📚 Historical Context

Isaiah prophesied during a time when Israel and Judah were experiencing moral decay and turning away from God despite His repeated warnings through various prophets. The people were engaging in idol worship, social injustice, and religious hypocrisy while still going through the motions of worship. This warning of judgment came as God's final appeal before allowing foreign nations to conquer and exile His people.
