∙ 8y agoIsaiah 1:1 introduces the book as the work of Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived in the reigns of the Judahite kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah.
The Book of Isaiah then omits the 150 year period from Hezekiah to the fall of Jerusalem and recommences with the Babylonian Exile. During this period, there was no longer a king of Judah. The anonymous author of this work is generally referred to as Second Isaiah, as opposed to First Isaiah, who wrote the earlier account.

What was Isaiah's message?
The old testament prophet Isaiah was a prophet 700 years before the birth of Jesus. He was born in Jerusalem, Israel, he was said to have found his calling as a prophet when he saw a vision in the year of the king Uzziah's death. Many of the prophecies in Isaiah begin with the historical conditions and prophecies for his day and then move forward to a far greater fulfillment prior to the return of Jesus Christ. This is the dualism seen in many of the prophecies of the Bible. The first (historical) fulfillment is lesser in scope and is followed by the greater future fulfillment at the end of this present age. The dualism in Isaiah usually pertains to the prophecies about Jesus Christ, Israel, Judah or other nations. Some problems that happened in Isaiah's time were during Isaiah's ministry, Assyria dominated the Middle East, although Egypt still harbored hopes of regaining previously lost territories and prestige. He actually was put to death during the reign of the son of Hezekiah, Manasseh, one of the most evil kings of Judah, just before the Southern Kingdom was carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar.) So Isaiah lived during a time of great unrest. Israel was surrounded by enemies and crisscrossed with invading armies. It was a time of threat, danger and desolation. This was when the prophet was sent to declare to this people the cause of their misery.
