Isaiah prophesied in the reigns of
Uzziah,
Jotham,
Ahaz, and
Hezekiah. He has been
Well called the evangelical
Prophet,
On
account of his numerous and full prophesies concerning the
coming and character, the ministry and preaching, the sufferings
and
Death of the
Messiah, and the extent and continuance of his
kingdom. Under the
Veil of the deliverance from
Babylon,
Isaiah
points to a much greater deliverance, which was to be effected
By the
Messiah; and seldom does he mention the one, without
alluding at the same time to the other; nay, he is often
So much
enraptured with the prospect of the more distant deliverance, as
to lose sight of that which was nearer, and to
Dwell On the
Messiah's person, office, character, and kingdom.
