The prophet of the coming King — judgment, comfort, and a suffering servant.
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as ______; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Isaiah has 66 chapters and the Bible has 66 books — and the book's two halves even echo the two Testaments: judgment in the first 39, comfort in the last 27. Coincidence, but a handy one.
The New Testament quotes Isaiah more than any prophet — 'a virgin shall conceive,' 'unto us a child is born,' 'wonderful, counsellor, the mighty God.'
Isaiah 53 describes a servant 'wounded for our transgressions' and 'bruised for our iniquities' — written some seven centuries before the crucifixion.
When Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up, his response set the prophet's job description: 'Here am I; send me.'
