Many point to or dismiss the prophecy “a land can be born in a day” as having anything to do with the modern state of Israel. We explore how the book of Isaiah’s structure points to the real message of Zion, a people who know the difference between empty religion and trembling at God’s word. That message is wrapped in the mysterious prophecy that birth pangs follow this birth rather than precede it. Learn how God transforms corrupt worship, redefines Israel’s priesthood, and gathers the nations to Zion in a redemption that arrives like a “thief in the night.”
