The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:14-23

The conversion of the Gentiles gradual, but ultimately complete. Three stages in the conversion of the Gentiles seem to be marked—one in Isaiah 45:3 ; another in Isaiah 45:20 ; a third in Isaiah 45:23 . I. THE FIRST STAGE . The nations within a certain moderate radius of Palestine are naturally the first to come in—Egypt and Ethiopia, in Africa; and by parity of reasoning, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Asia Minor, in Asia; Greece, Italy, and Southern Gaul, in Europe. This was very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:14-25

THE CONVERSION ' OF THE GENTILES A CONSEQUENCE OF THE RESTORATION AND SALVATION OF ISRAEL . "With the prospect of the release of the exiles is associated," says Delitzsch, "in the prophet's perspective, the prospect of an expansion of the restored Church, through the entrance of the fulness of the Gentiles." Egypt, Ethiopia, and Saba are especially mentioned here, as in Isaiah 43:3 , as among the first to come in ( Isaiah 43:14 , Isaiah 43:15 ). Later on, a more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:16

They shall be ashamed … shall go to confusion ; rather, are ashamed … are gone to confusion— the "perfect of prophetic certainty." While the heathen that join themselves to Israel partake of their glory and salvation, such as abide by their idols are covered with shame and confusion. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 45:16-19

What shall the end be? Things are rightly tested by their issues. We do well to ask—To what is this course tending? in what will it terminate? Taken in a deep and full sense, though not in a short and shallow one, "all is well that ends well." The prophet says that idolatry will be condemned in the ultimate and utter overthrow and confusion of its victims ( Isaiah 45:16 ), while true piety will be finally and fully established ( Isaiah 45:17 ). Of this there was the most ample security... read more

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
