Notes
husband … Maker: The Lord committed to the abandoned woman (his people in exile) as her maker (Isaiah 44:24) and husband (see also Isaiah 62:4–5; Hosea 2:19–20).
The Redeemer transforms misery into freedom and fulfillment (see also Isaiah 41:14).
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.
