📚 Historical Context
In the historical context, Isaiah was a prophet in ancient Judah around 740 BC, during the reign of King Uzziah, a time of relative stability that was about to face threats from neighboring empires. In a vision in the temple, Isaiah saw the Lord on His throne surrounded by angels, which led him to recognize his own sinfulness and the holiness of God. When God asked for a volunteer to deliver His message to the people, Isaiah responded with readiness, marking the beginning of his prophetic ministry.
