All throughout the book of Isiah God imparts to the prophet his heart for his people. The phrase "I will" is repeated throughout the book. God repeats his promise of leading and restoring his people back to him even through exile. In the midst of judgement, God imparts to Isiah to tell Israel of his plan to lead his back to him. In the last book of Isiah, God imparts to Isiah a new future for Israel. This new future will have a new heavens and new earth. Some people debate on what type of realized future state of Israel this will be or if it will be in an eternal state.
In the midst of judgement and exile, God imparts his holiness to his people. Also, in the midst of judgement God shows his power to his people. Through Isaiah, God shows he is sovereign over sin, judgement, oppression, and evil in this world. God shows to his people that he is sending a Messiah to restore them back to him. He has a future plan to lead them out of their sin and oppression.
