2). Victor Buksbazen, The Prophet isaiah: Instead of bringing dishonor and disgrace upon God’s name about which Ezekiel lamented (Ezekiel 36:17-20), Israel will now become God’s masterpiece. The crown and royal diadem symbolize royal and high-priestly dignity. The Hebrew word “tsnuf” or “mitsnephet” is the head-dress of the high priest (Exodus 28:4 and of the king (Ezekiel 21:26). Out of her lowly beginning in history the LORD is shaping a kingdom of priests.
