-- Howard Culbertson,
The book of Isaiah, nestled in the middle of the Old Testament, is a monumental work of prophecy and poetry. It is traditionally attributed to the prophet Isaiah, who lived in the eighth century BCE in the kingdom of Judah.
Divided into 66 chapters (which happens to be the same number of books in the Bible), Isaiah wrote on a variety of themes and issues. These range from the consequences of sin and the call to repentance to the promise of redemption and restoration. The book's imagery and eloquent language captivate readers. Its prophetic messages has echoed through the ages, addressing the enduring hopes of humanity. Through visions of a future Messiah and glimpses of a new heaven and earth, Isaiah speaks to us today about God's enduring faithfulness and His promise of salvation.
