dc.description.abstractProphecy is not something new in the Old Testament and in our African context e.g. Kenya. In every generation, God raises certain people to convey his message to his people. Even during our age, there are those people whom he has called and chosen for his special mission In this paper, I am going to put my attention more on the call and the mission of the prophet Isaiah and how he reacted to different situations of his time. I would like to show clearly how he strongly defended the rights of the poor of his time. I would like also to clarify a few things that remain a mystery for most of our Christians, even Catholics, pertaining to who is a prophet and his work. I tend to think that there are so many people who do not know very well what the call to prophecy entails. These and many more are the issues which I would like to address in this essay. In the first chapter, I would like to dwell more on the prophet Isaiah, his call and mission to the people of his time. In the second chapter I would like to say something on the prophet Isaiah and the poor of his time In the third chapter I would like to highlight a few things about the poor in Kenya and our attitude towards them as prophets Then, in the fourth chapter I would like to say something about who is a prophet and his work and the position of the church towards the poor. In the same chapter, I would like to show the active power of the Gospel which we are all called to preach to all people as the today's prophets.en_US
