イザヤ書 41:26 JCB

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:21-29

Isaiah 41:21-Joel : . Yahweh’ s Challenge to the Gods of the Nations.— The nations are bidden to produce their case and bring forward their champions— their idols (so emend “ strong reasons” ). Let the idols show that in days gone by they have foreseen the antecedents of present developments, or explain the events now happening and about to happen. They remain dumb, and Yahweh taunts them with their impotence. He has raised up Cyrus; who among them had foreseen the event? Not one; how patent,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 41:26

Who hath declared from the beginning? which of all your idols did or could foretell such things as this from the beginning of the world unto this day? They never yet did nor can foretell any such things, further than I think fit to reveal it to them. Beforetime; either in time past, or before the things come to pass. That we may say, that we may be convinced and forced to acknowledge, He is righteous; his cause now pleaded is just and good; he. is a God indeed as he pretends to be, he claims... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 41:1-29

In the forty-first chapter of Isaiah in the first part of the chapter, God begins His predictions concerning Cyrus who was not yet born. A man who was not to be born for a hundred and fifty years. But God begins to talk about him. How he's going to raise him up. How he's going to prosper him. How he's going to give him a kingdom and subdue nations before him. As we progress in our study tonight, we'll find that God actually names him. "In order to prove that I'm really God, there's no one else... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 41:1-29

Isaiah 41:1 . Keep silence before me, oh islands. Commentators here refer us to the time of our Saviour’s birth, for the isles of Chittim designate the Roman power. In the Augustan age, the temple of Janus for the third time was shut, in commemoration of peace throughout the world, and when the stormy shouts of war were heard no more. Thus, when the fulness of time was come, providence prepared the way, by peace and concord, for the Saviour’s advent. Christian doctors seem agreed, that... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:26

26. Who hath declared from the beginning The questioned resumed as respects idols. Which of them ever gave a prediction at all? Which of them could even affirm as I, Jehovah, have affirmed of Cyrus? He is righteous A better translation, at least of the thought, is that of Cowles: “Who has declared [any thing] from the beginning, that we may know [it,] and from before the event, and we will say, Right. [It is true.] Verily there has been no such revealer, no such publisher; not one who... read more
