The prophet tells of a time in our future, when the nation of Judah will be reestablished in the land of Israel.&nbsp; In the context of the time, Judah had yet to be defeated by, and exiled to Babylon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the portion above, Isaiah looks forward to that day when Judah will be reestablished in a secure land.&nbsp; Who will provide security?&nbsp; God will!&nbsp; The city gates will be opened so &#8220;that the righteous nation may enter, the one that remains faithful.&#8221;&nbsp; (I&#8217;m not sure, but this sounds to me like the New Jerusalem!)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/QU_zxv8XWYOUAlKdUaCgCVsNDdekVYiAeJ8cmO5WM7K-KVoGoLZseQCiqp1jrKas-PYxR74DVv8q5mpJbJDScraKp5y0FPqoRI14GsvpOtXWnyAX7i7-EpA388wUafNs06WMKTL5POoZFw5pE-NW_oRrbtcl0iix2--wwo6bwqnZm9D4E3dSL3293qZyIE6pcQ=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/imageproxy.youversionapi.com\/640x640\/https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static-youversionapi-com\/images\/base\/84654\/1280x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Isaiah 26:3 image.\u00a0 Composed by Claudia Hoyes.\u00a0 Found at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/my.bible.com\/bible\/100\/ISA.26.3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/my.bible.com\/bible\/100\/ISA.26.3<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the prophet speaks of peace, and how to achieve it:&nbsp;
