Again, undoubtedly the prophet must speak out of his own environment. He can speak only where he is. But who is to decide how many and what allusions he must make to custom or incident in order to satisfy the critic, as to his time and place in history? The tailor who decides that he must have twenty yards of cloth to make a suit of clothes, when ten yards are sufficient, will shortly be wanting customers. The critic who has decided how many and what kind of synchronous events must be furnished by the prophet, in order to secure his credence as to authorship, will be left without a prophet or a Bible. The erection of an arbitrary law, by which to interpret history or prophecy in the Bible, is contrary to all the treatment which secular literature receives from these same critics. From these strained, forced and unphilosophical methods of dealing with prophecy, we turn to the testimony of the inspired book itself. The book of Isaiah is distinguished by a phraseology peculiar to this prophet. He speaks of God as "The Holy One of Israel." This title, as applied to God, is used only seven times in the entire Old Testament; once in 2 Kings, three times in the Psalms, twice in the prophecies of Jeremiah, and once in Ezekiel, but never in the minor prophets. But Isaiah uses this title as applied to God, twenty-two times, running through the entire book from the first to the sixtieth chapter. The reader will be interested to note how the repeated use of the phrase--"The Holy One of Israel"--attests the unity of the authorship of the entire book. Hence the passages ("line upon line, line upon line") are here presented to give their unequivocal testimony to our Sabbath School teachers. 1: Isaiah I:4--"They have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked _the Holy One of Israel to anger_." 2: Isaiah v:18, 19--"Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: that say ... let the counsel of _the Holy One of Israel_ draw nigh and come, that we may know it." 3: Isaiah v:24--"Because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of _the Holy One of Israel_." 4: Isaiah xii:6--"Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion; for great is _the Holy One of Israel_ in the midst of thee." 5: Isaiah xvii:7--"At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to _the Holy One of Israel_." 6: Isaiah xxix:19--"The poor among man shall rejoice in _the Holy One of Israel_." 7: Isaiah xxx:11--"Cause _the Holy One of Israel_ to cease from before us." (The language of a rebellious people.) 8: Isaiah xxx:12--"Wherefore, thus saith _the Holy One of Israel_, because ye despise this word ... therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall." 9: Isaiah xxx:15--"Thus saith the Lord God, _the Holy One of Israel_; In returning and rest shall ye be saved." 10: Isaiah xxxi:1--"They look not unto _the Holy One of Israel_, neither seek the Lord."
