About the Cover: Isaiah saw the dark clouds of judgment ruling in to hangover Judah in exile. But he also saw the promises of the Lord's coming mercy and victory. Indeed, the Lord has come. Though His first coming was humble, by faith we see that heaven has been open to all who trust in the crucified and risen Lord. He continues to come by Word and Sacrament. He will come again at the glorious completion of the Lord's plan for the world on the Last Day.
