The Hebrew word for peace, "shalom," implies completeness and well-being, not just the absence of conflict. In the context of Isaiah, this peace is often associated with the Messianic kingdom, where ultimate peace will be established through the reign of the Messiah. <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a> refers to the Messiah as the "Prince of Peace," indicating that true peace is a divine gift. Historically, Israel often faced turmoil and conflict, making the promise of divine peace particularly significant. This peace is not achieved through human effort but is a divine act, reflecting God's covenant faithfulness.<p><b>For all that we have accomplished,</b><br>This phrase emphasizes human limitations and the futility of relying on one's own strength. In the broader context of Isaiah, the prophet frequently contrasts human pride and self-reliance with the need for dependence on God. The accomplishments of Israel, whether in military victories or societal achievements, are ultimately attributed to God's intervention. This reflects a biblical principle found throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/psalms/127.htm">Psalm 127:1</a>, which states that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. It underscores the idea that human efforts are insufficient without divine blessing.<p><b>You have done for us.</b><br>This final phrase attributes all success and achievements to God's action. It reflects a theology of grace, where God is the initiator and sustainer of all good things. This acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and providence is a recurring theme in the Bible, seen in passages like <a href="/philippians/2-13.htm">Philippians 2:13</a>, which speaks of God working in believers to will and act according to His purpose. The historical context of Israel, often delivered from enemies and sustained in the wilderness, serves as a backdrop for this recognition of divine provision. It also points to the ultimate work of God in Christ, who accomplishes salvation for humanity, a work that humans could not achieve on their own.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book bearing his name.
