His coming will straighten everything, with flowery language that describes mountains and hills made low, valleys filling in, and rough places made smooth. In all this, the world will see God's glory.
St. John the Baptist fulfilled the prophecy from Isaiah as a voice speaking in the wilderness.
And his message, in light of how the world would alter its state to make ready for God's arrival, so he called the people gathered before him, and us today, to make ourselves ready for the Mighty One to come.
May we join in repentance, embracing the opportunity God gives us to set ourselves right, clearing ourselves of spot and blemish, made possible because of the Good News that Jesus Christ has come to save. So we can now be made right before our God Who is faithful in fulfilling His promises, unfolding a plan to bring new heavens and a new earth.
