The LORD
In the Hebrew text, "The LORD" is represented by the Tetragrammaton YHWH, which is the most sacred name of God in the Hebrew Bible. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenantal relationship with Israel. In a conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the personal and direct communication between God and His prophets, emphasizing His sovereignty and faithfulness. The use of "The LORD" here reminds us of God's unchanging nature and His ultimate authority over all creation.

spoke
The Hebrew word for "spoke" is דִּבֶּר (dibber), which implies a direct and intentional communication. This is not merely a casual conversation but a divine revelation. In the context of Isaiah, it underscores the role of the prophet as a mouthpiece for God, conveying messages that are vital for the people of Israel. This word assures us that God is not silent; He actively communicates His will and guidance to His people, often through chosen individuals.

to me
The phrase "to me" indicates the personal nature of God's communication with Isaiah. It underscores the intimate relationship between God and His prophets. Isaiah, as a prophet, is not just a passive recipient but an active participant in God's plan. This personal address also serves as a reminder that God knows each of us individually and desires to communicate His will to us personally. It encourages believers to seek a personal relationship with God, where they can hear His voice and understand His guidance.

further
The word "further" suggests that this is a continuation of a previous message or revelation. It implies that God's communication is ongoing and progressive. In the context of Isaiah, it indicates that God is providing additional insight or instruction, building upon what has already been revealed. This highlights the dynamic nature of God's revelation, where He continues to speak and guide His people according to their needs and circumstances. For believers, it serves as a reminder to remain open and attentive to God's ongoing communication in their lives, understanding that His guidance is continuous and ever-relevant.

Verses 5-10. - THE FLOOD OF ASSYRIAN INVASION WILL PASS FROM SYRIA AND SAMARIA INTO JUDAEA, BUT WILL THERE BE ARRESTED. Syria and Samaria were barriers, breakwaters, so placed as to stem the tide of invasion, and be a defense to Judaea against Assyrian attack. When once they were overwhelmed, the waters would have free course, and the submersion of Judaea was certain. It might be delayed by the Divine favor, and would be, so long as the people, or even a remnant of them, remained faithful, but only through the might of the name Immanuel, "God with us."
