Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2268 (Ἠσαΐας, Ēsaias): The Greek form of Isaiah, used in the New Testament. Usage: The name Ysha'yah means "Yahweh is salvation" or "The LORD is salvation." It is primarily used as the name of the prophet Isaiah, who is a major figure in the Hebrew Bible and the author of the Book of Isaiah. Isaiah is known for his prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah and the salvation of the Lord's people. Cultural and Historical Background: Isaiah was a prophet in the 8th century BCE, during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. His ministry occurred during a time of political turmoil and spiritual decline in Israel and Judah. Isaiah's prophecies addressed both immediate concerns of his time, such as the threat from Assyria, and future events, including the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom. Isaiah is considered one of the major prophets in the Hebrew Bible and is highly regarded in both Jewish and Christian traditions.
