📚 Historical Context

Isaiah prophesied during the 8th century BC, when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts: the northern kingdom (Israel) and the southern kingdom (Judah), with Jerusalem as its capital. Isaiah lived during a time of political turmoil, with threats from powerful nations like Assyria, and he delivered God's messages to warn and encourage his people. The phrase 'the word...saw' reflects the Hebrew understanding that prophets received God's messages through visions as well as audible words.
