In passages where idolatry is especially being dealt with, like Isaiah 43 and 44, God’s self-description shows up a lot.
Like the set of titles of a great king.
And “Who is making this proclamation?” may be the question the hearers really need answered.
Secondly, the descriptions of what the effect of God’s redemption and transformation would/will be on the land is kind of wonderful.
And lastly, Isaiah 58:9 hit me with the idea that maybe Isaiah’s ministry was especially a ministry of proclaiming God’s immanence.
Three things really jumped out.
