F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 44:21-28

the Promise of Redemption Isaiah 44:21-28 What divine comfort there is in these gracious words! Notwithstanding all their wanderings and sins, the Chosen People were Jehovah’s elect race. Nothing could make Him forget them; He had redeemed them with the saving strength of His right hand. He could never forget them , but He would forget their sins . Their transgressions had melted into the blue azure of His love. If sought for, they could not be found. Nature was asked to be one great... read more

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 44:24-28

YAHWEH IS ABOUT TO ACT SO AS TO ESTABLISH HIS PEOPLE AND PREPARE THE WAY FOR HIS SERVANT (Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 48:22 ). As with what has gone before it is necessary for us to determine the viewpoint from which we will see these narratives, and in order to do so we must put ourselves in the shoes of Isaiah. Chapters 1-39 were mainly behind him, Hezekiah was dead, and what lay before him was the future in terms of Manasseh’s reign. That reign had not had a promising beginning. Manasseh had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 44:24-28

Isaiah 44:24 to Isaiah 45:8 . Yahweh’ s Commission to Cyrus.— Yahweh reminds Israel of His power as sole Creator of the universe. What He created He still controls, so that He falsifies the predictions deduced by the soothsayers from the omens, and makes the diviners look foolish, while He fulfils the predictions of His servants (read plural), the prophets. He it is who has decreed the restoration of Jerusalem, the Temple, and the cities of Judah. The hindrances are compared to a flood,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 44:28

Cyrus, whom God here designeth by his proper name two hundred years before he was born, that this might be an undeniable evidence of the certainty and exactness of God’s foreknowledge, and a convincing argument, and so most fit to conclude this dispute between God and idols. He is my shepherd; him will I set up to be the shepherd of my people, to rescue them from wolves or tyrants, to gather them together, to rule them gently, and to provide comfortably for them. All my pleasure; all that I... 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
