well as of prophets whose oracles vary according to payment. The emphasis is on the price of greed and corruption.

Note: Chapter 4 was not really written by the prophet Micah. In fact, verses 1-4 can be seen to be based on Isaiah 2:2-4. The remainder of the chapter is from the period of the Babylonian Exile, with Babylon actually mentioned in 4:10.

Does the bible speak of a curling iron?

Yes. In Isaiah 3:22 (KJV) it speaks of "crisping pins". Webster's 1828 dictionary defines this a a type of curling iron in biblical days. In all newer dictionaries as well as all new translations of the bible, define it as a purse. There are wrong.


Did Isaiah mention another prophet to come from Paran or the east after Jesus?

Isaiah did not mention Jesus or any other prophets. First Isaiah stated that he wrote about that which he saw "concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah." In other words, he was not prophesying nor foreseeing the future.

Are there manuscripts of Isaiah's prophecies?

-----------------------No. All we have is the Book of Isaiah, which was added to and altered during and after the Babylonian Exile. In Isaiah 1:1, Isaiah indicated that he would not be writing any prophecies about the future, saying (KJV): "The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days ofUzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah." In other words, Isaiah's writings in this book concern what he saw in his own lifetime. Any manuscripts he might have written, containing prophecies about events beyond his own lifetime, would have long since been lost.
