📚 Historical Context
Isaiah spoke these words to the Jewish people during their exile in Babylon, around 586-538 BC. The prophet was offering hope to a nation that had lost their temple, their land, and felt abandoned by God. This vision of restoration looked forward to both their return from exile and an ultimate future when God would dwell perfectly with His people.
