Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 45:19

Isaiah 45:19. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place, &c. This is declared in opposition to the manner in which the heathen oracles gave their answers; which were generally delivered not only darkly and doubtfully, but from obscure cells and caverns of the earth: such was the seat of the Cumean Sibyl: “Excisum Euboicæ latus ingens rupis in antrum.” “A spacious cave within its farmost part Was hew’d, and fashion’d by laborious art: Through the hill’s hollow sides ” VIRG.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:1-19

God uses Cyrus (45:1-19)Cyrus’s many victories, and the power and wealth he gained through them, were all planned by God. God was preparing the way so that Cyrus could conquer Babylon and release the Jews. Throughout these events, Cyrus did not know God and was unaware that God was using him to carry out his purposes for Israel (45:1-4).To Cyrus, his release of the captive Jews was a relatively minor event in his long and glorious career, but in the eyes of God it was the purpose for which he... read more

"For thus saith Jehovah that created the heavens, the God that formed the earth and made it, that established it and created it not for a waste, that formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is none else.

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 45:15-17

Isaiah 45:15-17. Verily, thou art a God— The church or chorus of believers which are here introduced cry out, and interrupt, as it were, the divine discourse with exultation; which may be divided into three articles. The first explains the nature of God, with respect to his ways, and the order of his counsels and providence;—in this verse. See chap. Leviticus 8:9. The ways and judgments of God are a great deep; and therefore not to be judged of too presumptuously by the narrow human intellect.... read more
