Isaiah's legacy as a prophet is foundational to both Jewish and Christian traditions, and his writings continue to be a source of inspiration and theological reflection.

Usage: The name Ἠσαΐας appears in the New Testament, primarily in references to the Old Testament prophet Isaiah. It is used to attribute quotations and prophecies to him, emphasizing the fulfillment of his prophecies in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.

Context: Isaiah, known in Greek as Ἠσαΐας, is one of the most significant prophets in the Bible. His ministry took place during the 8th century BC, primarily in the Kingdom of Judah. Isaiah's prophecies are recorded in the Book of Isaiah, which is a part of the Old Testament and is frequently quoted in the New Testament.

Isaiah's messages were directed towards both the immediate context of his time and the future, foretelling the coming of the Messiah. His prophecies include the virgin birth of Christ (Isaiah 7:14), the suffering servant (Isaiah 53), and the establishment of God's kingdom (Isaiah 9:6-7). These prophecies are often cited in the New Testament to demonstrate their fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

In the New Testament, Isaiah is mentioned by name in several passages. For example, in Matthew 3:3, John the Baptist is identified as the voice crying in the wilderness, as prophesied by Isaiah: "This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: 'A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’" (BSB). Similarly, in Luke 4:17-21, Jesus reads from the scroll of Isaiah in the synagogue, declaring the fulfillment of the prophecy in their hearing.

Isaiah's influence extends beyond his prophecies, as his writings have shaped theological concepts of salvation, judgment, and hope. His vision of a new heaven and a new earth (Isaiah 65:17) resonates with the eschatological themes found in the New Testament.
