Big picture in three sentences
Isaiah warns that injustice and fake worship will not last.
He also writes some of the Bible's brightest hope: a child will be born, and a servant will carry our grief.
The book moves from courtroom to comfort, ending with new heavens and a new earth.
Handel’s Messiah takes many of its lines from Isaiah.
Key verse · Isaiah 9:6
“For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
