In the context of Isaiah, these individuals are often characterized by their disbelief and mockery of God's prophets. This reflects a broader biblical theme where God's people are warned against hard-heartedness and unbelief, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/14.htm">Psalm 14:1</a> and <a href="/hebrews/3-12.htm">Hebrews 3:12</a>.<p><b>“Let Him hurry and hasten His work so that we may see it!</b><br>The demand for God to act quickly reveals a lack of faith and understanding of God's timing. This impatience is reminiscent of the Israelites' behavior in the wilderness, where they frequently doubted God's provision and timing (<a href="/exodus/16-2.htm">Exodus 16:2-3</a>). Theologically, it underscores the human tendency to challenge God's sovereignty and timing, contrasting with the biblical call to trust in God's perfect plan (<a href="/ecclesiastes/3-11.htm">Ecclesiastes 3:11</a>).<p><b>Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come</b><br>The title "Holy One of Israel" emphasizes God's distinctiveness and purity, a recurring theme in Isaiah. This phrase highlights the people's desire to see God's plan, yet it is spoken with a tone of skepticism. Theologically, it points to the tension between God's holiness and human sinfulness, as well as the prophetic assurance that God's plans are ultimately for the good of His people (<a href="/jeremiah/29-11.htm">Jeremiah 29:11</a>).<p><b>so that we may know it!”</b><br>The desire to "know" God's plan can be seen as a challenge rather than a genuine pursuit of understanding. This reflects a broader biblical narrative where knowledge of God is linked to obedience and faith (<a href="/proverbs/1-7.htm">Proverbs 1:7</a>). The phrase also foreshadows the New Testament revelation of God's plan through Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the embodiment of divine wisdom (<a href="/colossians/2-2.htm">Colossians 2:2-3</a>).<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.

We find them in the speech of Zedekiah (<a href="/1_kings/22-24.htm" title="But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to you?">1Kings 22:24</a>), in that of the mockers of <a href="/2_peter/3-4.htm" title="And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.">2Peter 3:4</a>.

Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.">Isaiah 8:3</a>) we may probably find an answer to the taunt. The words "the counsel of the Holy One of Israel" were obviously emphasised with a sneer at the name on which Isaiah dwelt so constantly.
