Isaiah chapter 8 concludes with darkness and despair. However, things change in chapter 9 when the prophet says that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. “The land of Zebulun and Naphtali in Galilee will be filled with glory. The people who walk in darkness there will see a great light.”
In his gospel, Matthew records Jesus’ ministry in Galilee. Jesus begins his ministry, calls his disciples, and performs miracles in Galilee. Jesus enters the darkness and fills the land with God’s glory.
