Isaiah 43

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 43:8

"Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is truth, Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he; before me there was no God formed, neither shall there... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 43:14

"Thus saith Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; for your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans in the ships of their rejoicing. I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. Thus saith Jehovah, who maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; who bringeth forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 43:22

"Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Thou has not brought me of thy sheep for burnt-offerings; neither hast thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices; but thou hast burdened me with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities."If any further proof of when and by... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 43:25

"I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and I will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance; let us plead together: set thou forth thy cause, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore, I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."Isaiah 43:25 does not mean that God is forgiving Israel's sins without regard to their penitence; but it... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43

CHAP. XLIII. The Lord comforteth the people with his promises: he appealeth to the people for witness of his omnipotency: he foretelleth to them the destruction of Babylon, and his wonderful deliverance of his people: he reproveth the people as inexcusable. Before Christ 712. THE second part of this discourse is contained in this chapter, and the five first verses of the 44th. See the analysis of the preceding chapter. We have here, first, the consolatory part, containing a general consolatory... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:1

Isaiah 43:1. O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel— Jacob and Israel are here to be understood mystically, of the true and spiritual Israel; for they are not all Israel who are of Israel, says the apostle, Romans 9:6. Vitringa thinks that the prophet here addresses the true believers of his own times; though there is no reason to confine the address, which may also refer to believers under the Gospel; for the consolation here offered unquestionably refers to the true Israelites of all... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:2

Isaiah 43:2. When thou passest through the waters, &c.— The general sense of the promise in this verse is, that God will so support and protect his spiritual church in those adversities and calamities which seem to threaten its destruction, that it shall never be destroyed; and that true believers shall always be supported by the hand of the Almighty. The expression in this verse seems to allude to some preceding events in the Jewish history, and to have respect to some succeeding ones. See... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:3

Isaiah 43:3. For I am the Lord thy God— The Almighty by his prophet proceeds to assure his church of his particular affection towards her, by a remarkable proof of that affection; which is, that the evils and calamities threatening the destruction of the Jewish nation, had by his providence been averted from them, and turned upon the Egyptians, Ethiopians, and Sabeans. The prophet alludes to what is foretold in the 20th chapter. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:4

Isaiah 43:4. Since thou wast precious, &c.— This verse refers, according to Vitringa, to the deliverance from Sennacherib, whereby God abundantly shewed that the Jewish nation was precious and honourable in his sight; and the men, in the last clause, refers to the Assyrians, and the people to the Chaldees. The Assyrians suffered a fearful slaughter under their king Sennacherib, for the sake of the church; and the empire of the Chaldees was to be overturned by the Medes and Persians, to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:5-7

Isaiah 43:5-7. Fear not— You see Isaiah here, in spirit, foretelling much greater and more important things than he seemed about to declare. We must observe, that while he appears to speak of one thing only, two are understood: the less includes the greater. Speaking literally and properly of the collection of the dispersed church from Babylon,—a more noble collection, the spiritual one of the Jews and Gentiles to the church of Christ, was in his view; and this is described in expressions taken... read more
