The Bible in a Book

The book of Isaiah is considered by the Jews to be the most important of all the prophecies, not only for its volume but also for the content found within it.[1] It was separated from the rest of the prophetical books into its own scroll.

Apparently, the Lord feels like it is very important too because it is quoted directly at least sixty-six times in the New Testament and twenty of the twenty-seven New Testament writers reinforce their message by quoting Isaiah.[3] Its value can be illustrated by a number of things. First, only Psalms contains more predictions of Christ than does Isaiah.

In Isaiah we find prophecies concerning:

• Christ's incarnation
• Christ's youth
• Christ's Manner
• Christ's Obedience
• Christ's Message
• Christ's miracles
• Christ's suffering
• Christ's rejection
• Christ's shame
• Christ's death
• Christ's ascension and
• Christ's second coming

It might be considered, the "Bible in a Book" because of the similarities between the book of Isaiah and the Bible as a whole.
