Since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. Isaiah 43: 4
This scripture has many implications, as does most.
Almost every scripture has the group God is speaking to, here it is the Jews, those who will come after, the church age, and then the greater implication, what God is doing with salvation.
The Jews as a Whole: God is telling the Jews they will be redeemed, reclaimed. For they were about to go into exile but God is letting them know how special they are to Him so they will believe that He will bring them back and save them. For the timeline to bring God’s chosen people into the fold of the Messiah is written in Genesis through the story of Joseph. They will come to believe. He will completely redeem all His Jews, that God used to bless all of creation through being the keepers of the one true God and bringing the Messiah into the world through their line, the first witnesses of God’s existence and goodness, those who were led into the promised land and lands over and over again, God removing other people and nations, for them, giving them favor.
Christians/Individual Believers: God is telling us who believe, we who have been redeemed, reclaimed already through Jesus Christ— the only Savior— that He loves us. For we believe in Him and trusted Him, which is love to God. That He is going to bring blessings upon us, bringing our families and being witnesses to all those to come to Christ in this age and for those to come after us. That We get to be the hands of feet of Jesus leading people to Him, even nations to be believe and be saved for all eternity and that our lives are a testimony to those around us.
God foretelling about Jesus/Yeshua-The Messiah. This passage is also about Jesus. God loves His Son Jesus, Yeshua, the Savior of All mankind, His precious and honored Son who sits at His right hand. God gave Him up, in exchange for the whole world, every nation, every generation that is willing to believe. His life and then His sacrifice on the cross, was so that all people might be saved, those who had already been passed, those that were living at the time and for all of us that would come to believe. Nations were given in exchange for Jesus’s blood. He is the Lord, He is the Savior, Only He can save and deliver. And He is much loved by God.
But EVERY single scripture, and word is written for each one of us too, that we would believe, that each one of us would see the love of our Father in every word, in every page and be encouraged. Since we are honored and precious in His sight. For we are His kiddos, the Ancient of Days little toddlers’ still learning to walk in His ways, no matter how old we get. He loves us. And He gives nations in exchange us, meaning He fights for us, against the evil of this fallen world. He chose us, to save us, from the kingdom of darkness, the nations of evil and from those who serve the enemy. He did all this by sending us our Warrior, our Salvation, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, Yeshua, who fought the nations of evil for us to save us.
May we know that we know that we know, that anyone who chooses to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, will be very much loved by God, and be precious and honored in His sight too.
