Joe: Alright, so what do you make of Isaiah 31?
Bible Expert: Well, this is a warning from the Lord to the people of Israel. They are being told not to rely on their allies in Egypt for help, but to instead trust in God. He will be their shield and their protector, and He will deliver them from their enemies.
Joe: Wow, that's really interesting. So why should they trust in God?
Bible Expert: Because the Lord is mighty and powerful. He is a warrior who will fight for His people. He is also just and merciful, and He will not abandon His people when they are in need.
Joe: Alright, can you tell us a bit about the imagery in this chapter?
Bible Expert: Sure. The Lord is described as an eagle that will swoop down and protect His people from their enemies. He is also described as a strong and mighty warrior who will fight for them and bring them victory.
Joe: Wow, that sounds awesome! Jamie, can you Google the eagle imagery and see what else it might mean?
Jamie: Sure thing Joe! (Googles)
Bible Expert: In addition, the Lord promises to bring comfort and peace to His people. He will protect them from their enemies and restore their fortunes.
Joe: That's really cool. So, what else can we learn from Isaiah 31?
Bible Expert: We can learn that the Lord is faithful and just, and He will never abandon His people. He is a warrior who will fight for them and a shield who will protect them. We can also learn that those who trust in Him and obey His commands will be blessed with peace and comfort.
