James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-28

ISAIAH INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO The chapters of Part 2 (chaps. 40-46) are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author’s Primers of the Faith. In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse though doubtless, such is not... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 44:21-22

Reader! methinks I can never say enough in calling up your attention, with my own, to observe in what endearing terms the Lord is pleased to recommend his grace, and love, an mercy to his Israel! And do not forget that what is here said, is said, to the person of our Lord: first to him, and then, in him, to all his people. And be not hurt that the promise is, of blotting out as a thick cloud his transgressions; for when Jesus stood as Israel, and, as such, the surety and representative of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:21-28

21-28 Return unto me. It is the great concern of those who have backslidden from God, like the Jews of old, to hasten their return to him. The work of redemption wrought for us by Christ, encourages to hope for all blessings from him. Our transgressions and our sins are as a thick cloud between heaven and earth: sins separate between us and God; they threaten a storm of wrath. When God pardons sin, he blots out, he dispels this cloud, this thick cloud, so that the way to heaven is open again.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 44:9-23

The Vanity of Idolatry over against Jehovah v. 9. They that make a graven image, those who manufacture idols, are all of them vanity, nothingness, desolation; and their delectable things, the idols for which they profess such a deep affection, shall not profit, not being able to help them in any way; and they are their own witnesses; they see not nor know, the idol-worshipers themselves testifying that their gods are both blind and ignorant, that they, the idolaters, may be ashamed, for... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 44:22

Isaiah WRITING BLOTTED OUT AND MIST MELTED Isa_44:22 . Isaiah has often and well been called the Evangelical Prophet. Many parts of this second half of his prophecies referring to the Messiah read like history rather than prediction. But it is not only from the clearness with which the great figure of the future king of Israel stands out on his page that he deserves that title. Other thoughts belonging to the very substance of the gospel appear in him with a vividness and a frequency which... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 44:21-28

the Promise of Redemption Isaiah 44:21-28 What divine comfort there is in these gracious words! Notwithstanding all their wanderings and sins, the Chosen People were Jehovah’s elect race. Nothing could make Him forget them; He had redeemed them with the saving strength of His right hand. He could never forget them , but He would forget their sins . Their transgressions had melted into the blue azure of His love. If sought for, they could not be found. Nature was asked to be one great... read more
