Attestation Documents
This webpage holds the logical documents that demonstrate the existence of the Menorah-Tree Structure in Isaiah. This includes a presentation in the first link, followed by a three-page guide that points to documents that will help individuals self-diagnose what they might need to know as they explore the Scriptural background for these structures.. A very important concept is that the Scriptures themselves “attest” to the existence of these Structures.
This next link provides a presentation containing detailed but summary information in a linear form. The presentation covers the major premises supporting the existence of the Menorah-Tree Structures in Isaiah.
Demonstration of the Menorah-Tree Structures in Isaiah.
This presentation is intended for use in classroom settings, or Sunday School settings.
Caution should be exercised in the use of the above presentation materials in a worship or Sanctuary setting. I personally would not present this in a worship service until support from additional Biblical Scholars with domain expertise in Isaiah has been obtained. On the other hand, as an example, as individuals are reading any portion of Isaiah 28 -33, or as pastors are covering any portion of it, it is exceedingly helpful to understand that the overall unifying thematic context of Isaiah 28 - 33 is that the curses of the covenant are being poured out upon a tree. The tree is of course a metaphor. I definitely personally would go further and say it is a significant disservice to HIs Word not to make this known.
This next contains a self-diagnosis tool. This guide, or tool, provides equivalent but further information to the presentation above, for those who wish to work through the Scriptural background in detail.

This document lays out the major premises of the argument for the Menorah Structures, and provides a guide to more detailed papers providing information on the various steps..
These next documents below remain generally unavailable until they can be properly improved and edited. They have been available to selected scholars for more than several years, with the understanding that they are drafts.
