Overview
Isaiah is the Mount Everest of Old Testament prophecy. In 66 chapters (mirroring the Bible's 66 books), Isaiah moves from devastating judgment to breathtaking hope. The Suffering Servant passages (chapters 42, 49, 50, 53) are among the most important texts in all of Scripture — describing the crucifixion centuries before it happened.
