TSK · Isaiah 40:5

His glorious name deserves praise forevermore! May his majestic splendor fill the whole earth! We agree! We agree!

The sky declares his justice, and all the nations see his splendor.

when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.

They called out to one another,“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies! His majestic splendor fills the entire earth!”

You have made the nation larger, O LORD, you have made the nation larger and revealed your splendor, you have extended all the borders of the land.

Let it richly bloom; let it rejoice and shout with delight! It is given the grandeur of Lebanon, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the grandeur of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

The LORD reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations; the entire earth sees our God deliver.

Zion’s Future Splendor“Arise! Shine! For your light arrives! The splendor of the LORD shines on you!

“I hate their deeds and thoughts! So I am coming to gather all the nations and ethnic groups; they will come and witness my splendor.

I said,“Who is wise enough to understand why this has happened? Who has a word from the LORD that can explain it? Why does the land lie in ruins? Why is it as scorched as a desert through which no one travels?”

An Outpouring of the Spirit(3:1) After all of this I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your elderly will have prophetic dreams; your young men will see visions.

For recognition of the LORD’s sovereign majesty will fill the earth just as the waters fill up the sea.

But the angel said to them,“Do not be afraid! Listen carefully, for I proclaim to you good news that brings great joy to all the people:

and all humanity will see the salvation of God.’”

Isaiah said these things because he saw Christ’s glory, and spoke about him.

‘And in the last days it will be,’ God says,‘that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

For God, who said“Let light shine out of darkness,” is the one who shined in our hearts to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb.
