Isaiah 54 - Introduction

Chapter 54 A New Dawn For God's People.

As a result of the work of the Servant there is to be a new dawn for God's people. He will see His seed and His portion will be given to the many. They are now addressed as a wife forsaken by her husband who is to be restored and will be exceedingly fruitful, having many children. This is not directed to Zion/Jerusalem who are not mentioned again in this section, but to faithful Israel as a whole, for the only identification is through the title ‘the Holy One of Israel' (Isaiah 54:5). This will result in God's covenant of peace, and His everlasting covenant love.
