In Context

8Adonai says, “In an acceptable time I have answered you, 2 and in a day of yishu'ah ·salvation· I have helped you. + 49:8. Quoted in 2 Cor 6:2 1 + 49:8 b MP: “Preserved you as a covenant for the people” - the restoring the land and distributing inheritance was anticipated at Messiah’s coming (see in Luke 24:21 and Acts 1:6). The national-political redemption is yet to come at the demise of the anti-Messiah and the establishment of Messiah’s eternal kingdom. (Rev 19:11-21 is describing Ezekiel ch 38-39 and Daniel ch 11). Judaism in the days of Yeshua expected political redemption with the Messiah (Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6). (Also referenced: Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6; 2 Cor 6:2; Rev 19:11-21+; Ezekiel ch 38-39 and Daniel ch 11). (Matt 26:28) I will preserve you, and give you for a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· of the people, 2 to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage: 1

10They shall not hunger nor thirst; 2 neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: + 49:10. Quoted in Rev 7:16 2 for he who has racham ·merciful love· towards them will lead them. 2 He will guide them by springs of water. + 49:10. Quoted in Rev 7:17 1
