Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 44:25

That frustrateth - Hebrew, ‘Breaking:’ that is, destroying, rendering vain. The idea is, that that which necromancers and diviners relied on as certain demonstration that what they predicted would be fulfilled, God makes vain and inefficacious. The event which they predicted did not follow, and all their alleged proofs that they were endowed with divine or miraculous power he rendered vain.The tokens - Hebrew, אתות 'othôth - ‘Signs.’ This word is usually applied to miracles, or to signs of the... read more

Isaiah 44:24-27. I am the Lord that maketh all things And therefore I can save thee without the help of any other gods, or any creature; that frustrateth the tokens of the liars Of the magicians and astrologers, who were numerous and greatly esteemed in Babylon, and who had foretold the long continuance and prosperity of the Chaldean empire. And maketh the diviners mad With grief for the disappointment of their predictions, and their disgrace which followed it. That turneth wise men... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-28

Israel’s God and man-made gods (44:1-28)Not only is God willing to forgive his people, but he wants to pour out the power of his Spirit upon them so that new spiritual life will spring up within them. This will enable them to evangelize the Gentiles, who will then join the descendants of Jacob in worshipping the God of Israel (44:1-5). Israel’s redeemer is the only God. He knows the end from the beginning and his people can depend on him always (6-8).In contrast to the one true and living God... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 44:24-27

Isaiah 44:24-27. Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer, &c.— The prophet here continues the discourse of God, after having called upon the whole creation, in the preceding verse, to praise him for the blessing of that great redemption from Babylon, concerning which he treats in these verses; and therefore he prefixes to this period a new and solemn preface, Thus saith the Lord, &c. The false prophets and diviners, mentioned in Isa 44:25 are those astrologers, with whom Chaldea particularly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 44:24

The Lord prefaced His stunning prediction with a reminder of who was making it. He was Yahweh, Israel’s covenant God who had redeemed her and would yet redeem her. He had brought her into existence by Himself, as He had created all things including the heavens and the earth (cf. Isaiah 40:12-14; Isaiah 40:21-22). The often repeated phrase "Thus says the LORD" in this part of Isaiah engenders confidence in the promises of redemption that follow (cf. Isaiah 45:1; Isaiah 45:11; Isaiah 45:14;... read more
