3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it (Isaiah 40:3-5).
These verses are a prophecy of coming of a forerunner (John the Baptist) and coming of Christ. The prophecy was written nearly 700 hundred years before Christ. The impact of Christ on human history is immeasurable. God through Christ has changed everything-valleys exalted, crooked made straight. The entire frame of reference for mankind shifted as a result of the restoration of the relationship of God to Man through Christ. This is good news to the Glory of God.
