The book of Isaiah was written between 701 and 683 BC. The Ethiopian eunuch read the passage around 35-38 AD. So it would have been 720-740 years.

Which Prophet whose message was primarily about the exile lived 150 years before that exile?

The Book of Isaiah is primarily about the Babylonian Exile, although the prophet Isaiah lived 150 years before the Exile. Scholars long ago solved this puzzle. They say that only chapters 1 to 39 were really written by Isaiah of Jerusalem, with numerous later additions. Because of other authors, Isaiah is often called First Isaiah or Proto-Isaiah. Chapters 40 to 55 record the words of a sixth century prophet living in exile in Babylon, called Deutero-Isaiah or Second Isaiah. Finally, chapters 56 to 66, from the post-Exilic period, are either a continuation of the work of Deutero-Isaiah or written by one of his disciples, now known as Trito-Isaiah or Third (III) Isaiah. Scholars say that there are striking stylistic variations and differences in vocabulary between I Isaiah and II Isaiah. First Isaiah's vocabulary is limited and his utterances are designed for delivery to specific audiences. Second Isaiah's work is more uniform and lyrical in style, more hymnic in quality, and more extensive in vocabulary. His chapters form a unity of thought and emphasis centred in the restoration from Babylonian captivity.

Are writings in the Book of Isaiah chapter 40-18 and 40-28 agnosticism?

Isaiah chapters 40-55 record the words of a sixth century prophet living in exile in Babylon, called Second (II) Isaiah, or Deutero-Isaiah. The Babylonian Exile was a peiod of intense scrutiny of Judaism's religious beliefs. In this opening chapter of his original work, since merged into the book by Isaiah son of Amoz, Second Isaiah muses about the nature of God. This is not agnosticism, but merely an introduction to what the author will say.

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.


Where in the Bible does it tell you that Isaiah has 66 chapters?

The Bible itself does not mention chapters, because the books that form the Bible were originally written without chapters. They were divided into present-day chapters by Stephen Langton about 1200 CE, and of course the number of chapters in Isaiah was based on his own judgement. The book of Isaiah 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.
