the notification Bell if you like the video leave a like it really helps me produce more videos without further Ado let's get into the video Isaiah's Vision the first recorded event in his life is his prophetic calling as found in the sixth chapter of the book bearing his name this happened around 742 BC and the vision probably occurred in the temple in Jerusalem making him a prophet described in a firstperson narrative according to this account he saw God and various seraphim above his throne impressed by the contact with Divine glory and Holiness he became distressed
and aware of God's need to send a messenger to the people of Israel despite his own sense of unworthiness he offered himself for God's service saying here I am send me thus he was appointed to give voice to Divine words it wasn't an easy undertaking he had to condemn his own people and witness the nation crumble he knew he would face bitter opposition and deliberate disbelief all of this he had to endure strengthened internally by the vision and a sudden resolution throughout his life Isaiah was prepared to find meaning in the vision before the decisive
moment arrived information about this period of his life is inconclusive primarily consisting of inferences drawn from the biblical text sometimes the prophet's personal life appears in the record as an aspect of his public message once when confronting a king he took with him to reinforce his prophetic word a son with the symbolic name Shir jashub meaning a Remnant will return again to memorialize a message he fathered another son a prophetess with his wife sealing the child with his message and the name Mahar shalal hashas meaning speed spoil hasten prey referring to the imminent spoilage by
the Assyrians if his children weren't sought as living witnesses to the prophet's premonitions posterity wouldn't know about his wife or these children all that is known is that his father's name was amamos despite being contemporaries amos's name in Hebrew was different from the prophet amos's name often it is suggested that Isaiah was an aristocrat possibly even of Royal lineage however the same reasoning could apply to any number of prophets since Nathan in David's time prophets had relations with Kings because like Isaiah they were well informed about public affairs a crucial responsibility in being God's voice
among the people additionally Isaiah was emphatically with the poor and victimized not with courtiers and the rich it is sometimes argued that he was from a Priestly family due to his knowledge of cultural matters and the fact that his commission apparently occurred in the temple in Jerusalem Isaiah's early life included experiences with poverty debauchery among the rich and a familiarity with the unprotected the widows orphans homeless and landless victims of the rich Isaiah prophesied about Jesus in almost a third of the chapters in The Book of Isaiah addressing both his first and second comings Isaiah
provides more prophecies about the second coming of Christ than any other prophet in the Old Testament here are some prophecies about Jesus in both his first and second coming he will judge among the Nations Isaiah 2:4 he will be a branch of the Lord is Isaiah 4:2 he will be born of a virgin and called Emanuel Isaiah 7:14 Isaiah 88 to10 he will be a stumbling stone and a rock of offense Isaiah 8:14 Eternal government will be upon his shoulder and he will be called The Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:6-7 the holy spirit will rest
upon Him Isaiah 112 he will be a tested Stone a precious Cornerstone a sure Foundation Isaiah 28:16 Jesus Christ is directly mentioned in more than half of the chapters from Isaiah 40 to Isaiah 61 undoubtedly the most crucial chapter regarding Humanity's salvation is Isaiah 53 this prophecy explains how he was wounded during his sacrifice for Humanity's sins In this passage a description of his first coming starts in Isaiah 52:14 and Isaiah 532 5 explains that his Earthly physical appearance wouldn't stand out he was disp and rejected and by his wounds we are healed from our
infirmities this Central chapter tells us that he would come to give his life as a sacrifice for our sins symbolized by the Pascal lamb the statements about his death are then repeated because he was cut off from the land of the living buried with the wicked and made an offering for sin pouring out his soul to death throughout the Book of Isaiah God revealed that Jesus would come to Earth first as a human to deal with sin and then again in his glorified state after rising from the grave to establish the kingdom of God many
people rejected him during his first coming because they didn't understand the Dual nature of Christ's coming he didn't fulfill the Prophecies of ruling the Earth and establishing an eternal Kingdom during his first coming which will occur during his second coming interestingly God also revealed through Isaiah how Christ would be able to return to life after being crucified the prophet wrote your dead will live their corpses will rise Isaiah 26:19 before Isaiah's time King David had already prophesied about Christ's death and Resurrection God's Eternal purpose was described as a mystery until it was fully revealed it
wasn't a mystery in the sense of being unknown to God as he decided that his Redemption plan would reside in Christ when the prophet spoke of the coming Messiah they made specific predictions that showed their message was from God not man moreover when specific predictions come true there is no doubt about the truth that Jesus is the Christ among the prophecies I've mentioned the book contains two of the most famous prophecies in scriptures the Virgin birth of the Messiah and the suffering servant who died for our sins fulfilled in Jesus Christ in Luke 24: 2646
