Study Note
The divine declaration 'in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee' — and its application to the Servant's mission to restore Israel and be 'a covenant of the people' — is directly cited by Paul in 2 Corinthians 6:2: 'behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.' The phrase 'a covenant of the people' (berit am) is one of Isaiah's most condensed christological designations, identifying the Servant not merely as the covenant's messenger but as its embodiment. The second part of the verse — 'to restore the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages' — extends the Servant's mission from ethnic restoration to cosmic new-creation, anticipating the global scope of 49:6 ('a light to the nations'). The verse anchors Christian soteriology's language of 'the day of salvation.'
