Isaiah’s book and those of Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel which follow speak beforehand of the Lord Jesus Christ and, like the four gospels, depict him in four aspects: as king, servant, son of man, and Son of God. Isaiah depicts him as king, and his prophecies contain marvellous visions of the future when the kingdom of God is re-established in Israel and her King, Jesus, reigns in righteousness with his saints. He wrote beforehand of both the suffering and the glory of Christ, and these prophecies provide remarkable evidence that this is the word of the living God.
Isaiah saw visions of the glorious future still to come when Jesus will sit upon the throne of the LORD in Jerusalem. Marvellous passages of scripture tell us of the work of Jesus, both as a Saviour enduring suffering and as a great and glorious King.
Isaiah was a prophet of the LORD in Judah in the years leading up to and during the time when the northern ten tribes of Israel were carried away captive by the Assyrians. This occurred when Hezekiah was king of the two tribe kingdom of Judah. Isaiah 1:1Waiting for response for Isaiah 1:1 Inspired by God, Isaiah warned, exhorted and encouraged the people to turn to righteousness and thus receive blessings from the LORD instead of cursing.
