Living Prophecies
Commentators explain that Isaiah and his sons were living "signs and wonders" because their names were prophetic messages. Names like Shear-jashub ("a remnant shall return") and Immanuel ("God with us"), along with Isaiah's own name ("Salvation of Jehovah"), served as constant, tangible reminders to Israel of God's promises and His plan of salvation, urging the people to trust in Him.
