Isaiah the Prophet

 Today in class for R.E I had to write and learn about Isaiah the prophet.  Here is my activity.


 Isaiah was born in the 8th century BC Judah. He is mostly known for predicting the birth of Jesus. Isaiah was said to live 700 years before the birth of Jesus. Born in Jerusalem, Israel, he was said to have found his calling as a prophet when he saw a vision in the year of King Uzziah's death. Isaiah prophesied the coming of the Messiah Jesus Christ. 


Uzziah's reign was 52 years in the middle of the 8th century BC. Isaiah must have begun his ministry a few years before Uzziah's death, probably in the 740s BC. Isaiah lived until the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah (not Isaiah) fourteenth year of king Hekeziah(who died 698 BC). He may have been contemporary for some years with Manasseh.
