there was only one author of Isaiah...the use of various visions, differences in genre, and so on do not indicate different authorship (that's an assumption based conclusion). I have been writing for over 30 years...my style has changed and I have song, poems, narrative, and so on and am only one person.
The second thing many moderns do not understand is that stating something that will definitely happen as if it has already has to do with the use of tenses in ancient Hebrew. They did not conceptualize in terms of past events becoming a present that moves us to a number of possible futures they conceptualized in only uncompleted and completed actions or events. God's sense of time is the eternal NOW. Time in the eternal does not move from the past through the present into the future. So this is what makes "prophecy" unique because it expresses knowledge of the end from the beginning. The end (seen as completed in the eternal) may r may not have alreadyy came to pass in the temporal. So for Isaiah to rightly name Cyrus DOES NOT mean this section was written AFTER Cyrus just that God foreknew it would be Cyrus.

∙ 7y agoAs far as we know, only one of the three authors of the Book of Isaiah was actually called Isaiah. This was Isaiah son of Amoz, who wrote the first 39 chapters. Two other, anonymous authors wrote the remainder of the book and we call them Second Isaiah and Third Isaiah, but this is purely for our convenience.

And He cast out the spirits by a word, and He healed all those having illness,Mat 8:17 so that it might be fulfilled that spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took upon Himself our weaknesses, and bore our sicknesses."

How is Isaiah's prophecy accomplished against Israel and Judah?
Isaiah 1:1 introduces the book as the work of Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived in Judah during the reigns of the Judahite kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, early in the seventh century BCE. The Book of Isaiah then omits the 150 year period from Hezekiah to the fall of Jerusalem and recommences with the Babylonian Exile. The remainder of the Book of Isaiah was written in Babylon in the middle of the sixth century BCE and finally after the Return from Exile. The three authors of the separate works that later became the Book of Isaiah are sometimes known as First Isaiah (I Isaiah), Second Isaiah (II Isaiah) and Third Isaiah (III Isaiah). Much of First Isaiah's writing was in the form of oracles, vague comments and predictions that could be interpreted in many ways. Reading them in hindsight, it is almost always possible to link an oracle to a future event in some way. First Isaiah witnessed the fall of Israel, so at the time he wrote his book, this was no longer a prophecy. He did not predict the Babylonian Exile, which was far off in the future, but Second Isaiah wrote of the events in Babylon.
How was Isaiah's prophecy accomplished against Israel and Judah?
Your question may be confusing accomplished and fulfilled. Isaiah's prophecies were accomplished through visions which he merited to receive from God.Those of his prophecies which were directed against Israel and Judah were fulfilled when Israel was exiled by the Assyrians, and Judah was exiled by the Babylonians.See also:How many Isaiahs?Israelite prophetsA few fulfilled prophecies:The destruction of Babylon (Isaiah 13:19).The fact that billions of people have come under the influence of the Abrahamic belief, with the Greek, Norse and Roman gods now long-defunct.

According to scholars, the Book of Isaiah was a composite work by Isaiah, son of Amoz, as well as two further, unknown authors now known as Second Isaiah and Third Isaiah, whose lives and experiences were separated by many decades.Isaiah 1:1 introduces the book as the work of Isaiah, son of Amoz, who lived in the reigns of the Judahite kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. Because there were three authors of the book, this Isaiah is generally referred to as I Isaiah or First Isaiah.

The anonymous author of chapters 40-55, covering the period of the Exile, is generally referred to as Second Isaiah.

When was isaiahs prophecy fulfilled?
About 700 hundred years earlier Isaiah prophesied that a virgin would give birth to a baby who would save his people. He also told the trial of Jesus . That prophecy has been completely-fulfilled. However, Isaiah made many other prophecies, some of which have been only partially-fulfilled and others not at all.
How many years was the book of Isaiah written before Christ was born?
Some scholars say that the Book of Isaiah was written by two authors, now known as First Isaiah and Second Isaiah. Others, possibly a minority, say that there were three authors, and add Third Isaiah as well. First Isaiah, whom we know as the Isaiah who signed his work in verse 1:1, wrote during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah of Judah. This places First Isaiah around 700 years before the time of Christ. There was then a break of over a hundred years before an anonymous author, now known as Second Isaiah decided to add new material to the by-then ancient book, during the Babylonian Exile. Whether he is the same author who continued to write during the early years after the Return from Exile is uncertain. Overall, Second Isaiah (and Third Isaiah) wrote for some decades, but the total is open to debate. They lived around 500 years before Christ. Thus, the Book of Isaiah was begun around 700 years before Christ and completed about 500 years before Christ.
