Answer 1

Isaiah contains a series of oracles against the foreign enemies of Israel and upon unfaithful elements within Israel itself. 1.beginning with Babylon, the future enemy that would destroy Judah Isaiah goes on to prophesy judgment on: -Assyria -Philistia -Moab -Syria -and Israel 2. and nations -Egypt -Babylon and her allies -Jerusalem and her unfaithful leaders 3.the city of Tyre

Answer 2

Isaiah is known to have written much of the Book of Isaiah, where he says he wrote during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. The second part of the Book of Isaiah was commenced by an anonymous author over a hundred years later during the Babylonian Exile, at a time when there were no longer any kings of Judah.

Answer 3

The Kings during the time of Isaiah are stated in the first chapter of Isaiah.

Isaiah 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

Its important to remember that Jerusalem would be headed into captivity shortly after this point in time.

Answer 4

King Hezekiah is of particular interest in this line of Kings. He tried to reunite the Norther and Southern Kingdoms by inviting the people of the Northern Kingdom to the Passover feast but was rejected. Some from the tribe of Manasseh, and some other tribes, did, however respond and from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints perspective (at least in my opinion) this led to the ancestors of Lehi returning to Jerusalem where Lehi was born. (See The Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 1). Thus Lehi and his family were not carried away captive in 722 BC by the Assyrian King and were present in Jerusalem when our Father instructed Lehi and his family to leave Jerusalem because of the impending destruction that would take place in 587 BC when the Southern Kingdom was invaded by King Nebuchadnezzar.

Answer 5

The kingdom of Judah (Judea; also called the Southern Kingdom).
