Isaiah saw a vision that undid him — the Lord high and lifted up, seraphim crying Holy, holy, holy — and when God asked whom shall I send, he answered, here am I; send me. His book is the most quoted prophet in the New Testament, full of the Messiah: a virgin shall conceive, unto us a child is born, he was wounded for our transgressions.
His name means the LORD is salvation, the very theme of his prophecy. Across sixty-six chapters he moved a nation from judgment to comfort — comfort ye, comfort ye my people.
Isaiah has become one of the most popular boys' names of the era — melodic, prophetic, and rich with meaning.
