Israel ended up in exile for breaking faith with the Covenant. It must have been a traumatic experience. They lost everything they lived for and were slaves in a foriegn land. Now they are returning home. Consider the joy of homecoming as a theme. Jerusalem is the image for Heaven as well. Remember there will be no tears or sorrow, only exulting in the abundant blessings.

Isaiah speaks of "Peace" flowing like a river. Where do we experience that "Peace" today? It is often what is missing in many lives.
