What does it mean for the Holy One of Israel to be in our midst?

Answered in 1 source

The presence of the Holy One of Israel means that God is actively bringing comfort and salvation to His people.

When Isaiah speaks of the Holy One of Israel being in the midst of His people, it refers to the special, saving presence of God among believers. This presence brings not only comfort but also assurance of salvation. It signifies that for those who have experienced God's smiting—becoming aware of their sinful state—the turning away of God's anger through Christ results in transformative joy. Such an understanding fosters confidence in God's provision and His ongoing work in the lives of believers, culminating in ultimate redemption through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, it reassures the faithful that they are not alone but are continually embraced by God's grace.
