In biblical context, visions often convey God's messages to His people, revealing His will and future events. Judah and Jerusalem are central to the narrative of the Old Testament, representing the southern kingdom and its capital. Jerusalem holds significant religious and political importance as the site of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship. The focus on Judah and Jerusalem underscores the specific audience and geographical setting of Isaiah's prophecies, highlighting the spiritual and moral state of God's chosen people.that Isaiah son of Amoz saw Isaiah, whose name means "Yahweh is salvation," is one of the major prophets in the Bible. His father, Amoz, is not widely known outside of this context, but Isaiah's lineage suggests a connection to the royal family or priesthood, granting him access to the kings of Judah. The phrase "saw" implies a direct and personal encounter with God's message, emphasizing the authenticity and authority of Isaiah's prophecies. Isaiah's ministry is marked by his call to repentance and his foretelling of both judgment and redemption.during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah This timeframe situates Isaiah's ministry in a period of significant political and spiritual change, spanning approximately 740 to 686 BC. Uzziah's reign was marked by prosperity and military strength, but also by pride and eventual downfall. Jotham continued his father's policies but faced growing threats from surrounding nations. Ahaz's reign was characterized by idolatry and political alliances that compromised Judah's faithfulness to God. Hezekiah, in contrast, initiated religious reforms and sought to restore worship of Yahweh. Isaiah's prophecies address the challenges and failures of these kings, calling the nation back to covenant faithfulness. This period also includes the rise of Assyria as a dominant power, posing a constant threat to Judah and influencing the political landscape. Isaiah's messages often reflect the tension between reliance on God and the temptation to seek security through human alliances.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is known for his prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah and the salvation of the Lord.

And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.">1Samuel 3:1</a>), is the correlative of the old term "seer," as applied to the prophet himself (<a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm" title="(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)">1Samuel 9:9</a>). The latter fell into disuse, probably because the pretenders to the clairvoyance which it implied brought it into discredit. The prophet, however, did not cease to be a "seer;" and to see visions was still one of the highest forms of the gift of the spirit of Jehovah (<a href="/joel/2-28.htm" title="And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:">Joel 2:28</a>). It describes the state, more or less ecstatic, in which the prophet sees what others do not see, the things that are yet to come, the unseen working of the eternal laws of God. As compared with "the word of the Lord," it indicates a higher intensity of the ecstatic state; but the two terms were closely associated, and, as in <a href="/isaiah/2-1.htm" title="The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.">Isaiah 2:1</a>, a man was said to see "the word of the Lord." Judah and Jerusalem are named as the centre, though not the limit, of the prophet's work.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 1. - TITLE OF THE WORK. It is questioned whether the title can be regarded as Isaiah's, or as properly belonging to the work, and it is suggested that it is rather a heading invented by a collector who brought together into a volume such prophecies of Isaiah as were known to him, the collection being a much smaller one than that which was made ultimately. In favor of this view it is urged (1) that the prophecies, as we have them, do not all "concern Judah and Jerusalem;" (2) that there is a mistake in the title, which Isaiah could not have made, none of the prophecies belonging to the reign of Uzziah. But it may be answered, that, in the scriptural sense, all and Jerusalem, prophecy "concerns Judah and Jerusalem," i.e. the people and city of God; and, further, that it is quite impossible to prove that no part of the "vision" was seen in the reign of Uzziah. There are no means of knowing whether Isaiah collected his prophecies into a volume himself or whether the collection was the work of others. In either case, the existing title must be regarded as designed for the entire work. All the earlier prophecies - those of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Nahum, and Zephaniah - have some title introducing them. Verse 1. - The vision (comp. <a href="/obadiah/1-1.htm">Obadiah 1:1</a>; <a href="/nahum/1-1.htm">Nahum 1:1</a>). The term is probably used in a collective sense, but is also intended to suggest the intrinsic unity of the entire body of prophecies put forth by Isaiah. As prophets were originally called "seers" (<a href="/1_samuel/9-9.htm">1 Samuel 9:9</a>), so prophecy was called "vision;" and this latter use continued long after the other (comp. <a href="/1_chronicles/17-15.htm">1 Chronicles 17:15</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/12-27.htm">Ezekiel 12:27</a>; <a href="/daniel/9-23.htm">Daniel 9:23</a>; <a href="/obadiah/1-1.htm">Obadiah 1:1</a>, etc.). Isaiah the son of Amoz (comp. <a href="/isaiah/2-1.htm">Isaiah 2:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/13-1.htm">Isaiah 13:1</a>; <a href="/isaiah/37-2.htm">Isaiah 37:2</a>; etc.; <a href="/2_kings/20-1.htm">2 Kings 20:1</a>; <a href="/2_chronicles/32-32.htm">2 Chronicles 32:32</a>). The signification of the name Isaiah is "the salvation of Jehovah." The name Amen (Amots) is not to be confused with Amos ('Amos), who seems to have been a contemporary (<a href="/amos/1-1.htm">Amos 1:1</a>). Concerning Judah and Jerusalem. The prophecies of Isaiah concern primarily the kingdom of Judah, not that of Israel. They embrace a vast variety of nations and countries (see especially <a href="/isaiah/13.htm">Isaiah 13, 15</a>. - 21, 23, 47.); but these nations and countries are spoken of "only because of the relation in which they stand to Judah and Jerusalem" (Kay), or at any rate to the people of God, symbolized under those names. Jerusalem occupies a prominent place in the prophecies (see <a href="/isaiah/1-8.htm">Isaiah 1:8, 21</a>; <a href="/isaiah/3-16.htm">Isaiah 3:16-26</a>; <a href="/isaiah/4-3.htm">Isaiah 4:3-6</a>; <a href="/isaiah/29.htm">Isaiah 29</a>. 1-8; 31:4-9, etc.). In the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. Uzziah (or Azariah, as he is sometimes called) reigned fifty-two years - probably from B.C. 811 to B.C. 759; Jotham sixteen years - from B.C. 759 to B.C. 743; Ahaz also sixteen years - from B.C. 743 to B.C. 727; and Hezekiah twenty-nine years - from B.C. 727 to B.C. 698. Isaiah probably prophesied only in the later years of Uzziah, say from B.C. 760; but as he certainly continued his prophetical career tin Sennacherib's invasion of Judaea (<a href="/isaiah/37-5.htm">Isaiah 37:5</a>), which was not earlier than B.C. 705, he must have exercised the prophet's office for at least fifty-six years. The lowest possible estimate of the duration of his ministry is forty-seven years - from the last year of Uzziah, B.C. 759, to the fourteenth of Hezekiah (<a href="/isaiah/38-5.htm">Isaiah 38:5</a>). The highest known to us is sixty-four years - from the fourth year before Uzziah's death ( B.C. 762) to the last year of Hezekiah ( B.C. 698).
