In dark days of spiritual and moral decline, living without a true inner compass, the nation of Israel in which Isaiah lived was in a terrible state. But into that dark and difficult time for those who remained faithful to the LORD, He gave a message of hope through Isaiah. To them, a Son would be given who would bring about reform, through a different rule, a heavenly Kingdom. We now know that this Son to be born would be the Saviour of the world. No matter how dark our world becomes, we can be assured that the God who prepared the way for the First coming of His Son, will also prepare the way for His Second Coming. There is hope in the Son!
