The Book of Isaiah | KJV | Full Audio Book - With Magnificent Aerial Scenery

Isaiah is the first of the 17 books of the Prophets. Among the prophets who left behind books, Isaiah is generally considered the greatest. Historically, Isaiah wrote during the period of 4 kings of Judah when the Assyrian Empire was at its height. The book’s 66 chapters correspond to the 66 books of the Bible. The first 39 chapters deal with events that correspond to the 39 books of the Old Testament while the last 27 chapters, with their emphasis on the coming Messiah sound much more like the New Testament. Isaiah was a prophet of Judah around 740 B.C. For around fifty years he revealed many of his thoughts and visions. Prophetically, Isaiah speaks of the rise and fall of the Babylonian Empire and the return of the people under the Persian King Cyrus.

The book of Isaiah describes God’s sovereign majesty and redemptive love for his people. It reveals God’s judgment and salvation and that God cannot allow sin to go unpunished. Isaiah portrays God’s impending judgment as a consuming fire. Isaiah’s primary focus was the coming judgment on the southern kingdom of Judah due to its idolatry, apostasy and wickedness. Only because of the Lord’s mercy and His promise to Israel, God will not allow Israel or Judah to be completely destroyed.

More than any other book of the OT, Isaiah focuses its theme on the salvation that will come through the Messiah. The Messiah will one day rule in justice and righteousness Chapter 9:7 and 32:1. Chapter 9 is often read at Christmas time as the prophet says, “For unto us a child is born. In the synagogue in Nazareth Jesus read the opening of Isaiah 61 and then proclaimed, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” Luke 4:16-21. The book ends with a picture of the final redemption of Israel and the nations in a new heaven and new earth, where God and his people meet in glory.
