I warned them of coming Judgment, but always promised them great re wards If they turned from sin to God. I faithfully reflected God’s attitude toward sin and His mercy for His people. WHO WAS I? FOURTH CLUE My call to the prophetic office re flects the experiences every soul must have before he can be a useful servant for his Lord: 1— A vision of God 2— Conviction and confession of sin 3— Forgiveness and cleansing 4— God’s call for workers 5— Offering one’s self for service 6 — Something to do for Him The structure of my book is re markably similar to the structure of the Bible: 1— The Bible contains sixty-si books; my book includes sixty-six chapters. 2— The Bible has two great divi sions; my book is divided into two parts. 3— The Old Testament has thirty nine books, the New, twenty-seven; the first division of my book has thirty-nine chapters, the second twenty-seven. 4— The theme of the Old Testa ment is law, the New, grace; the theme of the first division of my book is judgment, the second, com fort. 5— In the Old Testament, Christ i foreseen, in the New, He is revealed; I began my book pointing forward to Christ; before I closed it, I de scribed His entire life and mission completely.

My wife was a prophetess, and I had two sons: Maher-ahalal-hash- baz, which means, “He hasteneth to the prey,“ and Shear-jashub, mean ing, “A remnant shall return." The two names illustrate my two-fold message to Judah. WHO WAS IT SECOND CLUE I was the greatest of all the writ- ihg prophets, being faithful to the Lord in service for more than sixty years, beginning about 760 B.C. I was “the evangelical prophet,“ my message clearly describing: 1— Christ’s Virgin Birth 2— His many names, human and divine 3— His two-fold nature 4— His forerunner 5— The purpose ’of His sacrifice 6 — His exaltation after His humil iation My call came the year of King Uzziah’s death. His son, Jotham, was a good king, but when Jotham died, and Ahaz came to the throne, the people forgot God. Because of this, I became bold, fearless and sincere in showing the nation how wicked they and their king were in the sight of God. The period during which I prophe sied embraced the last fifty years of the Northern Kingdom, although my message was to the Southern King dom.
