Isaiah
The Book of Isaiah is the first and longest of the Major Prophets, spanning a message of both devastating judgment and glorious hope for Israel and all nations. Isaiah prophesied during a turbulent time, warning the people of Judah about God's coming judgment through foreign powers due to their widespread sin and false worship. However, woven into these warnings are magnificent promises of future salvation and restoration. The book contains some of the clearest prophecies about the coming Messiah, describing His virgin birth, His suffering and death as a sacrificial servant, and His eventual glorious reign as King of Peace. Isaiah promises a future kingdom where righteousness will prevail, offering comfort to those who repent.
God identifies the Persian King Cyrus as His anointed, whom He will empower to conquer Babylon and order the rebuilding of Jerusalem, even though Cyrus does not know Him.
God compares Himself to the helpless idols of Babylon, which must be carried by their worshipers. God assures Israel that He has carried them from birth and will carry them to old age.
A taunt against Babylon, the "Queen of Kingdoms." She is commanded to descend into the dust because her arrogance, sorcery, and self-security will lead to sudden, total destruction.
