Isaiah and the mercy of God: With everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you. Isaiah 54:8

Like the prophet Hosea, the prophet Isaiah in his second book referred to the nation of Israel as the beloved wife of God. God had made the Babylonian empire an instrument of his punishment, and Jerusalem had been devastated and many of its inhabitants deported to Mesopotamia, and in this situation, many oppressed had lost all hope.
That is why the prophet Isaiah, like a spiritual sentinel of the Lord, spoke of a redemption of Israel, probably under the reign of Cyrus the Great, because the Lord in his wisdom and mercy (gentleness, compassion) had not forgotten the wife of his youth, Israel. Isaiah showed in his writing a wise, perfect, and loving God, who does not forget his children, the covenant made with the prophet Moses was a covenant of unconditional love.
With this metaphor, the prophet Isaiah described Israel, the beloved of the Lord:
"´For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected,´ says your God" Isaiah 54:5-6.
But the prophet Isaiah continued, and showed not a God subjected to anger or the passions that divide the mind, but rather a God moved by compassion and empathy, and by the most perfect thing that exists in creation:
"´In a surge of anger
I hid my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness
I will have compassion on you,´
says the LORD your Redeemer" Isaiah 54:8.
With these brief texts, Isaiah showed us the importance of the love without passion, the spiritual love (Agape), and how this form of love is related to hope and mercy because God is faithful, and so with wisdom Isaiah wrote:
"Yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed" Isaiah 54:10.
