A:The prophet Isaiah never mentioned Jesus, either by name or in any way by which Jesus could be identified. He did not write any prophecy that Jesus fulfilled or could fulfill. There is a well known passage in most Christian Bibles at Isaiah 7:14 that is a supposed prophecy that Jesus would be born of a virgin, but Isaiah never wrote that passage, at least not as we generally read it.

The passage, used by the author of Matthew, comes from the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, which says, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." What the prophet Isaiah wrote was, "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, the young woman shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." The young woman in question did have a child just a few verses later in Isaiah's book.

What will happen after the Messiah comes?

The Good News is the messiah has come to save us. Jesus Christ laid down his life so you can have life in him. He will return and when he does everyone will know without a shadow of doubt that he is the Lord of lords and King of kings. He will come from the heavens and his light will be seen by everyone. Isaiah has some prophecies of the messiah which most are fulfilled and some will be fulfilled when he returns and evil is eliminated. Revelations talks about his second coming which goes along the prophecies of Isaiah. All the prophecies Jesus was to fulfill on earth he fulfilled and all the prophecies he will fulfill when he returns will be fulfilled.
