In Isaiah Chapters 40 and 41 we have been exploring Who God Is. Here's what we know so far. God is Great! He delivered Israel; He is in control of world leaders; He is greater than idols. He provides. He protects. Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord.

Now, in Chapter 42, we learn more about God and His mysterious Trinity, specifically His Servant Jesus.

The Lord is our God; the Lord is One.

We now enter a new section of Isaiah. Most commentators distinguish two "halves" of the book.

With Assyria (God's enemies) vanquished in Chapter 31, we a righteous king and just princes rule.

(In Warren Wiersbe's Commentary on Isaiah, Be Comforted, he categorizes the next four chapters, Chapters 32-35, the four chapters that conclude the first section of Isaiah's prophesy, to be followed by an historical interlude and then the "consolation"/"new testament" portion of the book. Four future events divinely-inspired for God, His people, and the world.)
