-- Howard Culbertson,
The book of Isaiah, nestled within the Old Testament, stands as a monumental work of prophecy and poetry. Its authorship is traditionally attributed to the prophet Isaiah, who lived in the eighth century BCE in the kingdom of Judah.
Divided into 66 chapters, Isaiah encompasses a wide range of themes, from the consequences of sin and the call to repentance to the promise of redemption and restoration. Its vivid imagery and eloquent language captivate readers, while its prophetic messages echo through the ages, addressing both the immediate concerns of ancient Israel and the enduring hopes of humanity. Through visions of a future Messiah and glimpses of a new heaven and earth, Isaiah speaks to the divine promise of salvation and the enduring faithfulness of God.
