G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 44:1-28

The beginning of this chapter (verses Isa 44:1-5 ) contains the gracious promise of the outpouring of the Spirit of God, and a description of the blessing of refreshment and renewal which will come to Israel, and the consequent influence on other people. In this message the power of Jehovah is compared with that of idols. Jehovah begins by declaring Himself to be the first and the last, the only God, knowing, and declaring, and appointing. Because these things are so, appeal is made to the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:21-23

Yahweh Calls On Israel To Remember Their Status And What He Has Done For Them (Isaiah 44:21-23 ). Having contemptuously dismissed the gods that men worship Yahweh now calls on His people to recognise how different He is. Isaiah 44:21 “Remember these things, O Jacob, And Israel, for you are my servant. I have formed you, you are a servant of mine, O Israel, you will not be forgotten of me.” God’s people are now told to remember all that He has said to them. For all will come about. And... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:6-23

Isaiah 44:6-Ruth : , Isaiah 44:21-: . The Incomparableness of Yahweh, Who Redeems Israel.— Yahweh of (the heavenly) Hosts ( Genesis 2:1 *, 1 Samuel 1:3 *) asserts His uniqueness, challenging any who claim to have foretold the future aright to make their pretensions good. His people need not fear: long ago, as they can testify, He foretold what is now coming to pass. Let them remember the incomparableness of their Master. He blots out their sins as the sun disperses the morning clouds. The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 44:22

I have blotted out, as a thick cloud; as the sun commonly dissolveth, or the wind scattereth, the thickest and blackest cloud, so as there is no remnant nor appearance of it left. Return from thine idolatry, and other wicked practices. I have redeemed thee; therefore thou art mine, and obliged to return and adhere to me. read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:22

Isaiah 44:22 I. We find in these words a wonderful teaching as to the inmost nature of sin. I refer especially here to the two words for sin which are employed here. That translated "transgression"literally means "treachery" or "rebellion;" and that translated sin "missing a mark." All sin is treacherous rebellion. That is to say, it has relation not only to a law, but to a lawgiver. It is not merely a departure from what is right, it is treason against God. And then, still further, the other... read more

DISCOURSE: 937THE WORK OF REDEMPTION A MOTIVE TO CONVERSIONIsaiah 44:22. Return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.ON occasions of public worship we generally expect a set discourse from man. But on the present occasion, I wish you to place man altogether out of the question, and to listen to a few words addressed to you by Jews Christ himself. It is he who is speaking in the passage before us, and who, addressing, as it were, every one of us by name, urges us by the most forcible of all... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 44:1-28

Isaiah 44:5 . Another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord. This phrase is somewhat obscure; it is not said whether they signed a covenant, or imprinted some mark on their hand. The latter sense is preferred by the critics. Vide Poli Synopsis. Slaves were branded in the hand with their master’s name; the cruel Assyrians branded their forehead. The heathen generally imprinted on their children, the mark or the sign of the god to which they were devoted. The worshippers of the... read more
