Written 700 years before Jesus was born, Isaiah describes His birth, ministry, suffering, and death with such precision that scholars call it "the Fifth Gospel."

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.
