In the context of Isaiah, it refers to the coming deliverance of Israel from Babylonian captivity, symbolizing God's power and faithfulness. Theologically, it points to the ultimate revelation of God's glory in the person of Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>, where the Word becomes flesh and dwells among us, revealing God's glory. The concept of God's glory being revealed is also echoed in the eschatological hope of <a href="/revelation/21-23.htm">Revelation 21:23</a>, where the glory of God illuminates the New Jerusalem.<p><b>and all humanity together will see it.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the universal scope of God's revelation. It suggests that the manifestation of God's glory is not limited to Israel but is intended for all people. This inclusivity is a recurring theme in Isaiah, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/49-6.htm">Isaiah 49:6</a>, where the Servant is a light to the nations. Historically, this can be connected to the return of the exiles, which was a public event witnessed by many. Prophetically, it points to the future when every eye will see Christ at His second coming, as described in <a href="/revelation/1-7.htm">Revelation 1:7</a>.<p><b>For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.</b><br>This phrase underscores the certainty and authority of God's promises. In the biblical context, when God speaks, His words are powerful and unchangeable, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>, where God's word accomplishes what He desires. This assurance is rooted in the character of God, who is faithful and true. The phrase also reflects the prophetic tradition, where the prophets served as God's mouthpieces, delivering His messages with divine authority. This assurance of fulfillment is a comfort to believers, affirming that God's plans will come to pass.<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 that bears his name.
