Notes

Isaiah 54:9

The exile was similar in both drama and trauma to the flood in the time of Noah. In both instances, people sinned grievously against the Lord, but the Lord renewed his commitment to creation (after Noah’s flood) and to his people (after the exile).

Isaiah 54:1–17

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.

Isaiah 54:1–55:13

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