Isaiah's Servant & Exile Ends

Isaiah pointed at Babylon's proud king. This king lifted his fist to the sky! He said he would climb higher than Yahweh himself! But Yahweh would throw him down into the dust. People who once shook before him would stare and say, "Is this the man who shook the whole earth?" His pride would end in...

Isaiah spoke words of comfort to the broken people. Yahweh would lead them home! A voice cried out, "Make a road in the empty land! Fill up the valleys! Bring down the mountains!" Yahweh himself was coming. He was coming to bring his people home. Every step of the way.

Isaiah pointed back to the days after Egypt. Israel had no city then. They had no army. But Yahweh walked with them! He led them with a cloud by day and fire by night. He carried them through every danger. Even when they were stubborn and hard, he saved them again and again.

Isa 14:3
