Catholics look closely at what Jesus is handing to His First Catholic Pope.

Question 1: “Where does Isaiah say to ‘Be Catholic!’?”
Answer: “Isaiah 6:1-2,3-8 is in Today’s Catholic Reading. Isaiah was taken to Heaven and purified with ‘an ember taken with tongs from the altar’. He heard ‘The Lord of hosts’ ask: ‘Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?’ God is telling Isaiah, and us, that He is more than One Person. The Holy Spirit moved Isaiah to say: ‘Here I am,’ I said; “send me!’”

Question 2: “What other ways did God use Isaiah?”
Answer: “Isaiah prepared the way for the Coming of Jesus by leaving over a hundred written prophecies concerning details about Him, including His Virgin Birth in Is. 7:14. More of his Prophecies are here: http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/isaiah.htm)
