Notes

Isaiah 44:1–5

The promise of salvation gave Israel a future. Even though the people had sinned, God would still use them to bless the next generation (Isaiah 44:3).

The past had been dark because of their sin (see Isaiah 43:22–28). But the future would be different. God would begin a new time of blessing. His Spirit would change the people and make this new beginning possible.
