Isaiah 43:1 - But now, this is what the LORD says-

he who created you, O Jacob,

he who formed you, O Israel:

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name; you are mine. Isaiah 49:1 - Listen to me, you islands;

hear this, you distant nations:

Before I was born the LORD called me;

from my birth he has made mention of my name.

What Bible verse can I find the longest name?

The longest name found in the Bible is in Isaiah 8:1, where Maher-shalal-hash-baz is mentioned. This name translates to "Speed the spoil, hasten the prey."


Did the prophet Isaiah foretell the future?

A:Not really. An example of Isaiah appearing to fortell the future is in Isaiah 7:14: "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." A few verses later, the young woman did indeed have a baby. But bear in mind that the 'prophecy' and its fulfilment both had to have happened before Isaiah wrote his book. To really say Isaiah had truly fortold this birth, we should have proof that he wrote this passage down before the young woman even became pregnant. There is another version of the same passage that comes from the Septuagint, a flawed, early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. In this version, Isaiah 7:14 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." This has been read to be a prophecy of Jesus, although it does not actually mention him. In this case, we should remember that Isaiah never wrote 'virgin' in this passage.


How did Jesus fulfill Isaiah's prophesy?

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 does the name issiah mean?

I'm guessing that Issiah is a variant spelling of Isaiah. Isaiah was a major prophet of the Old Testament, and his name meant "Yahweh (God) is salvation".
