V.1-4, 13 Isaiah writes down the name of King Cyrus, who would be a great Gentile king of the future. We can imagine the surprise about 175 years later when they brought the writings of Isaiah to this king of Persia and showed him that their God had told that he would live! Even telling his name! Read about it in Ezra 1. No wonder he wanted to help the Jews rebuild their city of Jerusalem.
V.5-25 Beautiful words of God. Read them carefully. Notice part of verse 21 “a just God and a Savior.” Isn’t that grand! God is fair and just. But since that was written, the Son of God has come to earth. He is the Savior.
V.22 Marvelous beyond words. And yet people will not come to Him. They prefer to go on in their misery and sorrow, and die unsaved.
