Isaiah 52:7
French (La Bible expliquée)
Qu'il est beau de voir venir, Le temps des lamentations a pris fin et la libération d'Israël approche! Une allégresse immense répond à cette annonce. Le prophète dirige les regards sur Dieu qu'il présente comme le roi. Avec l'image du berger (40.9-11), la figure du roi était caractéristique pour parler de Dieu. On fête le roi vainqueur qui entre en triomphe dans sa ville et monte sur le trône. La majesté de Dieu ne peut être séparée de sa bonté: Dieu, le roi, a pitié de son peuple, il le réconforte. Le retour des exilés et le rétablissement de Jérusalem sont identifiés au retour de Dieu. Il est maintenant évident aux yeux de tous que le Dieu d'Israël est Seigneur. Le temps de l'épreuve – quand la majesté de Dieu était cachée – est passé. Pour les exilés, le temps de la joie peut commencer! franchissant les montagnes, un porteur de bonne nouvelle! Il annonce la paix, le bonheur et le salut. Et il te dit, Jérusalem: « Ton Dieu est roi. »
