In addition to the purpose of glorifying God’s name, as mentioned in the previous chapter, this prophecy serves to encourage the Israelites, who are hesitant to embark on the journey and actualize their redemption. If making aliya is challenging today, it was likely even more difficult in that era. The people of Israel are called to undertake a difficult and dangerous path, fraught with enemies and natural and human dangers. Against these fears, God reassures them: “Do not fear: I redeem you,” (43:1)) and promises: “Though you pass through waters – I am with you; through rivers – they will not wash you away. Though you walk right through the fire, you will not be burned, and no flame will take hold of you.” (43:2)

To illustrate the greatness of the miracle and the divine providence that will accompany the returnees to the Land of Israel, the prophecy recalls the Exodus from Egypt (Yetziat Mitzrayim) and the splitting of the Sea of Reeds: "So says the Lord, who forges a way through the ocean, who set a path through raging waters, who destroys mighty horse and chariot of war, to make them lie down never to rise; they died down like a flaxen wick.” (43:16–17) God assures that just as He performed wonders then, so too will He oversee this journey: "For I am making something new; even now it grows, and will you not know it? I shall make a way through desert land and rivers across the wilderness.” (43:19)

Yirmiyahu similarly describes the future redemption as surpassing the Exodus from Egypt in grandeur: "Therefore, days are approaching, declares the Lord, when it will no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who has brought the Israelites up from the land of Egypt,’ but rather, ‘As the Lord lives, who has brought the Israelites from the land of the north and from all the lands to which He had expelled them’; I will return them to their own soil, which I gave to their fathers.” (Yirmiyahu 16:14–15) The story of the Exodus is etched into the hearts of the people of Israel across generations as the most miraculous and supernatural tale of redemption. It serves as a model meant to inspire awe and excitement in the generation of redemption, who now stand on the brink of experiencing their own salvation.
