Verse 1 speaks of Israel's beginning as a people who did not know God, but it still speaks to my heart that God is reaching beyond that. We see the promise of God reaching beyond Israel to all who turn to him. As the chapter continues those who trust in God will find that eventually, God is going to make all things right. God is going to create a new heaven and earth, as Revelation echoes. It will be a place of joy and fulfillment. Today we live in a world of disappointment and dreams that fade, but there is coming a day when that will change and we will be in a world that as CS Lewis says in The Last Battle, "now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read: which goes on forever: in which every chapter is better than the one before."
