以賽亞書 45:20 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 45:20-25

What here is said is intended, as before, I. For the conviction of idolators, to show them their folly in worshipping gods that cannot help them, and neglecting a God that can. Let all that have escaped of the nations, not only the people of the Jews, but those of other nations that were by Cyrus released out of captivity in Babylon, let them come, and hear what is to be said against the worshipping of idols, that they may be cured of it as well as the Jews, that Babylon, which had of old been... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:20

Assemble yourselves, and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations ,.... Not that escaped the sword of Cyrus's army, the Chaldeans; nor the Jews that escaped out of Babylon and other countries, by his means; but the remnant, according to the election of grace among the Gentiles; such who were called out of Heathenish darkness into the marvellous light of the Gospel, and escaped the idolatries that others continued in; these are called and summoned together, as to observe... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:14-23

The conversion of the Gentiles gradual, but ultimately complete. Three stages in the conversion of the Gentiles seem to be marked—one in Isaiah 45:3 ; another in Isaiah 45:20 ; a third in Isaiah 45:23 . I. THE FIRST STAGE . The nations within a certain moderate radius of Palestine are naturally the first to come in—Egypt and Ethiopia, in Africa; and by parity of reasoning, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Asia Minor, in Asia; Greece, Italy, and Southern Gaul, in Europe. This was very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:14-25

THE CONVERSION ' OF THE GENTILES A CONSEQUENCE OF THE RESTORATION AND SALVATION OF ISRAEL . "With the prospect of the release of the exiles is associated," says Delitzsch, "in the prophet's perspective, the prospect of an expansion of the restored Church, through the entrance of the fulness of the Gentiles." Egypt, Ethiopia, and Saba are especially mentioned here, as in Isaiah 43:3 , as among the first to come in ( Isaiah 43:14 , Isaiah 43:15 ). Later on, a more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:18-25

God, Israel, and the world. Again, with solemn iteration, Jehovah declares that he is Creator and God alone. The earth was framed and fitted to be the habitation of man, and the theatre of providential manifestations. I. THE REALITY OF THE ETERNAL . The truth is open, and may be published to all; it is no thing of mystery, secrecy, like heathen esoteric rites or knowledge. "Jehovah's Law is not to be obtained by any occult arts from the under-world." He has not been a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:18-25

Jehovah: his nature and purposes. I. HIS SOLE DEITY . He is the Creator, and to say this is to say that his is "the Godhead." This truth is repeated "line upon line," and "precept upon precept." Simple truths have an emphasis peculiar to them. They need to be iterated , because the memories of men are unfaithful, their imaginations vagrant, their affections prone to wander from their true and central Object. It was so in ancient times; it is so still. Then men were tempted to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:20

Assemble yourselves and come … ye … escaped of the nations . The prophet reverts to the main idea of the section, which is the conversion of the Gentiles, and calls on all "the escaped of the nation"— i.e. all who have survived the judgments of the time—to "assemble and come," to consider the claims of Jehovah to be the only true God, to "look to him ( Isaiah 45:22 ) and be saved." The great judgments through which the heathen will be brought to God have been frequently mentioned ( ... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:20

Assemble yourselves, and come - This, like the passage in Isaiah 41:1 ff, is a solemn appeal to the worshippers of idols, to come and produce the evidences of their being endowed with omniscience, and with almighty power, and of their having claims to the homage of their worshippers.Ye that are escaped of the nations - This phrase has been very variously interpreted. Kimchi supposes that it means those who were distinguished among the nations, their chiefs, and rulers; Aben Ezra, that the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 45:20-22

Isaiah 45:20-22. Draw near together To attend to what I have said, and am now about to say again, concerning the vanity of your idols; ye that are escaped of the nations Ye that survive those many and great destructions which I am bringing upon heathen nations for their abominable idolatries and other wickedness. Let those dreadful judgments upon others, and God’s great mercy in sparing you, awaken you to a more impartial and serious consideration of this subject, and induce you to... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:20-25

Babylon’s helpless gods (45:20-46:13)Cyrus’s conquest of Babylon will prove to those Babylonians who survive that to trust in idols for victory is useless. Wooden gods could not foresee Cyrus’s conquest, but Yahweh, the only true God, predicted it long ago (20-21). People of surrounding nations may previously have fought against Yahweh by trusting in idols, but now they should forsake those idols and submit to the living God. Then they will find victory, righteousness and strength, and will... read more
