Guiding Questions: Isaiah 64

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. In whose presence will the nations be agitated (Isaiah 64:1)?
  2. In Isaiah 64:6, a theological principle is set down – the “hastarat panim” (the concealing of the Presence). How has this surfaced in recent theological literature and to what event is it usually applied?
  3. In Isaiah 64:7 does the reference to “father” have a biological or poetical refrain?
  4. Would Isaiah 64:8-10 indicate restoration or the hope for restoration of Jerusalem and of the Temple?
