以賽亞書 45:17-19 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:17

Israel shall be saved … with an everlasting salvation ; literally, a salvation of ages ; i.e. one which will continue age after age. As Mr. Cheyne remarks, for this to be so, the redemption required to be spiritual as well as temporal. Otherwise it would ere long have been forfeited. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:18

Thus saith the Lord , etc. Translate, Thus saith the Lord that created the heavens—he is God—that formed the earth and made it ; he established it ; he created it not a chaos , but formed it to be inhabited : I am the Lord , and there is none else. As God had not formed the earth to be a material chaos, but had introduced into it order and arrangement, so he willed his spiritual creation to be recovered out of the confusion into which it had fallen, and to be established in... 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 45:19

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth ; literally, in a place of the land of darkness. Jehovah's oracles have not been given, like those of the necromancers, or those of the heathen gods, in dark places of the earth—caves like that of Trophonius (Pansan; 9:29, § 2), or the inmost recesses ( adyta ) of temples; but openly on Sinai, or by the mouth of prophets who proclaimed his words to all Israel. So our Lord says of his own teaching, "I spake openly to the world; I... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:19

Seeking in vain. Henderson regards this as an appeal "to the publicity" and perspicuity with which the Divine predictions had been announced; with manifest reference to the responses of the heathen oracles, which were given from deep and obscure caverns, or the hidden recesses of temples; and were, at the best, artful and equivocal, and, in cases of extreme difficulty, were altogether withheld." Cheyne says, "The heathen oracles are as obscure in their origin as they are unveracious and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:17

But Israel shall be saved - Referring primarily to the Jews in Babylon, but affirming the universal truth that the true Israel (compare Romans 2:28-29), that is, the people of God, shall be saved from all their trials, and shall be brought to his everlasting kingdom.In the Lord - By Jehovah - ביהוה bayohvâh; Septuagint, Ἀπὸ κυρίου Apo kuriou. It shall be done by the power of Yahweh, and shall be traced to him alone. No more human power could have saved them from their captivity in Babylon;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:18

For thus saith the Lord - This verse is designed to induce them to put uuwavering confidence in the true God. For this purpose, the prophet enumerates the great things which God had done in proof that he alone was A mighty, and was worthy of trust.He hath established it - That is, the earth. The language here is derived from the supposition that the earth is laid upon a foundation, and is made firm. The Septuagint renders this, ‘God who displayed the earth to view, and who, having made it,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:19

I have not spoken in secret - The word rendered ‘secret’ (סתר sı̂ther) denotes a hiding, or covering; and the phrase here means secretly, privately. He did not imitate the pagan oracles by uttering his predictions from dark and deep caverns, and encompassed with the circumstances of awful mystery, and with designed obscurity.In a dark place of the earth - From a cave, or dark recess, in the manner of the pagan oracles. The pagan responses were usually given from some dark cavern or recess,... read more

Isaiah 45:16-17. They The idolatrous Gentiles, as it is explained in the end of the verse, opposed to Israel in the beginning of the next verse, shall be ashamed, &c. Hebrew, בושׁו וגם גכלמר כלם , They are ashamed, they are even confounded, all of them; that is, after the completion of this prophecy. They shall go Hebrew, הלכו , they go, to confusion together, the makers of idols Both the artificers, and the masters that set them on work, and consequently all their worshippers.... read more
