Very little is known about the prophet Isaiah. "Among the men whose prophetical writings have been preserved in the canon of the Bible, Isaiah, the son of Amoz, stands first. Of the circumstances of his life little is known. He seems to have descended from a noble family, according to Jewish tradition a side-line of the reigning family of David. Isaiah was married and lived in Jerusalem, his two sons, by God?s command, bearing names with symbolical meanings. He began his activity as prophet in the year in which King Uzziah died, 758 B. C., and appears to have been active for some sixty years. Beside his book of prophecy Isaiah also wrote a historical work, 2 Chron. 26, 22. According to an ancient tradition, which, however, cannot be verified, Isaiah suffered martyrdom under King Manasseh." http://www.kretzmannproject.org/ISA/ISA_INTRO.htm |

A very good 415 page pocket size booklet, titled " ISAIAH'S PROPHECY..Light for all Mankind" [ parts One and Two]is available from any branch office of the Watchtower Society [ Jehovah's Witnesses]. Just ask any member, or approach any Kingdom Hall, or on the I/Net at www.watchtower.org. A sample; Chapter One A Prophet of God Brings Light for Mankind WE LIVE in an age when virtually anything seems within man?s reach. Space travel, computer technology, genetic engineering, and other scientific innovations have opened up new possibilities to the human race, bringing the hope of a better life?perhaps even a longer one. 2 Have such advances enabled you to remove the locks from your doors? Have they eliminated the threat of war? Have they cured disease or removed the sorrow of losing a loved one in death? Hardly! Human progress, remarkable as it may be, is limited. ?We have figured out how to travel to the moon, make ever more powerful silicon chips, and transplant human genes,? states a report by Worldwatch Institute. ?But we have not yet been able to provide clean water to a billion people, slow the loss of thousands of species, or meet our energy needs without destabilizing the atmosphere.? Understandably, many look to the future with anxiety, uncertain about where to turn for comfort and hope. 3 The situation we face today is similar to that of God?s people during the eighth century B.C.E. At that time, God commissioned his servant Isaiah to bring a message of comfort to the inhabitants of Judah, and comfort was just what they needed. Turbulent events rocked the nation. The cruel Assyrian Empire would soon menace the land, filling many with dread. Where could God?s people turn for salvation? The name of Jehovah was on their lips, but they preferred to put their trust in men.?2 Kings 16:7; 18:21. |
