F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 41:1-16

the Lord Upholdeth His Servant Isaiah 41:1-16 The conception of this passage is superb. Jehovah is represented as summoning the earth to determine whether He or some idol of the heathen is the true God, Isaiah 41:7 . Also see Isaiah 41:23 . The test proposed is a simple one! Which can most precisely predict the future? Not, as in Elijah’s case, is the appeal made to fire, but to the fitting of prophecy with historical fulfillment. See Isaiah 41:22-23 . While this great arbitration is in... read more

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

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

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

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 41:10

Isaiah 41:10 God can be God and fearless, but we can scarcely be creatures and fearless. Still less is it likely that sinful creatures should be fearless. It is more than the Father looks for under the present mode of our existence. But when the fearful thing is coming down, or when the children see it looming in the distance and are frightened, and they catch the Father's countenance, and see that He is not frightened, it wonderfully reassures the poor children to see a fearlessness on the... read more

DISCOURSE: 925THE WEAK BELIEVER COMFORTEDIsaiah 41:10. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.OF the contest between Jehovah and the worshippers of idols, we who have never witnessed the madness of idolaters, have no conception: and, consequently, the pains taken by Jehovah to vindicate his exclusive right to the worship of his creatures appear almost... read more
