Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence

What each work's passages reveal about its stance on each of the six dimensions.

Time

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

Linear and eschatological: history moves from judgement toward the messianic age. "In the latter days the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established" (2:2).

Space

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

Finite, substantival, theologically charged: God's glory fills "the whole earth" (6:3).

Matter

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

Created, finite, non-conserved — subject to divine destruction and renewal.

Observer

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

The prophet sees what is hidden (the throne-room vision); knowledge is mediated by revelation; God is personal and sovereign.

Energy

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

Divine power is infinite — the seraphim, the burning coal, the trembling threshold.

Information

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever" (40:8, Deutero-Isaiah, but continuous with First Isaiah's theology).

Internal Tensions

Where each work's argument pulls against itself.

Book of Isaiah (chapters 1-39)

Divine sovereignty vs. human freedom (6:9-10 vs. the call to repentance); universal peace (2:4) vs. oracles of military destruction (10:5-6).
