[1] {Comfort}
The first two verses of Isa. 40. give the key-note of the second part of
the prophecy of Isaiah. The great theme of this section is Jesus Christ
in His sufferings, and the glory that shall follow in the Davidic
kingdom. (See "Christ in O.T.," \\sufferings,\\)
# Ge 4:4 Heb 10:18
\\glory,\\
# 2Sa 7:8-15 Zec 12:8
Since Israel is to be regathered, converted, and made the centre of
the new social order when the kingdom is set up, this part of Isaiah
appropriately contains glowing prophecies concerning these events.
The full view of the redemptive sufferings of Christ (e.g. Isa. 53)
leads to the evangelic strain so prominent in this part of Isaiah. (e.g.
# Isa 44:22,23 55:1-3
The change in style, about which so much has been said, is no more

would not write of the sins and coming captivity of his people in the

redemption, blessing, and power. In
# Joh 12:37-44
quotations from Isa. 53. and 6. are both ascribed to Isaiah.
