Dr. Ron Allen, author and Hebrew scholar, says, “Passover is the fulcrum of the Old Testament as the Resurrection is the apex of the New Testament. For thousands of years, God described Himself in relationship to the exodus of the Jewish people from Egypt.
We don’t know from the context of Isaiah’s words what was the danger Israel was facing. Regardless, her desperate cry reminds God of His faithfulness in the past and His promise for the future.
לא ניתן לדעת מדבריו הבאים של ישעיהו מה הייתה הסכנה שעמדה בפני עם ישראל. אולי זעקתו הנואשת הזכירה לאלוהים את נאמנותו בעבר והבטחותיו לעתיד

We don’t know from the context of Isaiah’s words what was the danger Israel was facing. Regardless, her desperate cry reminds God of His faithfulness in the past and His promise for the future.
We are seeing the fulfillment of this prophesy increasingly every year. There is a correlation to their return and their salvation. But there are still millions of Jews that have yet to come “home.”
God desires that “all Israel will be saved.” His promises seem to be contradictory, but reveals His patience, grace and mercy. He promises that Israel will be saved when they return to the land, but also that the Jews will be saved outside the land! Regardless, the people will return and be saved!
Today there are almost as many Jewish people living outside the land of Israel as in the land. But God has promised there will be a day when He will bring them back to serve and worship Him in righteousness and truth.
