Unraveling the Connection between ‘True Detective’ and Prophet Isaiah

Did you know that the Bible houses the longest name, belonging to Prophet Isaiah’s son? It stretches across 18 characters and reads Maher-shalal-hash-baz, symbolically translating to ‘quick to plunder’. Imagine meeting someone named ‘Maher shalal’ today – it’s undeniably a name that sticks.

This name stands out not just for its length but also for its historical reference, marking the second prophetic name in the Bible. It foreshadowed the doom of Damascus and Samaria at the hands of Tiglath-Pileser III, the Assyrian king. Interestingly, acclaimed actor Mahershala Ali, known for his role in ‘Moonlight’, shares his name with this biblical figure.
