The third part of the book of Isaiah begins with a description of the conditions of true spirituality. The masks and the appearances are not pleasing to the Lord, the cult of the Lord adds Isaiah to us, is not a respecter of persons. As an anticipation of the message of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah explains that the house of the Lord is a house for all nations.
The people of Israel had sinned, but not all was lost, the return from exile in Babylon was an opportunity to restart everything, the king of the Persians and Medes had shown great benevolence towards all the conquered peoples. The hope of a better future is what encourages people to continue, and the promises made by the Lord had be manifested in the holy land if the people remained faithful to the pact made with the wise God through the intercession of Moses: "Walk in obedience to all that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess" Deuteronomy 5:33.
God loves justice and does not forget the men who fear the Lord with all their hearts and proceed with righteousness in all the acts of their lives.
In this way the prophet Isaiah explains this truth in his oracle:
"This is what the LORD says:
´Maintain justice
and do what is right,
for my salvation is close at hand
and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
Blessed is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil´" Isaiah 56:1-2.
The oracle of Isaiah is a universal call to all men of good will, for Isaiah all nations must recognize the true God, the city of Jerusalem was to be rebuilt along with its temple:
"Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations" Isaiah 56:7.
This oracle from Isaiah teaches us that when men fear God (constancy, firmness, devotion) and live in peace with their neighbor through righteousness, God approaches men and blesses them.
