The Kingdom of Israel, due to its abandonment of the law of the Lord, had been destroyed by the Assyrian empire, but the Kingdom of Judah resisted the onslaught of this empire thanks to the courage of its King, Hezekiah, and the spiritual help of Isaiah.
But the work of this prophet did not end with the end of the tyrant Sennacherib, ruler of the Assyrian empire, the prophet also warned in the Bible the children of Abraham to remain faithful to the law through the gift of fear of God (constancy, firmness, devotion, and equanimity). Like all the prophets Isaiah remembered to the nation of Israel the curses and blessings of the law of God; because despite the efforts of some kings of the Davidic dynasty, such as Hezekiah and Josiah, to restore the covenant with God, the people had persisted in many sins that put the survival of the Kingdom at risk. Because as the prophet taught with wise words: "But your iniquities have separated you from God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear", Isaiah 59:2.
This is why Isaiah began his book with a warning but also with a call to conversion, to a change of heart, from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. Because God has a plan of salvation for humanity, its redemption through a savior messiah, but also in this plan there are blessings for the righteous and punishments for sinners.
That is why the prophet warned that there is no safe path for sinners with these words:
"Jerusalem staggers,
Judah is falling;
their words and deeds are against the LORD,
defying his glorious presence.
The look on their faces testifies against them;
they parade their sin like Sodom;
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
They have brought disaster upon themselves." Isaiah 3:8-9.
But then the prophet, as a reminder of Psalm 1, the Psalm of Two Ways, continued and concluded with a blessing and a curse:
"Tell the righteous it will be well with them,
for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
Woe to the wicked!
Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back
for what their hands have done" Isaiah 3:10-11.
These teachings of Isaiah were not forgotten, and they had a deep echo in the Christian faith, to the point that Isaiah is considered the prophet of hope.
