Isaiah 40:1 Comfort you, comfort you my people, said your God. The beginning of the good tidings is Israel s pardon; yet it seems not to be the people's return to Palestine which is announced in consequence of this, so much as their God's return to them. "Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight a highway for our God. Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come." (Prof. G. A. Smith, D. D.)
