Biblical Prophet

Isaiah, an 8th century BCE Hebrew Prophet who lived in the kingdom of Judah. Isaiah is considered one of the greatest and most influential of the biblical prophets, with his writings making up the Book of Isaiah in the Hebrew Bible.

Isaiah was active as a prophet during the reigns of four Judean kings, including King Uzziah and Hezekiah. He prophesied about the coming judgment and exile of the people of Judah, as well as providing messages of hope and consolation about future restoration. Many of his prophecies have messianic themes that Christians later interpreted as pointing to Jesus Christ.

Isaiah's book contains some of the most well-known phrases and prophecies from the Bible, such as "they will beat their swords into plowshares" and prophesying about a messianic figure such as Jesus Christ, referring to him as "Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah provides a unique perspective from an 8th century BCE prophet, making him an intriguing guest with timeless messages relevant for any age.
