The concept of righteousness in the Old Testament often refers to God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. Here, it suggests that God is about to act in a way that demonstrates His justice and faithfulness. The nearness of God's righteousness implies urgency and immediacy, reflecting the prophetic assurance that God will intervene in the affairs of His people. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme of God's righteousness being revealed through His actions, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/98-2.htm">Psalm 98:2</a> and <a href="/romans/1-17.htm">Romans 1:17</a>.it is not far away, This emphasizes the imminence of God's intervention. In the historical context, the Israelites were in exile, and the promise of deliverance might have seemed distant. However, God reassures them that His righteous action is close at hand. This phrase serves to comfort the people, reminding them that despite their current circumstances, God's plan is unfolding. It also reflects the prophetic nature of Isaiah's message, which often includes both immediate and future fulfillments.and My salvation will not be delayed. Salvation here refers to deliverance from exile and restoration to their homeland. The assurance that it "will not be delayed" underscores God's sovereignty and control over time and history. This promise would have been particularly significant to the exiled Israelites, who longed for freedom and restoration. Theologically, this points to the certainty of God's promises and His ability to accomplish His purposes without hindrance.
