These prophecies are categorized into personal prophecies, describing the Messiah's character and qualities, and national prophecies, detailing His role in Israel's restoration and the establishment of a just and peaceful kingdom. The devotional highlights ten significant prophecies: the virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14), a child born to bear the government (Isaiah 9:6-7), the shoot from Jesse (Isaiah 11:1), the Messiah as a healer (Isaiah 35:1-10), the chosen servant (Isaiah 42:1-4), the light to the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6; 60:1-3), and various aspects of the suffering servant (Isaiah 50:6; 52:13-53:12).
