Some 2,740 years ago, there was a child born in Judah that would grow up to be a prophet of God. He would be educated and raised in Jerusalem, where he would serve several powerful Hebrew kings, before his untimely death.
As a prophet he was prolific and influential, not only during his time, but his prophecies have been revered in both Jewish and Christian cultures for centuries. The prophecies God revealed to him have been the most copied out of the Old Testament and when it comes to the New Testament, his book has been referenced more than any other, with a total of around 411 times.
His life-long mission was to profess the glory of God and point a sinful people to the kingdom of God and His coming judgment. While at the same time sharing the message of redemption that the Lord offered to the world and still does today.
This prophet’s Hebrew name translates “Yahweh is salvation”, but you and I know him as “Isaiah.”
