How is Isaiah's message relevant to today?

Answer 1

Christianity: The book of Isaiah is relevant today as it reveals much of what GOD said and reveals much of the mystery of the gospel itself although written prior to the time of Christ.

Answer:

Judaism: The words of the Prophets are relevant always; otherwise they wouldn't have been recorded. Isaiah calls us to awareness of God, and reveals details of past history and the future redemption.

Answer 2

In many ways. Isaiah is like many other prophetic writings in that it was for the immediate times or very near future. But it also contains future events - many equate chapters 9, 32, and 35 in particular to speak of the Coming Messiah, Jesus and chapters 2 through 4 to give the reader a glimpse of the 'coming age' when God judges the wicked.

Consider the futuristic Isaiah as he closes his book by mentioning the glory of a new heavens and new earth in chapters 65-66. Jesus Christ, as the Revelator of Revelation, reemphasizes the ultimate new heavens and new earth in Revelation 21-22. "The Bible reaches its final climax in a magnificent vision of the new heavens and the new earth, which is an expansion of Isaiah 66. Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them" ( Halley's Bible Handbook, 2000, p. 390-391; compare Revelation 21:3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Yes, Isaiah was a hopeful, faithful and loving prophet of God. And much of his message is as relevant today as it was in the late eighth century B.C.. Isaiah remains a prophet for our time. If we will heed his admonitions, repent of our ungodly ways and turn to God, then the promises he recorded for the entire world in the future can be yours and mine today.
