Isaiah 52 · Grade 4

Your God Reigns!

Name Date

Read and Think

Isaiah 52 begins with a wake-up call: "Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem." Jerusalem should shake off the dust and loose the chains from her neck. God says, "You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money."

Picture watchmen on Jerusalem's walls. They see a runner coming over the hills. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”" The watchmen shout for joy. In the New Testament, Paul quotes this in Romans 10:15 about those who preach the gospel.

God tells his people to leave Babylon and be clean. "You shall not go out in haste" like the Exodus, for "Yahweh will go before you." Then what many call the fourth Servant Song begins: "Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high." Many would be shocked at how he suffered, but kings would "shut their mouths at him."
