If the first 39 chapters of Isaiah deal with old relationships, then the last 27 chapters deal with new ones to come.
You’ll forgive me if, in these grand passages, I see a body of saints much larger than the nation of Israel ever was or will be—I see God’s Church following God’s Messiah.
Isaiah 40
- 1-2 Who wouldn’t be comforted to know that the war is over?
- 3-11 Who does not see that the voice crying in the wilderness is John the Baptist and the Lord who comes to shepherd is Christ?
- 12-26 Who is a God like this one?
- 27-31 Who, besides God, can strengthen the downtrodden and outcast?
Isaiah 41
1-7 What has God done to console and strengthen His people?
8-16 God will avenge His people
17-20 God will supply everything needed for the trip home.
21-27 Who, but God, so knows the future?
28-29 Where is a man with freedom to preach.
