God is great and mighty. God is a gentle, comforting shepherd. God comes in might and strength. He is not weak to be held back.
This is a prophecy of the future for the people who will be in exile. A promise of hope.
Verse 1-2: God is speaking to his people through Isaiah. Comfort, comfort, consolation. God is speaking in tenderness to his people. (What is comfort? What is consolation? Christ; :
Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.) They have been in exile for a long time and are away from home. Tell my people that her hardship, her warfare has ended, she has been pardoned of sin. She did not earn her pardon, it was freely given by grace. [The Lord's people have recieved double for their sins.??]
Verse 3-5. A voice cries (; ; ; ), In the wilderness prepare THE way of the Lord, Make straight the desert highway for our God. Every valley will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low. The uneven ground will be made level and the rough places a plain. (This was a preparation, every obstacle was removed to make ready the coming of the Lord. At the perfect time, the Lord would come. It was not an accident that Jesus was made incarnate at the time that he was. God had prepared the way, everything was just as he desired.) And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (The glory of the Lord will be seen in Jesus, the son of God. And all flesh, all men will be saved through him, for he said it, it will happen.)

(It is this word that saves, It is the through the word of God that we have been born again, this word is the Gospel. (.)
since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; for “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord remains forever.” And this word is the good news that was preached to you.
