the Exile.
The first thirty-nine
chapters of Isaiah focus on the prophet’s messages to the people of
Judah and its capital Jerusalem from about 742 B.C. to sometime shortly after
701 B.C. Isaiah warns of the LORD judgment against his people, but he also
provides some words of hope.
Isaiah, Part 11 - Good
news for God’s people in Exile.
In chapter 40-55, the prophet delivers a message of comfort
and hope to God’s people who were at that time living in exile in Babylonia.
The LORD would use King Cyrus of Persia to defeat at Babylonians (41:2-4). Cyrus
would allow the people of Judah to return home to rebuild Jerusalem and its
temple (44, 28, 45, and 13). This section also includes the passage known as
the servant songs.
