“and great will be your children’s peace” [Isaiah 54:13(NIV)]

“and great will be your children’s peace”. This chapter in the prophecy of Isaiah describes the future glory of Zion, the city of God. Those journeying there should not be afraid – they will not suffer shame. They should not fear disgrace and will not be humiliated.
It is the Holy One of Israel who is their Redeemer, the Creator of all things, the Almighty One whose word is pledged for you. With everlasting kindness He will have compassion on them and His love for them be unfailing.
The city will be built with stones of turquoise, its battlements will be rubies, its gates sparkling pearls and its walls precious stones. Best of all, their sons will be taught in the Lord and great will be their children’s peace. Comforting indeed in a world of strife.
