Beauty From Ashes
One of the themes in the Old Testament prophets is that God will rescue his people from their exile. God is clear that he sees his people's suffering and that he won't let it continue forever. This is all part of his bringing the kingdom of God to earth. Isaiah 61: 1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
