Tara Lee Cobble: 以赛亚书是旧约中篇幅较长的一卷先知书，其预言涵盖了以色列北国被亚述攻陷的历史事件以及对犹大国的预警。书中预言分为三个部分：前39章讲述了以色列北国的覆亡以及神对他们罪恶的审判，并以此警告犹大国要悔改，否则也将面临同样的命运；40-55章预言了弥赛亚的到来，这在当时是遥远的未来；56-66章预言了最终的审判和神的最终的恢复。
在对以色列的审判中，神并非仅仅关注他们表面上的祭祀行为，而是更看重他们内心的悔改。神厌恶那些没有真正悔改之心的虚假祭祀，祂寻求的是人们真正改变的心，这体现在对社会弱势群体的关爱上。犹大国虽然表面上生活富足，但他们因害怕亚述的威胁而与外邦结盟，这是一种对神的背叛，他们内心的骄傲也必将招致神的审判。
然而，即使在审判中，神依然展现了祂对子民的爱与怜悯。第4章预言了弥赛亚的到来，预言中“枝子”的意象与约翰福音15章耶稣自称“真葡萄树”的意象相呼应，象征着神与祂子民的联合，以及神通过圣父、圣子和圣灵与祂的子民同住，并永远洁净他们。这预示着即使在审判之后，神依然会与祂的子民同在，并最终带来恢复和新的创造。
