Read Isa. 56:1-12
The next 10 chapters are explaining the details of the Millenial kingdom that Jesus is going to set up in the last of days. In the first two verses the people are being encouraged to live righteously. He is speaking of his coming salvation and specifically to the Gentiles and the eunuchs. The Gentiles and the unuchs represent the non-Jews and the servants. In Mosaic law they were not allowed to worship with the Jews but not so in the New Testament. In verse 5 they are given a place in heaven that is better than the Jews. Thoses that loved the Lord, served him and kept his Word, God is going to exalt them and bring them to exalted places in his kingdom. They will be able to enter into God's temple and worship the Lord. To those who chose not to worship the Lord, he will gather to be devoured by the beasts of the world. The wicked leaders that caused Israel to sin are called blind watchmen. They were only after fame and power but they will be judged.
Lord, your judgments are right and perfect.
