Jews, Gentiles or Christian Church?

With the Ethiopian eunuch we ask, "Of whom does the prophet speak?"

 Isaiah 54

Recognizing that the previous prophecy (chapter 53) speaks of Christ and His crucifixion, one is more inclined to see these words addressed to the Church which arises from His death and resurrection.

• v 1-6.  The bride/wife metaphor
• v 7-10. God’s everlasting love
• v 11-15. Future glory for the occasionally downcast
• v 16-17. Guaranteed victory

Isaiah 55

• v 1-7. Invitation/command to seek the Lord
• v 8-11. God’s word
• v 12-13. The joy of God’s people
