Watching, 

|the word| #Soothsayer (as I've already done "Prophet") seems important; so I found out a little more about it and share my findings with you below (and I link to the topic that brought the word up, and might discuss it beneath (and/or you might start a discussion in the comments)).
The word |Soothsayer| (a.k.a. |Fortune-Teller or Adviser & |Candid Truth-Speaker) is built of the words #Sooth & Say, with |Sooth| built on proto-word *santhaz (probably meaning "Truth" ... and related to #Soothe, because of the Relief one feels when one learns that one's hopes are True).
on which also-built (Yoda-ese? a little) #Soothsay #Soothsaid
 #Soothsaying #Forsooth #Soothfast
To Keep Up on My 'Research,'
Taking notes ...

This section (also in the Old Testament, which Jews call the #Tanakh) is called The Nevi'im by The Jews. (Matt's a Jew, so we're focusing on the OT as 'the Tanakh' whose name comes from the initials of its three sections' titles (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim---T, N, K)).

Nevi'im is Eight Books: Joshua, Judges, Samuel (which Christianity divided into First- & Second-), Kings (likewise divided), Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, & The Twelve.


The first four books (The Former Prophets) were also written by Deuteronomists (under King Josiah). In Deut. 12-26 we see The Deuteronomists' Code, which is like the Priests' Holiness Code (found in Lev. 17-26 ... sometimes called a separate source---H) or The Covenant Code (part of E, found in Exod. 20-23).

I'm not sure of the point of these notes, so I'm leaving out a lot of the stuff that might be important ... you can see what-all I'm missing in the video

Only the first part Isaiah was written by the prophet Isaiah, the second part probably being written by 'his disciples' (much the way I or Kenneth Copeland or Robin Meyers could write 'some great wisdom' and attribute it to Jesus (or more-likely Billy Graham or Orel Roberts or another of God's well-known prophets)).

Mark--a Jew--addresses 'how Jews reconcile the passages of Isaiah which Christians "know" refer to Jesus (in whom Jews believe differently).' Mark explains that--though 'Isaiah talking about Jesus' may be crucial to Christians' beliefs--it's not the only way to interpret Isaiah's passages.

For example, 'the virgin conceiving a son' might actually be 'a young maiden bearing a son to the king whom Isaiah was addressing (a son who went on to save Judah from the Assyrians); the servant 'pierced for our transgressions & crushed for our iniquities, & by his wounds we are healed' might actually be "The People of Israel" (as that section of Isaiah is known as "The Servant's Song.")

Jeremiah was probably also a Deuteronomist. Ezekiel probably wasn't written by Ezekiel himself, but by his disciples, who were all Priest-ists. The Twelve (by 12 prophets to whom Christianity gives each a separate book, though they ARE "The Minor Prophets") are the writings of Hosea, Amos (quoted by Martin Luther King Jr.), Micah & Zephaniah (in the style of Isaiah), Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah (another D), Zechariah, Haggai, Jonah, Joel, Malachi (Jews' "final prophet," which is probably a pseudonym---as Malachi actually means 'Messenger' ... isn't that what "Messiah" actually means too?)
