Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:18

18. (See on :-). not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited—Therefore, Judah, lying waste during the Babylonish captivity, shall be peopled again by the exiles. The Jews, from this passage, infer that, after the resurrection, the earth shall be inhabited, for there can be no reason why the earth should then exist in vain any more than now ( :-). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 45:19

19. not . . . secret—not like the heathen oracles which gave their responses from dark caverns, with studied obscurity ( :-). Christ plainly quotes these words, thereby identifying Himself with Jehovah (John 18:20). I said not . . . Seek . . . in vain—When I commanded you to seek Me (Jehovah did so, John 18:20- :, "Ask Me," c.), it was not in order that ye might be sent empty away (Deuteronomy 32:47). Especially in Israel's time of trial, God's interposition, in behalf of Zion hereafter, is... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 45:16-17

The idols would humiliate their makers when it became clear that they have no power to save. But God’s ability to save His people forever will not result in His being put to shame. Yahweh’s deliverance of Israel to continued existence would impress the Gentiles after Cyrus’ decree (Isaiah 45:14-15). But God would provide an eternal salvation for His people that only Gentiles after the coming of Christ could appreciate (cf. Romans 9:33; Romans 10:11; 1 Peter 2:6). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 45:18

Again the Lord affirmed (cf. Isaiah 45:1; Isaiah 45:14) that He created the heavens, and there is no other God beside Him (cf. Exodus 20:1-3; Deuteronomy 6:4). These affirmations indicate that what follows substantiates what has gone before. God is trustworthy, and will not embarrass or humiliate His worshippers, because He is the almighty Creator. Isaiah’s elaboration on this statement stresses that God’s creative activity was for the welfare of His creatures.Some readers of this verse have... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 45:19

Since God made the world for human habitation, it is reasonable that He would communicate His plans and purposes to humans. This is what He has done. God made Himself known to the Israelites. What He has revealed is in harmony with how He created the world. He has done what is right and has not distorted the truth. He has not hidden Himself (cf. Isaiah 45:15; John 18:20).". . . the point appears to be to contrast God’s method of revelation with the dark practices of the heathen soothsayers."... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 45:18

(18) He hath established it . . .—i.e., prepared it (see Deuteronomy 32:6; Genesis 42:16) for human habitation. It was not a tohu or chaos (Genesis 1:2; Isaiah 24:10), but the scene of human action. We note the grandeur of the prophet’s thoughts of creation. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 45:19

(19) I have not spoken in secret.—The words are in marked contrast to the thought expressed in Isaiah 45:15. God had been all along revealing Himself, not like the oracles of the heathen, in the gloom of caves and darkened shrines (Isaiah 8:19; Isaiah 65:4; Isaiah 29:4), but in the broad daylight of history and in the law written on men’s hearts. He had bidden men seek Him not in chaos, but in a world of order, and to recognise His utterances by their righteousness. read more
