The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:3

God the Savior. "I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour." As we know God, he is a Triune Being—Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; and Scripture traces the whole work of salvation to God thus apprehended. Salvation is not the work of one Person of the Trinity, but the work of the whole personality of God. This is the truth which may be unfolded from the expression in this text. I. SALVATION IS THE WORK OF THE DIVINE TRINITY . This is variously taught in Holy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 43:3-7

The goodness of God to man. The abounding grace of God to the children of men is brought out very strikingly here. It is seen in— I. THE HIGH PURPOSE FOR WHICH HE CREATES US . "I have created him for my glory." There is no end so lofty in itself and so elevating in its influence for which God could have made mankind as this. It is for this, primarily, that the very highest intelligences in the heavenly spheres have their being. II. THE PROFOUND INTEREST HE ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:2

When thou passest through the waters - This is a general promise, and means that whenever and wherever they should pass through water or fire, he would protect them. It had been true in their past history as a people; and the assurance is here given in order that they might be comforted in view of the calamities which they were then suffering in Babylon. Fire and water are often used in the Scriptures to denote calamity - the latter because it overwhelms; the former because it consumes; see... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:3

For I am the Lord thy God - This verse continues the statement of the reasons why he would protect them. He was Yahweh their God. He was not only the true God, but he was the God who had entered into solemn covenant with them, and who would therefore protect and defend them.The Holy One of Israel - It was one of his characteristics that he was the God of Israel. Other nations worshipped other gods. He was the God of Israel; and as it was presumed that a god would protect his own people, so he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:1-2

Isaiah 43:1-2. But now, thus saith the Lord But, notwithstanding thy gross insensibility under former judgments, for which I might justly send far heavier calamities upon thee, yet I will deal mercifully with thee. That created thee, O Jacob, &c. Who made thee his people, and that in a manner as miraculous as if he had created thee a second time out of nothing; and therefore he will be gracious to his own workmanship. Fear not; for I have redeemed thee From the Egyptians and divers... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:3-4

Isaiah 43:3-4 . I gave Egypt for thy ransom Some think this was fulfilled when God smote the firstborn and others in Egypt, and afterward drowned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for the safety and benefit of his people. But it is more “commonly referred to the time of Sennacherib’s invasion; who, when he was just ready to fall upon Jerusalem, soon after his entering Judea, was providentially diverted from that design, and turned his arms against the Egyptians; and their allies the... 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
