In the context of Isaiah, the "servant" often refers to the prophets, including Isaiah himself, who conveyed God's messages to the people. This assurance of confirmation is seen throughout the Old Testament, where God consistently fulfills the prophecies given through His chosen messengers. The role of the servant can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate Servant of the Lord, fulfilling God's redemptive plan.and fulfills the counsel of His messengers The "messengers" are the prophets who delivered God's counsel to Israel. This phrase underscores God's sovereignty and His ability to bring to pass what He has decreed through His prophets. Historically, the fulfillment of prophetic counsel is evident in events such as the return from Babylonian exile, which Isaiah prophesied. This also points to the reliability of God's word, as seen in the New Testament, where Jesus fulfills numerous Old Testament prophecies.who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ At the time of Isaiah's prophecy, Jerusalem faced destruction and desolation due to impending judgment. However, God promises restoration, affirming that Jerusalem will once again be a thriving city. This prophecy was fulfilled when the exiles returned under leaders like Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. Jerusalem's restoration is a recurring theme in the Bible, symbolizing spiritual renewal and the ultimate establishment of God's kingdom.and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, The cities of Judah, like Jerusalem, were devastated by the Babylonian conquest. God's promise to rebuild them signifies hope and renewal for the nation. This rebuilding is not only physical but also spiritual, as the people are called to return to God. The rebuilding of Judah's cities foreshadows the spiritual restoration found in Christ, who rebuilds lives and communities through His redemptive work.and I will restore their ruins,’ The restoration of ruins signifies God's power to bring life and order out of chaos and destruction. This promise of restoration is a recurring biblical theme, seen in the rebuilding efforts led by figures like Ezra and Nehemiah. It also points to the ultimate restoration through Christ, who restores humanity's broken relationship with God. The imagery of ruins being restored is a powerful testament to God's redemptive purposes throughout history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book bearing his name.
