The term "Lord GOD" reflects the Hebrew "Adonai Yahweh," indicating a personal and covenantal relationship. This assurance of help is a recurring theme in Isaiah, where God is portrayed as the protector and sustainer of His people (<a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>). The speaker's confidence in divine help prefigures Christ's reliance on the Father during His earthly ministry (<a href="/john/5-19.htm">John 5:19</a>).<p><b>I have not been disgraced</b><br>The concept of disgrace in the ancient Near Eastern context often involved public shame and loss of honor. Here, the speaker's confidence in God's help ensures that he maintains his dignity and honor. This reflects the biblical principle that those who trust in God will not be put to shame (<a href="/psalms/25-3.htm">Psalm 25:3</a>). In the New Testament, Jesus, despite facing humiliation, was ultimately vindicated through His resurrection (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).<p><b>therefore I have set My face like flint</b><br>Flint is a hard, unyielding stone, symbolizing determination and resoluteness. This phrase indicates the speaker's unwavering commitment to his mission, despite opposition. In <a href="/luke/9-51.htm">Luke 9:51</a>, Jesus "set His face" to go to Jerusalem, showing His determination to fulfill His redemptive work. This imagery underscores the prophetic nature of Isaiah's words, pointing to the Messiah's steadfastness.<p><b>and I know that I will not be put to shame</b><br>The assurance of not being put to shame is rooted in the speaker's trust in God's faithfulness. This confidence is echoed in <a href="/romans/10-11.htm">Romans 10:11</a>, where Paul assures believers that those who trust in Christ will not be ashamed. The prophetic voice in Isaiah anticipates the ultimate vindication of the Messiah, who, despite suffering, is exalted and honored by God (<a href="/isaiah/52-13.htm">Isaiah 52:13</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His sovereignty and faithfulness to His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_servant.htm">The Servant</a></b><br>Often interpreted as the Messiah, this figure is central to the "Servant Songs" in Isaiah, representing obedience and trust in God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who conveyed God's messages to the people of Judah, including prophecies about the coming Messiah.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, to whom Isaiah primarily prophesied, facing threats from surrounding nations.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_oppressors.htm">The Oppressors</a></b><br>Those who oppose the Servant, representing both historical adversaries and spiritual opposition.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_assistance.htm">Divine Assistance</a></b><br>Trust in God's help is crucial.
