ISAIAH, THE LORD HAS SAVED
Isaiah’s name, “the Lord has saved,” reiterates the only hope of the world today – salvation through Christ. He is quoted most - 21 times in the NT. He lives through the reigns of 5 kings ending in wicked Manasseh, where he is probably sawn in two.
He touches almost all key biblical concepts from creation to eternity. Not chronological, it is intended to confuse the rebellious (Isaiah 28:11-13) and save the seekers.
Some references to the plethora of topics are below:
• Creation - 43:7
• Lucifer’s fall - 14:12-15

• God’s control over pagan kings - 45:1-5 NIV, The rising of King Cyrus (mentioned by name) to protect God’s people - Prophesied approximately ~712 B.C., fulfilled approximately 536 B.C.
