Study
22 From the Book of Isaiah is: Isaiah 40
The
prophecies of chapters 40-48 have as their main theme the
proclamation that God is about to restore the exiled Jews in Babylon.
They refer to a time when the words spoken to Hezekiah (39:5-7) have
been fulfilled. The first eleven verses are a prologue in which the
prophet hears heavenly voices declaring to Jerusalem the glad me sage
of redemption.
- In verses 1-11 what four great facts are proclaimed by God to give comfort to His people? How does this prophecy of the future coming and glory of the Lord find fulfillment in the New Testament? Cf. Mt. 3:3; 1 Pet. 1:23-25; Jn. 10:11.
- In verses 12-26 how is God shown to be beyond the petty mind of man to comprehend or to explain? How may we, as His creatures, draw on His infinite strength and power? See verses 29-31.
