"A Message of Comfort"
Yesha‘yahu (Isaiah) – the first of the major prophets – lived during a turbulent time in Israel’s history. By 722 BC Assyria had taken Israel, the northern kingdom. To the south, Judah had fallen into mass idolatry. In this stormy political climate Isaiah writes about the surrounding nations: Babylon, Damascus, Egypt. But he also writes messages of comfort. Isaiah reminds God’s people – who are living in exile - Who made them: the one true God, who promises redemption. Just as God separated the light from the darkness, Isaiah calls Isra’el out of the darkness of their times, to be a light to the nations. Points to Ponder: Confusion, struggle, feeling trapped – all can feel like darkness with no end. The promise of light is offered for all who believe and put their trust in Yeshua (Jesus), the Redeemer.
