The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 43:1-28

The Right of the Creator Isaiah 43:0 The chapter opens with the words "But now." They indicate some change in the tone of the narrative, or appeal, or judgment. A very notable change they indicate, quite a miracle of a transformation, possible only to the Almighty musician; none other could have ventured upon this metamorphosis. We have read "Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 43:18-21

The last of these verses gives a full answer to the inquiry, wherefore the Lord so favoured Israel? All is for the divine glory; and all that glory is in Christ; Ephesians 1:10 ; Revelation 4:11 . Oh, how truly blessed, to behold all glory given to our glorious Head, Christ Jesus, that all may terminate in Jehovah's glory, and open a source of never ceasing praise to the Father, Son, and Spirit, in and through the Mediator, Christ Jesus! John 17:1 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:14-21

14-21 The deliverance from Babylon is foretold, but there is reference to greater events. The redemption of sinners by Christ, the conversion of the Gentiles, and the recall of the Jews, are described. All that is to be done to rescue sinners, and to bring the believer to glory, is little, compared with that wondrous work of love, the redemption of man. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 43:14-21

Proof That Jehovah Is The Holy One v. 14. Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, their Vindicator and Deliverer, the Holy One of Israel, whose outstanding attribute in dealing with His people is holiness: For your sake I have sent to Babylon and have brought down all their nobles, causing the Babylonians to be driven away as fugitives, and the Chaldeans, the original inhabitants of Babylonia, whose cry is in the ships, literally, "together with the Chaldeans on the ships of their exulting,"... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 43:14-28

a Way in the Wilderness Isaiah 43:14-28 Let uptake care lest we thwart God’s purpose in our lives. We were made to show forth His praise, Isaiah 43:21 ; but we must beware of causing a revoking of His gracious purpose (See Numbers 14:34 , r.v. margin): by prayerlessness, Isaiah 43:22 ; by the neglect of little things, Isaiah 43:23 ; by the lack of sweetness and tenderness in our disposition, Isaiah 43:24 . “Be not high-minded, but fear; for if God spared not the natural branches, neither... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:1-28

Following the manifesto, we have in the next three chapters a series of messages of Jehovah. The first declares His perpetual purpose for His people. His constant attitude of love is affirmed in promises which gain their force from the fact that they glance back at past deliverances. Passing through waters, and through rivers, walking through fire, they are to be safe, for they have been safe in such conditions. Then deliverance is definitely promised, in which the north must give up, and the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:14-21

Included In His Redeeming Activity Will Be His Judgment on The Pernicious Influence of the Rulers of Babylon When He Will ‘Bring Them Down’ As Fugitives In Their Ships (Isaiah 43:14-21 ). Having declared how Yahweh is going to use Egypt and Cush as a ransom in order to rescue Judah, and how He is going to bring all the worldwide exiles from every part of the world (Isaiah 43:5-7), Isaiah now briefly turns his attention for the first time since chapter 39 to Babylon. He saw them as standing... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:14-21

Isaiah 43:14-Ecclesiastes : . Yahweh will Work for His People a Deliverance more Wonderful than the Exodus. Isaiah 43:14 is too corrupt to be translated with confidence. RV understands it to refer to a flight by water of the Babylonians from their fallen city. Yahweh recalls His people’ s passage through the Red Sea, when He overwhelmed the Egyptians. So much more wonderful will be His new achievement that it will be quoted instead of the Exodus as the supreme evidence of His redeeming power.... read more
