There are many prophecies about Jerusalem and the redemption. This one is from Isaiah and was turned into a stunning song.
Prophecy from Isaiah Turned into Beautiful Song
It is sometimes hard to feel that we want the final redemption to come. We get caught up in our own lives. Especially when things are going smoothly, we forget that we live in exile. We live in times of suffering and pain. Yes, things do not always feel bad. But we must remember to pray for the final redemption. We must remember to pray to G-d to return us to Him and to bring complete peace in the world. Jewish musicians can help us refocus our thoughts. The words of this beautiful song by Ari Goldwag are from Isaiah.
It is sadly easier to pray for the redemption and for Mashiach (Messiah) to come when something bad happens to us, to the Jewish people as a whole, or to the entire world. But let’s keep those prayers coming even when life feels smooth.
A song like this can get us in the proper mindset. The words are from Isaiah 27:13. The translation is, “And it will be on that day, a great Shofar will be blown; and the lost ones in Assyria will come, and those pushed aside in the land of Egypt; and they will bow down to Hashem on the Holy Mountain in Jerusalem.”
Let the words and the music enter your soul. Let it remind us that G-d will redeem us. He promised us. We have to keep praying, keep following G-d’s ways, and keep remembering that G-d is in control. Everything goes according to His plan. Keep having faith.
