제2이사야서에 나타난 하나님과 거룩

God and Holiness in Second Isaiah

제2이사야서는 유일신 하나님의 세 가지 역할(구속자; 창조자; 역사의 주)을 강조하는데, 특별히 이 역할은 ‘거룩’이라는 개념과 함께 나타난다. 첫째로 구속과 거룩이 함께 나타나는 본문(사 41:8-16; 43:1-7; 54:1-10)은 하나님의 성품과 이스라엘의 귀환을 강조하는데, 구속자는 옛 언약에 신실하여 절망 가운데 있는 포로들에게 귀환과 회복을 약속하는 분으로 묘사되며, 거룩은 구속과 연결되어 하나님의 탁월한 성품을 보강한다. 둘째로 창조와 거룩이 함께 나타나는 본문(사40:12-31; 41:17-20; 43:14-21)은 하나님의 능력을 강조하는데, 창조자는 회복과 귀환을 실행하기에 탁월한 능력을 지닌 분으로 묘사되며, 거룩은 하나님의 초월적인 능력을 보강한다. 셋째로 역사의 주와 거룩이 함께 나타나는 본문(사 45:9-13; 52:7-10; 55:1-5)은 열방과 관련되는데, 역사의 주는 고레스를 통한 이스라엘의 구원과 이스라엘의 역할을 통한 열방의 구원을 주도하는 분으로 묘사되며, 거룩은 하나님께서 우상이나 피조물에 비해 탁월하며 초월적인 분임을 보강한다. 따라서 하나님의 세 가지 역할과 거룩의 개념은 귀환과 회복을 원하는 자들에게 강력하게 위로와 희망의 메시지를 전하는 기능을 한다.

This paper investigates the roles of God and the functions of holiness in Second Isaiah. For this, I chose the texts mentioning both the roles of God and the conception of holiness and analysed them. In particular, Second Isaiah emphasizes that God is one God and he plays three roles as redeemer, creator, and the Lord of history. The texts (Isaiah 41:8-16; 43:1-7; 54:1-10) including conceptions of both redemption and holiness have both “fear not” and “Holy One of Israel.” The texts focus on God’s personality and Israel’s repatriation which are gradually extended in three texts (preparation of the repatriation→process of the repatriation→place for the returnee). Here the redeemer is described as God who gives the captive the promises about both restoration and repatriation and the conception of holiness plays in supporting excellence of the nature of God. The texts (Isaiah 40:12-31; 41:17-20; 43:14-21) including conceptions of both creation and holiness have a Hebrew verb, bārā . The texts explain God’s abilities by using the conceptions of both creation and holiness, here the creator is described as God who has sufficient capability to carry out both the restoration and the repatriation of Israel because he has more excellent abilities than idols and creatures. Here the conception of holiness plays in supporting God’s excellent abilities. The texts (Isaiah 45:9-13; 52:7-10; 55:1-5) including conceptions of both the Lord of history and holiness are related to all nations, and they emphasize God’s authority. Here, the Lord of history is described as God leading the salvation of Israel by the role of Cyrus king of Persia and the salvation of all nations by the roles of Israel community. Here, the conception of holiness plays in supporting that God is more excellent deity than idols and creatures. In sum, Second Isaiah declares messages of consolation and hope to the returnee who long for repatriation and restoration by using God’s three roles an
