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).
