“The Lord God Hath Given Me the Tongue of the Learned”

Bryan Richards

From verse 4 to the end of the chapter, the scripture speaks of one who was given ’the tongue of the learned.’ Like many Isaiah prophecies, this has a dual fulfillment. In this instance, it refers to both Isaiah and Jesus Christ. In the case of the latter, the fulfillment of this prophecy is found in John, for ’the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?’ (John 7:15) Yet, Jesus and Isaiah went to a private school—one which far outclassed the rabbinical tradition of the Pharisees. Their teacher was God; their subject was the truth; their learned tongue was literally a gift of God by the spirit of prophecy and revelation.
