Isaiah 40:1-2 - Voluntary Shortsightedness and the Comfort of God

Buffalo City Church

Caleb Drahosh \\ In Isaiah 40-55, Israel has been carried off to exile in Babylon. They broke covenant with the Lord and God used the hand of their enemies to bring discipline upon them. But now that Jerusalem had been emptied, God speaks comfort to His people. True and lasting comfort can only come from God; peace and security may be temporarily lost, but the comfort of the Lord remains for His people because He is with them.
