Joe: Alright, so we have a Bible expert on the show and we're talking about Isaiah 40. What's the story here?

Bible Expert: This is an incredibly important chapter in the book of Isaiah. It's a prophecy of comfort and hope for the Israelites, who were facing a period of exile and suffering. It begins by telling them that God will come to save them and that he will bring a message of comfort.

Joe: Wow, that's pretty amazing.

Joe: So, what's the point of the chapter then?

Bible Expert: The main point of the chapter is to remind the Israelites that God is in control, despite their current circumstances. It's also a reminder to trust in God and to take hope from his promises.
