Did Isaiah preach in the northern or southern kingdom?

Isaiah primarily preached in the southern kingdom of Judah.


Was Israel in captivity while the prophet Isaiah was alive?

Isaiah, son of Amoz, wrote of things he saw during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He therefore began his career around 740 BCE and could have continued for more than forty years from that time. Israel fell to the Assyrians in 722 BCE, so it was still nominally independent, although a vassal state, during his early years. In his later years, Israel was no more, with many of its people transferred to other parts of the Assyrian Empire, where they gradually lost their separate ethnic identity and assimilated into the host cultures. This probably occurred around the mid-point of Isaiah's career as a prophet and writer. The southern kingdom, Judah remained at least nominally independent during the life of Isaiah. However, there were two further, anonymous authors who lived long after the time of Isaiah and contributed to the Book of Isaiah, after Judah fell to the Babylonians and the people were taken into Exile. Because we do not know their real names, these authors are referred to as Second Isaiah (II Isaiah) and Third Isaiah (III Isaiah).

Amos prophesied primarily in the northern kingdom of Israel, while Isaiah's ministry took place in Judah. The two prophets are not directly related in terms of family lineage.

What happened to the Hebrew people at the time Isaiah lived?

Book of Isaiah was a composite work by authors now known as I Isaiah and II 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 two authors of the book, this Isaiah is generally referred to as I Isaiah or First Isaiah. The northern kingdom of Israel had long since ceased to exist, with many of the Israelites either absorbed into the Assyrian kingdom or scattered as refugees to Judah and Egypt. Judah was still an autonomous kingdom, struggling to absorb a huge influx of refugees from the north, while undertaking far-reaching religious reforms. The Book of Isaiah omits the 150 year period from Hezekiah to the fall of Jerusalem and recommences with the Babylonian Exile. The anonymous author of this work is generally referred to as Second Isaiah. During the early part of this period, many Jews were effectively captives of Babylon, although some rural and provincial Jews did remain behind. After the defeat of Babylon by Cyrus of Persia in 539 BCE, the lot of the Jews improved, and they were even allowed to return to Judah. Meanwhile, the Idumeans had settled in what had been southern Judah - the inland region roughly south-west of the Dead Sea.

Who was Isaiah and what was his relationship with Jesus?

Isaiah was a Jewish prophet, the son of Amoz, who lived in Jerusalem during the reigns of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. In Isaiah 1:1, he says that he was writing concerning what he saw concerning Judah in his own lifetime. Isaiah lived centuries before the time of Jesus and knew nothing of him, and therefore never mentioned Jesus in the Book of Isaiah. However, the Book of Isaiah seems to be an ideal source for quotes that Christians can use to link Jesus back into the Old Testament.
