More than any other book of the Old Testament, the Book of Isaiah has been interpreted by Christians in an attempt to find evidence that it foresaw the coming of Jesus. Numerous passages of Isaiah have been assigned meanings considered consistent with the New Testament. These include the claim that Isaiah 7:14 prophesied the birth of a virgin and therefore, presumably, of Jesus, the Servant Songs, which now are seen as referring to Jesus, and many others.

Christians sometimes refer to the the Book of Isaiah because of the allusions to Jesus that they find within it.

The book of Isaiah is referred to as the "Fifth Gospel" due to its detailed prophecies about the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its vivid descriptions and theological depth make it akin to a gospel account. It provides a profound insight into the redemptive work of Christ in the Old Testament.
