Isaiah Flashcards

Publication: Avraham Gileadi, Isaiah Flashcards (Hebraeus Press, 2018). An easy memorization game for learning Isaiah’s definitions of the Characters, Concepts, and Doctrines of the Book of Isaiah. Three sets of 50 cards each for a total of 150 cards. $24.94, ISBN 0-910511-45-2. Kindle Version, $6.95, ISBN 0-910511-85-3.

Instructions: Each 50-pack of Isaiah Flashcards is designed for quick memorization of (1) the Characters who appear in Isaiah’s endtime prophecy under different names or personas; (2) the prophetic Concepts Isaiah teaches that are found throughout his writings; and (3) the spiritual Doctrines that appear from analyzing Isaiah’s definitions of his inspired words and revelations (see reverse side).

Suggestions for Use: (1) As a family learning activity or for your personal study, memorize the Characters explanations ten at a time until you have memorized all fifty. (2) Search the scriptural references provided in the Isaiah Flashcards and observe how each character appears in its scriptural context. (3) Do a comparison of the scriptural references provided and try to get a general picture of how Isaiah develops their identities. (4) Continue memorizing the Concepts and Doctrines explanations as with the Characters and test yourself or your family from time to time.

From Avraham Gileadi: The idea of using flashcards as a memorization device for learning about the characters who appear in Isaiah’s endtime scenario under different personas and codenames came to a dear friend. At first uncertain, then seeing how effectively the idea worked, I completed fifty cards for the character definitions before continuing with the same for Isaiah’s key concepts and doctrines. Quick memorization made possible by these cards seemed even more effective than gradually growing acquainted with them from books. Initially isolating these characters, concepts, and doctrines, in other words, proved extremely helpful when afterwards reading about them in their proper contexts in the writings of Isaiah.
