Read Isaiah 40.
Many commentators divide the book of Isaiah at this point. The calling for the prophet to cry a word of comfort to God’s people is appropriate for the prophecies that would follow. Even though there would be prophecies of afflictions, there would also be prophecies of the comfort that will be found in the Redeemer. In the familiar words of much of this chapter we find such comfort. When we come to the last verse, we can rest in comfort that that Redeemer will enable us to enjoy the benefits of the spiritual victory that will be ours in heaven.
