God Works Something New

Isaiah prophesied about the return from Babylon (which would also involve crossing a desert) that would come 150 years later, and from that we learn of the new deliverance God is working. It is unlike any other deliverance because it is eternal deliverance; God is taking on human flesh to be our savior. So it is also unlike any other people, as it is meant for all people of all time, transcending cultures, as He makes those who trust in His deliverance into His people.
