Book of Isaiah

Isaiah reveals the Bible's book order with commentary for each book.

Intro to Isaiah

Learning how Isaiah encodes the book order has been a journey of discovery. At the beginning the subject of book order was not even in mind. The thought was simply that Isaiah's chapters might relate to the books of the Bible. On a second look it was clear that Isaiah patterns the books, but in a new order.

Isaiah 1 = Genesis 2:4-4:17

Isaiah 2 = Exodus 19:2-33:23

Isaiah 3:1-11 = Leviticus 8:1-10:15

Isaiah 3:12-4:6 = Numbers 13:1-14:38

Isaiah 5 = Deuteronomy 32:1-43

Isaiah 6 = Joshua 5:13-8:29

Isaiah 7 = Judges 13:1-18:31

Isaiah 8 = First Samuel 28:3-25

Isaiah 9:1-7 = Second Samuel 5:11-7:16

Isaiah 9:8-10:5 = First Kings 6:7-12:33

39 Daniel

The story of Daniel is fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah chapter 39. Thus Daniel sits in slot 39 of the book order as the last book of the Old Testament. That Daniel is the end of the Old Testament is curious considering it's regularly studied in tandem with Revelation, the last book of the New Testament.
