I'll make absolutely NO QUALMS about it!!  Perhaps the GREATEST prophet in the Bible!!  🙌  & bar none!!  Through his vast MAANNY-a-checklist prophecies - about Jesus... AND Jesus fulfilled them EVERY SINGLE ONE!!  From the START of His ministry (when He was handed a scroll from the prophet Isaiah) ~ Right down to the cross!!  An exact PERFECTA trifecta!!  Whatta GREAT human being, & servant of God!!  His example, & closeness to God ~ is one we should ALL strive to possess!!  Fo DEFINATE sho, and ABSOLUTELY!!  His Book, has been/is currently/& will ALWAYS be, amongst my favorites in the Bible...  Without a doubt!  BTW - here is the prophet Isaiah, according to Michaelangelo.. Cool stuff, eh?  Ehh?!?  Eh!!  Unfortunately - like ALL prophets, before & after Isaiah.. He was painfully persecuted!! 

 

That said?? 

 

....Here is "HIS," (the Prophet Isaiah's) story...

​

He was born in the 8th century BC, in the Kingdom of Judah (the South of Israel).. 

Which (according to Wiki... Was an Iron Age kingdom of the Southern Levant. The Hebrew Bible depicts it as the successor to the United Monarchy, a term denoting the Kingdom of Israel under biblical kings Saul, David and Solomon and covering the territory of two historical kingdoms, Judah and Israel; however, historians are divided about the veracity of this account. For the parallel history of the southern Kingdom of Judah and its northern neighbour, the Kingdom of Israel, see History of ancient Israel and Judah.)  

 

The first verse of the Book of Isaiah states that Isaiah prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah (or Azariah)...  purportedly here at the remains of Uzziah's palace in Jerusalem..

 

Uzziah's reign was 52 years in the middle of the 8th century BCE, and Isaiah must have begun his ministry a few years before Uzziah's death, probably in the 740s BCE. Isaiah lived until the fourteenth year of Hezekiah's reign (who died 698 BCE).  He may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh. All in all, Isaiah prophesied for 86 very impressive years!!  

 

According to some modern interpretations, Isaiah's wife was called "the prophetess" (Isaiah 8:3), either because she was endowed with the prophetic gift,  or simply because she was the "wife of the prophet".  Though - it's more thought that she, indeed, had the prophetic gifts (though NOT in the giant abundance of her hubby.)  Coolio stuff!!

​

Isaiah is recognized as a prophet in;

​

CHRISTIANity; YESSSSS!!

​

JUDAISM;  (MISSED the CHRIST train, STILL can/will get on!  C'mon ALREADY!  Jesus fulfilled EVERY prophecy about Himself that Isaiah prophesied..!!  What do you want, really! EEVVVVEERRYYY ONE of them!!) 

​

ISLAM; NO! NOO!! just NOO!  Give me a Muslim & a minute, & through their OWN Koran,  I'll convert them!!  Muhammad was asked the way to 'eternal life' of his desciples.. & he answered, "WHY would you ask ME that?!  I DON'T KNOW if I am going to heaven or NOT!  ((GEEEZ - whadda fella to follow!!  REALLLY!!)).. 🙄 ..Jesus gave a STEP BY STEP instruction!!!

​

Anyway - Isaiah (id'd as "Isaias" and "Esaias").. Within the text of the Book of Isaiah, Isaiah himself is referred to as "the prophet"..  Important fact in the recent find in Israel, of what is purported to be the seal of the prophetic giant..
