📚 Historical Context
This prophecy was given to the Israelites during their exile in Babylon, when they had lost their homeland and many of their people. God was promising through Isaiah that not only would they return to their land, but their population would grow so much that the restored Jerusalem would actually become too small to contain everyone.
