Biography
One of the greatest Old Testament prophets, Isaiah ministered in Judah during the reigns of four kings. His prophecies addressed both immediate political crises and the distant messianic future. Isaiah's vision of God's holiness in the temple transformed his life and ministry. He prophesied extensively about the coming Messiah, the suffering servant, and the restoration of Israel. His book contains some of Scripture's most beautiful passages about salvation and God's glory.
Significance
Isaiah is the 'evangelical prophet' whose detailed messianic prophecies (virgin birth, suffering servant, government on His shoulders) are quoted more in the New Testament than any other prophet. He presents the most comprehensive Old Testament picture of Christ's first and second comings.
