Isaiah Begins His Prophecy
Isaiah begins his prophecy circa 745 BCE. The Prophet Isaiah, one of the most known and beloved amongst the prophets, starts his prophecy during the time when the Assyrians reassert their intimidating power on the geopolitical map.
He not only warns of destruction and exile, should Judah and Israel continue in their idolatrous descent, but he is most well-known for his message to encourage righteousness and justice, and prophecies of consolation and hope, speaking of a time in the distant future when the nation of Israel will again return to their borders. His prophecy covers the period of Assyrian aggression by Kings Tiglath-Pileser III, Sargon II, and Sennacherib.
The Assyrian attacks ultimately result in the destruction of the ten northern tribes of Israel as well as the Siege of Jerusalem.
