Isaiah 42b - God's Labor Pains

The fulfillment of Isaiah's mission comes full circle. It was his job to teach the Jewish people, to show them the path, despite the fact that they would make themselves blind and deaf to his message. Now God will finally bring them along the path of redemption and show them the way. But not without a lot of suffering and screaming, like a baby born in pain and screaming, so will it be with the ultimate redemption.
