• The significance of this may have been lost on Old Testament readers, but the Apostle Paul seized upon it in 2 Corinthians 6:2. The rejection of the Messiah, foretold in verse 7, would result in His death, and He would be “heard” and “helped” by resurrection from the dead, and this was to inaugurate the “acceptable time” and the “day of salvation”. (“Isaiah 49:5-51:16” by F.B. Hole)
• In the latter part of verse 8, and onwards to the end of verse 13, the prophecy carries us into the age to come. The once-rejected Messiah is to be “a covenant of the people”, for they will not enter into blessing on the basis of the covenant of law. (“Isaiah 49:5-51:16” by F.B. Hole)
