Bible Note: jbw, Very good answer from Scribe. “This whole chapter is one to meditate on often. It is an example of the type of passages in the prophets that are the foundation for the scriptures in the New Testament. This prophecy is all about the conversion of the Gentiles through the Man Child that would be born in Israel, the relationship of Jerusalem to the church, both in it’s origins and it’s heritage, and the coming of judgment upon those that rejected the Lord, with the glorification of the church before their eyes. This chapter covers big picture thinking concerning the plan of God from the birth of Christ, the beginning of the church which came about as it were in a day with Pentecost and the future creation of a new heaven and earth. The beginning of the chapter is all about how that God is not pleased with the legal works of the Jew but is seeking the humble repentant heart of faith instead, and will accept such a heart whether found in Jew or Gentile.” I think that Isaiah 54 might be a companion to this chapter to meditate on. What I like about these kinds of scripture is how they add enormous credibility to the scriptures against the skeptics that try to say that the scriptures were made up by men. While the Jews were hostile towards the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, they had no reason to embed the Gospel of “salvation to the Gentiles” throughout the Hebrew scriptures. So the presence of "hostile witnesses" is very important to tying the old testament together with the new testament. Therefore, the only explaination is that the entire Christian bible of 66 books, written by over 40 secretaries over a time span of over 1400 years, was motivated not by men, but by the single mind of God!
