How will Israel be brought through its school of suffering and be propelled toward its divine destiny as the vanguard of a new heaven and earth?

Barry Webb calls Isaiah the "Romans" of the Old Testament, where all the threads come together and the big picture of God's purposes for his people and for his world are most clearly set forth.
