📚 Historical Context
Isaiah was prophesying during a time of political turmoil in Judah, around 740-680 BC, when the nation faced threats from Assyria and other enemies. This verse appears in a section describing both God's judgment on rebellious nations and His ultimate restoration of His people. The imagery of water flowing from mountains was particularly meaningful in the arid Middle East, where water represented life, blessing, and God's provision.
