"Cry Out Joyfully in Unison"! Chapter Thirteen
LIBERATION! Can there be a more joyful prospect for a captive people? Since a major theme in the book of Isaiah is liberation and restoration, it is not surprising that aside from the Psalms, this Bible book contains more expressions of joy than any other. Isaiah chapter 52 especially gives reason for God's people to rejoice. Its prophetic words are fulfilled upon Jerusalem in 537 B.C.E. And they have a greater fulfillment involving "Jerusalem above," Jehovah's heavenly organization of spirit creatures, which is sometimes described as a mother and a wife. -Galatians 4:26; Revelation 12:1.
Next time: "Put On Your Strength, O Zion!"
From the Book Isaiah's Prophecy Light for all Mankind, Volume II, 2001
