Isaiah 28:14-22
God lays a cornerstone in Zion
.
This is Isaiah writing about the situation in Jerusalem. Remember, Isaiah, along with many of the other prophets, railed against injustice in society and warned that destruction will follow if the leaders of the nation continue to pursue their wicked way. God however, he tells them, will lay a foundation, a cornerstone for a new creation to be built: a new community. It is a message of great hope, foretelling of the coming of Christ.
