Isaiah 54:1-3.
"Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not laboured with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman," says the LORD.
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited."
I shall be interested in answers to three questions concerning this whole chapter (not just the verses I've written out):-
1. Who is the woman addressed by the prophet, or rather, by the Lord?
2. What is the nature of the promises made to her?
3. To what time did the Spirit of Christ point (1Peter 1:11 )?
Grace & Peace,
Martin
