Isa.40:1 "Comfort, comfort my people," says your God.
40:2 "Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh's hand double for all her sins."

Israel was a land of torment and trouble no comfort was found for them in the flesh, none! Yes, no one could stop the trouble not one leader, not anyone thinking lets add more religion and judge harder those that are sinner could stop the agitation of the people, why?
Because they were in captivity God had brought them into captivity for what?

Exodus 20:24 You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.

Psalms 29:11 Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness. I make peace, and create calamity. I am Yahweh, who does all these things.

Their sins against God the sacrifice for sins could not pay the price for their rebellious disobedience against God so trouble and unkindness was found everywhere in their lives with each other with other nations there was no peace. Yes, they had thought peace came from them, but they were learning the hard way, or would learn that God had brought them divine peace from heaven, which caused the nation and each other to live in harmony with the God of peace.

Isaiah 66:12 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck [of it]; you shall be borne on the side, and shall be dandled on the knees.

Jeremiah 23:17 They say continually to those who despise me, Yahweh has said, You shall have peace; and to everyone who walks in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come on you.

Captivity would teach them the truth as it had the nation before them that God is the almighty and it is His arm they must live by and not their own arm of flesh which brings all flesh, humans, into captivity one way or another. The flesh offers freedom, but it cannot give freedom without enslaving others; someone will suffer for the freedom of our flesh. This lesson is the lesson from the Garden of God with Adam and Eve, Spirit ruled there, and there was freedom and peace in everything Adam and Eve did, until flesh, was born from sin into our world!

Jeremiah 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.

Zechariah 8:10 For before those days there was no wages for man, nor any wages for an animal; neither was there any peace to him who went out or came in, because of the adversary. For I set all men everyone against his neighbor.

Man cannot live by bread alone without bring himself into captivity to sin and its corruption, no mountain of mankind left up will not decline into corruption when it is created by the will of our flesh. The complaints and cries for God's help failed his people in captivity, the righteous and the unrighteous all suffer the same loss of peace causing great turmoil among God's people from all sides they were under siege from within and without; sin is wicked causing lack of peace with God, but interpreter wrongly by flesh as an attacks from other flesh, when there is no comfort from God for the flesh it becomes ruthless with each other causing no peace for the wicked.

Zechariah 8:12 "For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

Luke 1:79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death; to guide our feet into the way of peace."

Romans 5:1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;

Those of the flesh could not remember long, like the Spirit, they remember only one minute, one day at a time forgetting God is long and he does not feel regret when he set a time and a place he will not alter his judgment for the complaints of those found in captivity for payment of sins.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Haggai 1:6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."

Ezekiel 29:19 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.

Jeremiah 25:11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

Jeremiah 25:12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says Yahweh, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.

This is the story of Isaiah chapter forty where flesh Vs. God the Spirit, the nation that walked after the flesh, and forgot the God of dynmatic power their forefather worship and served. They had forgot the captivity of former generations the deliverance from Egypt, the wandering in the wilderness, why? They had become a nation of flesh looking to flesh to save them, honoring the powerful among them, thinking Moses had delivered them instead of God raising up Moses as His deliver at his appointed times.

Genesis 9:11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

2 Chronicles 32:8 with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Yahweh our God to help us, and to fight our battles. The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Psalms 56:4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart fails, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Isaiah 9:20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:

Isaiah 66:23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, says Yahweh.

Revelation 17:16 The ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and will make her desolate, and will make her naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her utterly with fire.

Yes, like all flesh does, it can come no higher than looking to other flesh for deliverance, looking to the physical, looking to the wisdom of this world, looking to men of knowledge, but descending into more and more corruption until the entire nation becomes corrupt with people having no peace, but instead works of the flesh as they chose to act, anyway they so determine to act, like gods, having no respect for anything good, morally upright showing they are not gods, but beast with fleshly desires that must be fulfilled at the cost of hurting others.

Romans 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

1 Corinthians 10:6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Ephesians 2:3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Ephesians 4:19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

James 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.

Soon God will speak, not the message of the flesh, but the message of Spirit and truth, all flesh will see it, and all flesh will know how much loving kindness it actually has, and what mankind loving kindness has cost the human race? All controversy will end when Israel meets the God of Spirit and truth the hardest cases unresolved for centuries among the flesh will be made as nothing before the power of the King Jehovah, like a leveled mountain. But the question remains will the message of Spirit and truth bring comfort or turmoil to our flesh?

Psalms 65:7 who stills the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the turmoil of the nations.
