- Isaiah (major prophet) most quoted of the prophetic books in NT, Gospels and Paul’s letters. Some have compared Isaiah to the OT, as Paul is to the NT, and Shakespeare is to English literature.
So vast, Isaiah captures so much of the entirety of SS. Encompasses so much, get whole story of the whole Bible in one book.
Very important book full of both prophesies of Christ & words of rebuke and consolation for the people of God as He deals with His wayward people.
Isaiah served at the royal court of four kings of Judah, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. All were good kings except Ahaz. The capital of Judah was Jerusalem, also called Zion. Note the mentions of Isaiah in 2Kgs 18-20, 2Chronicles 26:22, 2 Chronicles 32:20-32[1] and as part of his job, he would be expected to be highly educated and a great communicator. (Shakespeare wrote with the audience of royalty in mind) Additionally, Isaiah writes in Hebraic verse. These factors lead some biblical scholars refer to his level of composition as Shakespearean.

III Prophet definition, job
>> Prophets job to receive a word from God and go speak/deliver/communicate it. The prophets as a group are very diverse, spanning different historical realities. However, the message is unified because they are representing God.[3]
People remembered what they said, repeat it over again, in different orders depending on what word God spoke that the people needed at that moment & place.
Unique to each generation, Israel in exile, exactly what they needed at that time
