Mountains and hills are often seen as symbols of strength and endurance in the Bible. In the ancient Near Eastern context, they were considered immovable and eternal. The potential removal or shaking of these natural features suggests a scenario of great upheaval or change. This imagery is used elsewhere in Scripture, such as in <a href="/psalms/46-2.htm">Psalm 46:2-3</a>, to describe times of turmoil. It emphasizes that even if the most stable elements of creation were to be disturbed, God's promises remain steadfast.My loving devotion will not depart from you The term "loving devotion" is often translated as "steadfast love" or "mercy" in other versions. It refers to God's covenantal love, which is unwavering and faithful. This assurance is rooted in the Hebrew concept of "chesed," a loyal love that is central to God's character. This promise echoes God's covenant with David in <a href="/2_samuel/7-15.htm">2 Samuel 7:15</a>, where He assures that His steadfast love will not depart. It highlights the unchanging nature of God's love, contrasting with the potential instability of the world.and My covenant of peace will not be broken The "covenant of peace" refers to a divine promise of well-being and harmony. In the biblical context, a covenant is a solemn agreement, often initiated by God, that establishes a relationship with His people. This particular covenant is reminiscent of the peace promised in the Messianic prophecies, such as in <a href="/ezekiel/37-26.htm">Ezekiel 37:26</a>, where God speaks of an everlasting covenant of peace. It points to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, who establishes a new covenant through His sacrifice, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>.says the LORD, who has compassion on you The declaration "says the LORD" underscores the authority and certainty of the promise. The mention of God's compassion highlights His tender mercy and care for His people. This compassion is a recurring theme in the prophetic books, where God often expresses His desire to restore and comfort His people despite their unfaithfulness. It aligns with passages like <a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>, which speak of God's mercies being new every morning. This compassion is ultimately embodied in Jesus Christ, who, moved by compassion, healed and ministered to the multitudes, as recorded in the Gospels.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah's ministry spanned the reigns of several kings of Judah.
