📚 Historical Context
Isaiah was prophesying during a time when the Assyrian Empire was threatening and oppressing Israel and Judah. The 'burden' and 'yoke' refer to the heavy oppression of foreign rulers, particularly the Assyrians who had conquered much of the region. This prophecy offered hope that God would one day break the power of these oppressors and free His people.
