G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 41:1-29

Having thus announced the majesty of Jehovah, the prophet proceeds to utter his general manifesto. This occupies chapters forty-one and forty-two. In chapter forty-one Jehovah challenges the island and the people to come near to judgment, that is, to consider what He has to say. He declares that He, and He alone has raised up the one from the East whose progress is victorious. The confederacy of the people against Cyrus is described, and then the prophet declares Jehovah's purpose of peace for... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Isaiah 41:8-15

The God of All Help Isaiah 41:8-15 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Isaiah is one that lives with us in every daily task and conflict. Sometimes we think that the Old Testament Scriptures are far separated from our needs, and that they have very little in common with twentieth century life. This, however, is altogether erroneous. People of all ages and all climes meet the same needs, have more or less the same environments, and have the same task from God. Isaiah 41:1-29 displays God as a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:8-16

God’s Assurance of Success To His People, Weak Though They Are (Isaiah 41:8-16 ). Isaiah 41:8 “But you Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The seed of Abraham, the one who loved me.” He now declares Israel’s unique position. They are His chosen, but not because of what they themselves are, but because they are the seed of Abraham, the one who loved Him, the one who came from the east. They are His chosen ones in Abraham. They are begotten through Jacob. Thus do they enjoy the unique... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:8-10

Isaiah 41:8-2 Samuel : . But Israel, who in the person of Abraham was summoned from Mesopotamia, is also a chosen instrument of Yahweh, and has nothing to fear amid these commotions. Isaiah 41:10 . right . . . righteousness: render, “ My vindicating right hand.” read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 41:9

Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth; thou, Israel, whom I took to myself, and brought hither in the loins of thy father Abraham from a remote country, to wit, Chaldea; or, whom I brought back out of Babylon into thine own land, which though yet to come, he may speak of as of a thing past, as the prophets use to do, as was noted before. Jut the former interpretation seems to agree better with the foregoing verse. From the chief men thereof; from the midst of many great and noble... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 41:6-10

TWO KINDS OF HELPIsaiah 41:6. They helped every one his neighbour, &c.Isaiah 41:10. Fear not; I will help thee, &c.It is manifestly the intention of the prophet to exhibit the contrast between Israel and the heathen nations. In contemplating the promise of the 10th verse, we may be so absorbed by its boundless wealth, so amazed by its condescension, so cheered by its comfort, that we fail to notice the sombre background against which it is placed. There is help in both cases, but how... 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
