In Isaiah 46 - 48, we read about
Israel's conflict with Babylon and God's verdict on Babylon. We also
have the precious promise which God gave to His people: "Our Defender is
the Holy One of Israel" (Isaiah 47:4). Along with the divine promise,
there is also the divine call to obedience. God sees that His redeemed
people are not living in obedience to Him. He calls them back to a life
of honesty and sincerity. He is calling them to walk in His perfect way:
I am the Lord your God. I teach you what is best for you. I lead you
where you should go" (Isaiah 48:17). He promises to bless them, if they
will follow His leading: "If only you had listened to My commands! Your
peace would be like a river that never runs dry. Your righteousness
would be like waves on the sea" (Isaiah 48:18).
