Isaiah highlighted for me just how ugly sin really is. Througout Isaiah‚ we are shown a people who are so busy willingly chasing after the flashy lures of sin that they could not look up‚ to the goodness and glory of God. Sin blinded and and bound the people‚ and they refused to be made well. It can be hard to understand how Israel could be set so stubbornley in their rebellion.

Isaiah 40:12 states‚ “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span‚ enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure‚ and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?” This statement reflects a monotheist outlook as YHWH’s powers are deemed incomparable to any other. As he is the creator of all that exists both on earth and in heaven‚ he is the one and only true God. This made it into the final redaction of the Pentateuch as it supports monotheism
