Book Introduction
Isaiah is the grandest of the prophetic books, a vision spanning judgment and comfort, empires and eternity. Called in the year King Uzziah died by a vision of the thrice-holy God, Isaiah confronts Judah's corruption and warns of Assyria and Babylon, yet keeps breaking into promises: a virgin's child called Immanuel, a son given whose government brings endless peace. The second half turns to consolation, comfort my people, and unveils the Servant of the Lord, wounded for our transgressions. It closes with new heavens and a new earth. No prophet is quoted more in the New Testament.
