Revlation : Isaiah
Isaiah is a call to repentance. Only through repentance can we stand in the presence of God.
This call was not heard, and as a result, the Israelites were destroyed as a nation and sent into exile in Babylon.
Later their is a prophecy of restoration. Yet how can a dead nation come to life? How can a scattered and defeated nation be restored? How can sin be atoned for? How can God be just without destroying us?
And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.

Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things this is known in all the earth.

Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
