ISAIAH

Isaiah was a Major Prophet of Old Testament Israel 740-680 B.C.

The Book of Isaiah is a significant classic Book. It is like a miniature Bible. Like thirty-nine Books of The Old Testament Isaiah has 39 chapters filled with Judgement, so too the final 27 chapters declare a messianic message of hope, as does the 27 books of New Testament.

Isaiah means 'God is Salvation'

The Book was written over 700 years before Christ and gives a preview of Jesus Christ. Prophecies are in poetic form and presents Isaiah's attempt to convince the people to obey God. The first part of The Book of Isaiah imaged Israel and the last part of the book the prophet uplifted The Messiah. There is one chapter that prophesied of The Saviour who was to bear the people's sin. Isaiah as a book records and unveils both God's Judgements and His Salvation. The imagery is vivid and powerful.

Much of Isaiah's ministry took place at the Royal Court in Jerusalem.

The Book of Isaiah is the first Major Prophetic Book and is a Pre-exile book, the sixth poetry and wisdom book and does include Royal History among the accounts.
