97:7.1 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Judah#Destruction_of_Israel destruction of the Hebrew nation] and their [[captivity]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] would have [[proved]] of great benefit to their expanding [[theology]] had it not been for the determined [[action]] of their [[priesthood]]. Their [[nation]] had fallen before the armies of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_Empire Babylon], and their [[nationalistic]] [[Yahweh]] had suffered from the [[international]] preachments of the [[spiritual]] [[leaders]]. It was resentment of the loss of their [[national]] god that led the [[Jewish]] [[priests]] to go to such lengths in the [[invention]] of fables and the multiplication of [[miraculous]] appearing [[events]] in [[Hebrew]] [[history]] in an [[effort]] to restore the [[Jews]] as the [[chosen people]] of even the new and expanded [[idea]] of an [[internationalized]] [[God]] of all nations.

97:7.2 During [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity the captivity] the [[Jews]] were much [[influenced]] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonia Babylonian traditions] and legends, although it should be noted that they unfailingly improved the [[moral]] [[tone]] and [[spiritual]] significance of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea Chaldean] stories which they adopted, notwithstanding that they invariably distorted these [[legends]] to [[reflect]] [[honor]] and [[glory]] upon the [[ancestry]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_israel history of Israel].

97:7.3 These [[Hebrew]] [[priests]] and scribes had a single [[idea]] in their [[minds]], and that was the [[rehabilitation]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaea_%28Roman_province%29 Jewish nation], the [[glorification]] of [[Hebrew]] [[traditions]], and the exaltation of their [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Jews racial history]. If there is resentment of the [[fact]] that these [[priests]] have fastened their erroneous [[ideas]] upon such a large part of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occidental world], it should be remembered that they did not [[intentionally]] do this; they did not claim to be [[writing]] by [[inspiration]]; they made no [[profession]] to be writing a [[sacred]] [[book]]. They were merely [[preparing]] a [[textbook]] designed to bolster up the dwindling [[courage]] of their fellows in [[captivity]]. They were definitely aiming at improving the [[national]] [[spirit]] and morale of their compatriots. It remained for later-day men to assemble these and other [[writings]] into a guide [[book]] of supposedly [[infallible]] teachings.

97:7.4 The [[Jewish]] [[priesthood]] made [[liberal]] use of these [[writings]] subsequent to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity the captivity], but they were greatly hindered in their [[influence]] over their fellow captives by the [[presence]] of a young and indomitable [[prophet]], [http://girardianlectionary.net/res/bvs_2nd-isaiah.htm Isaiah the second], who was a full [[convert]] to the [[elder]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Isaiah]'s [[God]] of [[justice]], [[love]], [[righteousness]], and [[mercy]]. He also believed with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah Jeremiah] that [[Yahweh]] had become the [[God]] of [[Internationalism|all nations]]. He preached these [[theories]] of the [[nature]] of [[God]] with such telling [[effect]] that he made converts equally among the [[Jews]] and their captors. And this young preacher left on [[record]] his teachings, which the hostile and unforgiving [[priests]] sought to [[divorce]] from all [[association]] with him, although sheer [[respect]] for their [[beauty]] and grandeur led to their incorporation among the [[writings]] of the earlier [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah Isaiah]. And thus may be found the writings of this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah second Isaiah] in the [[book]] of that name, embracing chapters [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Isaiah#Isaiah_40-55_.28Deutero-Isaiah.29 forty to fifty-five inclusive].

97:7.5 No [[prophet]] or religious teacher from [[Machiventa]] to the time of [[Jesus]] [[attained]] the high [[concept]] of [[God]] that [http://girardianlectionary.net/res/bvs_2nd-isaiah.htm Isaiah the second] proclaimed during these days of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity the captivity].

97:7.6 At last [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] beheld [[human]] [[teachers]] [[proclaiming]] a real [[God]] to [[mortal]] man. Like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah Isaiah] the first, this [[leader]] preached a [[God]] of [[universal]] [[creation]] and upholding. "I have made the [[earth]] and put man upon it. I have created it not in vain; I formed it to be inhabited."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.45] " I am the first and the last; there is no God beside me."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.45] Speaking for the Lord God of Israel, this new [[prophet]] said: " The [[heavens]] may vanish and the [[earth]] wax old, but my [[righteousness]] shall [[endure]] forever and my [[salvation]] from [[generation]] to generation."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.45] " [[Fear]] you not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your [[God]]."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.41] " There is no [[God]] beside me—a just God and a Savior."[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.45]

97:7.7 And it [[comforted]] the [[Jewish]] captives, as it has thousands upon thousands ever since, to hear such [[words]] as: " Thus says the Lord, `I have [[created]] you, I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine.'

97:7.9 [http://girardianlectionary.net/res/bvs_2nd-isaiah.htm This Isaiah] conducted a far-flung [[propaganda]] of the [[gospel]] of the enlarging [[concept]] of a [[supreme]] [[Yahweh]].
