Notes

God assures that no nation can defeat his people. The Lord promises to protect them, just as he promised Abraham (Genesis 12:3; see Isaiah 49:25).

This describes a vision of Jerusalem renewed as a city under God's protection, a place of peace and righteousness (see Isaiah 59:21–60:22). This section provides the background for John's vision of the new Jerusalem (Revelation 21:10–21).

Salvation flows from the vindication of the suffering servant. The promises mentioned here go beyond the return from Babylonian exile and apply to the coming of Jesus Christ, the extension of the kingdom to the church, the benefits of the second coming of Jesus Christ as the bridegroom of the church, and the new Jerusalem.

This is an invitation to participate in the restoration to God’s favor made possible through the ministry of the promised servant.
