Analysis & Commentary

The stunning promise: 'But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.' The Hebrew 'olam' (everlasting, world without end) appears twice, emphasizing permanence. In contrast to idol-makers' temporary confidence followed by eternal shame, Israel's salvation endures forever.

Historical Context

This transcends physical return from exile to promise eternal salvation. The New Testament applies such promises to spiritual Israel, the church comprised of believing Jews and Gentiles.
