Isaiah, Hebrew prophet. He was influential at the court of the kings of Judah, especially over foreign affairs. Called to the prophetic office
c.740 BC, he continued his work until the Assyrian invasion of Judah in 701 BC. According to tradition he was martyred. He asserted the supremacy of God, emphasized His moral demands, and stressed the Divine holiness, giving to this conception an ethical content. From NT times the so-called Messianic passages in the prophecies ascribed to Isaiah (especially 9: 2–7 and 11: 1–9) have been referred by Christian writers to the historic Christ, but it is disputed how far these can be attributed to the Prophet himself.
