Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.

Isaiah 42:9 shows a new declare that takes shape in daily practice—listen for "things" and "behold". Work out new declare by steady, quiet faithfulness—keep zeal yoked to love.
Context
This passage belongs to Isaiah, a prophetic oracle witness, highlighting new declare. Within ch. 42, a small unit frames the emphasis. It edges toward prophetic hope & judgment. Watch the terms “things” and “behold”.
