Why Isaiah's 66 Chapters Are The Key To The Entire Bible

Why did early Christians call the book of Isaiah "The Fifth Gospel"? The prophet Isaiah never met Jesus, yet he wrote about the Messiah's life, death, and mission with such stunning clarity that his words are quoted in the New Testament more than almost any other book. Isaiah's scroll is a masterpiece of prophecy that bridges the gap between judgment and comfort, revealing a God whose holiness is the very reason He refuses to let us go.
