Feb 27 – Honor Galilee - Isaiah 9:1-5
Isaiah has a positive message here. He tells the inhabitant of Israel that there will no more doom and gloom for those who has distressed, oppressed, or possessed. In the past they were humbled and judged but, in the future, he will honor Galilee. It was the way to the coast. Jesus would live, work and minister in that part of the work. In fact, most of the work he did was in this location.
People who have been walking and living in darkness have seen a great light and this light is a new dawn. Jesus is that light and new dawn. The Lord has enlarged the nation and it is a great time of rejoicing. Isaiah uses to illustrations. Like people after a harvest has been collected or warrior dividing up the spoil. It will like the day that Gideon defeated the Midianites and broke their oppression. The garments of the enemy became fuel for the fire that warmed the victors. This is a direct prophecy about Jesus.
