[:en]Thoughts from Isaiah 52[:]

[:en]God was telling His people to wake up and rise up because He was going to forgive them and bring them home. (vs. 1-6).  He wanted them to bring the good news and proclaim salvation of the Lord to the world (vs. 7-10).  They were to purify themselves and carry the holy vessels back to Zion (vs. 11-12).  For the Servant will be lifted up and highly exalted among all nations.[:]
