Pastors John Mury and Dave Swaim discuss Isaiah 40:1-8: There is a saying that the preacher's task is "to comfort the afflicted, and to afflict the comfortable." Israel is now captive in Babylon and it is time for God's comfort, and what a promise of comfort it is! Isaiah declares not only will God restore them, but that God will show up! The glory of the Lord will be seen, not just by them, but by all humanity."
