Isaiah (יְשַׁעְיָהוּ "Salvation is the LORD") was a major prophet in the [[Old Testament]]. He was the son of [[Amoz]], and the author of the [[Book of Isaiah]], although many scholars believe he wrote only the first half of the book (up to and including chapter 39).
[[Isaiah 6]] is a record of God's commission of Isaiah.
The first five chapters of the book reveal the themes of Isaiah's message. They include His messages included accusations of a lack of knowledge of God, and a reliance on idolatory, as well as oppression of the poor. With these messages, Isaiah took God's message of judgement to the people, revealing that they will would lose the land and be exiled.
Isaiah, however, does take also took a message of [[forgiveness]] and hope to the people. He tells told the people that there will would be a time of justice and restoration to the land, where the people will would live under an ideal king, from David's line.
[[Isaiah 1:18]] contains the very well known and beautiful words of God's forgiveness.
