Context of Isaiah 52:6
4The Almighty Lord says, ‘Long ago, my people went to live for some time in Egypt. At a later time, Assyria's army was cruel to them. 5But now, what is happening? An enemy has taken my people away as slaves, for no good reason. Their leaders boast loudly, and they insult me all the time. So I will cause my people to know my name. When all this happens, they will know that I am the God who speaks to them. I tell them that I am with them.’ 7Somebody is coming across the mountains to bring good news to us! It is a beautiful thing to see him run towards us! He has come to tell us that there will be peace, because God will save our city. He says to Zion, ‘Your God rules as king!’ 8Listen! The guards on the city's walls are shouting! They all shout together with joy! They can see for themselves that the Lord is returning to Zion.
