Armenia
Today the Armenian Apostolic church marks the commemoration day
of the Prophet Isaiah. The Prophet Isaiah is the first of the four
major prophets of the Old Testament. He was born and spent almost his
entire life in the city of Jerusalem, in the eight century B.C. The
66 chapters of the Book of Isaiah are considered to be an ocean of
wealth, concerned with issues related to God, justice, sin, religion
and various social ills. Being an educated and intelligent man, he
was the spiritual guide to four kings of Jerusalem, expressing God's
will on many national matters. His book, written in an unsurpassed
style and spirit, is the link between the Old and the New Testaments.
Isaiah is also called the "Evangelist Prophet" for his prophesizing
on the coming of the Messiah - Jesus Christ. In the Book of Isaiah,
Chapter 61, the prophet comes forth as a servant sent by the Lord's
Soul "to bring the good news to the poor and to take care of the
desperate and hopeless." Christ would later read the words of Isaiah
in the synagogue in Nazareth, as He became the realization of that
mission in the world (Luke 4:16-21).
According to tradition, Isaiah was killed by particularly brutal means.
