Prophets are 'called by God' to receive and convey His message. Isaiah, the first of the four so-called 'major' prophets along with Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, is often present in Old Testament iconographic depictions. His presence is mainly due to one of his prophecies: "Behold, the young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel" (Isaiah 7:14). In depictions of the Annunciation, the book that the Virgin is reading, according to St Bernard, contains the famous prophecy of Isaiah.
In 587 #Jerusalem was destroyed and the kingdom of Judah annexed to Babylon. The exile was a moment of fundamental importance for the history of biblical composition, in fact at that time the Deuteronomistic work reached its final editing.
With the end of Old Testament prophethood, every Jew is called upon to personally guard the Law through the study and knowledge of the #Torah.
