Isaiah was witness to one of the most turbulent periods in the history of Jerusalem, from both the religious and the political standpoint. Because of his social status he took an active and in some cases central part in the course of events. But his position did not prevent him from excoriating the corruption which had vitiated the ruling class and the aristocracy's obliviousness toward the downtrodden.
Isaiah is the most "political" of the prophets. In the face of the expansionist Assyrian empire he counseled a passive political and military response. He put his faith in divine salvation, which would certainly follow from a necessary change in the moral leadership and in the people's spiritual tenacity. Although he stood by King Hezekiah, Isaiah objected to his attempts to forge alliances with Egypt and with the envoys of the Babylonian king Merodach-baladan as a wedge against the Assyrians. Such efforts, the prophet said, demonstrated a lack of faith in God.
Isaiah is also considered the most universal of the prophets:"In the days to come, the Mount of the Lord's House shall stand firm above the mountains... And the many peoples shall go and shall say: 'Come, let us go up to the Mount of the Lord ... "(Isaiah 2:2-3). Christian theologists have drawn heavily on Isaiah's prophecies for exegetical purposes.

Isaiah is one of the longest and most important books of the Old Testament.To view him merely as a preacher about events during his lifetime is to have only half of the picture.He is perhaps best known for his prophecies about the intermediate and distant future.Isaiahs" prophecies relating to Jesus miraculous birth(ISA.7;14) and his suffering and death (Isa.53) have endeared him to christians.

He was a Prophet and Christians seem to have a hard time understanding his prophecies.

He answered the calling of God and preached a lonely message.
From what we understand he accomplished what God called him to do. That says alot.
