Summary/Abstract: The book of Isaiah reveals a profound theological vision of light as a symbol of divine revelation, truth, and salvation. Central to Isaiah’s message is the portrayal of the Messiah as the “light of the nations”, a radiant presence that dispels darkness and brings spiritual enlightenment to humanity. This light embodies God's eternal covenant, illuminating the path of redemption and uniting all people in worship and justice. Isaiah uses vivid imagery to emphasise the transformative power of divine light, which overcomes chaos, sin, and despair, offering hope and restoration to a broken world. This study explores the theological significance of light in Isaiah's prophecy, focusing on its role as a unifying and life-giving force that reveals God's glory and leads all nations into His everlasting kingdom.
