以賽亞書 43:16-19 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:18

Remember ye not the former things . The old deliverance will be as nothing compared with the new. Israel must cast its eye forwards, not backwards. Mr. Cheyne well compares Jeremiah 23:7 , Jeremiah 23:8 , and also well notes that "the chief glories of the second manifestation are spiritual." Israel in the wilderness was a stiff:necked and rebellious people, given to murmuring, licentiousness, and idolatry. Israel, returned from Babylon, will no more hanker after idols, but will have... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I will do a new thing (comp. Isaiah 42:9 , with the comment). It is, of course, quite possible that the novelty is not merely in the circumstances of the deliverance, but extends to all its results, among which is the Messianic kingdom—verily, a "new thing" (see Jeremiah 31:22 ). Now it shall spring forth ; rather, already it is springing up (comp. Isaiah 42:9 ). Things, however, are more advanced (to the prophet's eye) than when that passage was written. Events are... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:16

Thus saith the Lord - This verse contains a reference to the deliverance from Egyptian servitude - the great storehouse of argument and illustration with the sacred writers; the standing demonstration of God’s merciful interposition in behalf of their nation, and proof that he was their God.Which maketh - Whose characteristic it is to open a path of safety for his people even when deep and rapid floods are before them The standing roof of this which undoubtedly the prophet had in his eye, was... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:17

Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse - The reference here is, undoubtedly, to the occurrences which are recorded in Exodus 14:4, following, when Pharaoh and his host are said to have followed the Israelites, but were all submerged in the sea. God is said to have brought them forth in accordance with the general statement so often made, that he controls and directs princes and nations (see the note at Isaiah 10:5-6).They shall lie down together - They shall sink together to death, as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:18

Remember ye not ... - So great and wonderful shall be God’s future interpositions in your behalf, that what he has done, great as that was, shall be comparatively forgotten.The former things - The deliverance from Egypt, and the overthrow of his enemies there.The things of old - The things that were formerly done. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:19

I will do a new thing - Something that has not hitherto occurred, some unheard of and wonderful event, that shall far surpass all that he had formerly done (see the note at Isaiah 42:9).Now it shall spring forth - (See the note at Isaiah 42:9). It shall spring up as the grass does from the earth; or it shall bud forth like the opening leaves and flowers - a beautiful figure, denoting the manner in which the events of Divine Providence come to pass.I will even make a way in the wilderness - In... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:16-17

Isaiah 43:16-17. Which maketh a way in the sea, &c. Who, as he formerly made a way for Israel through the Red sea, will, in a no less wonderful manner, remove all impediments out of the way of his people when they return from Babylon. Which bringeth forth Or, rather, who brought forth, the chariots, &c. That is, Pharaoh and his chariots, horses, and army. They shall lie down, &c. They lay down together In the bottom of the sea, whence they never rose again to molest the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:18-19

Isaiah 43:18-19. Remember ye not the former things But although your former deliverance out of Egypt was in itself a most glorious work, which you ought always to remember and consider; yet this other work, of your deliverance out of Babylon, and those blessings which shall follow upon it, and particularly that of sending the Messiah, shall be so transcendent a favour, that, in comparison thereof, all your former deliverances are scarcely worthy of your remembrance and consideration. See... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

Redemption through God’s grace (43:1-28)Despite Israel’s failure and subsequent punishment, God has not cast off his people for ever. God used the power of foreign nations to enslave them and bring sufferings and hardships upon them, but he will now destroy the power of those nations. He will make them pay the ransom price for the redemption of captive Israel. They will fall so that Israel can go free (43:1-4). Wherever the captives are, they are still God’s people, and he will bring them back... read more
