In the context of Isaiah, it points to a period when God will act decisively in history. The phrase is used throughout the prophetic books to denote a time when God's purposes will be fulfilled, often associated with both judgment and restoration.<p><b>men will look to their Maker</b><br>The term "Maker" emphasizes God as the Creator, reminding the people of their dependence on Him. This looking to God signifies a turning away from idolatry and self-reliance, a theme prevalent in Isaiah. It reflects a return to acknowledging God’s sovereignty and a recognition of His role as the ultimate source of life and sustenance.<p><b>and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel</b><br>The "Holy One of Israel" is a title frequently used in Isaiah, highlighting God's holiness and His special relationship with Israel. This turning of eyes suggests repentance and a renewed focus on God. It implies a shift from false gods and worldly distractions to a sincere devotion to the true God.
