Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 46:1-13

CHAPTER XIBEARING OR BORNEIsaiah 46:1-13CHAPTER 46. is a definite prophecy, complete in itself. It repeats many of the truths which we have found in previous chapters, and we have already seen what it says about Cyrus. But it also strikes out a new truth, very relevant then, when men made idols and worshipped the works of their hands, and relevant still, when so many, with equal stupidity, are more concerned about keeping up the forms of their religion than allowing God to sustain... read more

CHAPTER XCYRUSIsaiah 41:2; Isaiah 44:28-28; Isaiah 46:11; Isaiah 48:14CYRUS, the Persian, is the only man outside the covenant and people of Israel, who is yet entitled the Lord’s Shepherd, and the Lord’s Messiah or Christ. He is, besides, the only great personality of whom both the Bible and Greek literature treat at length and with sympathy. Did we know nothing more of him than this, the heathen who received the most sacred titles of Revelation, the one man in history who was the cynosure of... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 46:1-13

CHAPTER 46 1. Babylon Is to Fall The Babylonian idols carried by the beasts (Isaiah 46:1-2 ) 2. How Jehovah carries His people (Isaiah 46:3-4 ) 3. The divine reproach (Isaiah 46:5-7 ) 4. A ravenous bird (Cyrus) to come from the east (Isaiah 46:8-11 ) 5. Salvation in Zion (Isaiah 46:12-13 ) The opening verses are comforting. The helplessness of the Babylonian idols is described. They have to be carried. They cannot deliver out of captivity, for they themselves have gone in to... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 46:1-13

ISAIAH INTRODUCTION TO PART TWO The chapters of Part 2 (chaps. 40-46) are chiefly millennial, and so different from the prevailing themes preceding, as to raise a query whether they were not written by some other author a second, or deutero-Isaiah, as some call him. We do not hold that opinion, the reasons for which are briefly stated in the author’s Primers of the Faith. In Synthetic Bible Studies, it was found convenient to treat this part as a single discourse though doubtless, such is not... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 46:1-13

Precious Promises Isaiah 45-47 In the fifty-fifth chapter we come upon the beginning of many exceeding great and precious promises. However long we may be detained by imagery that is hardly explicable, or by prophecies that appear too remote to be of use to ourselves, we are ever and anon refreshed with doctrines and promises which have a direct reference to our deepest necessities and purest desires. We need more than a grand Bible, as we need more than a high heaven to gaze upon. The heaven... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 46:8-11

See, my soul, how Jehovah pleads with his people, and what sweet and condescending appeals he makes to their understanding, when enlightened by his grace! And do not overlook this precious account, which the Lord gives of himself, in the bosom of this scripture. His counsel must stand. Blessed be God for this! Embrace this solemn truth, in an especial manner, as it concerns the gospel of Jesus. Here, the Lord hath by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, given to the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 46:12-13

I beg the Reader to ponder over these verses, and keep them in remembrance. Here is God's call to the unhumbled in Zion, the unawakened, unregenerate of his people, if I mistake not: and this is the first class the Lord speaks to in this sermon. In the successive chapters, he speaks to several other characters, among his people, on the same subject. But this is to the stout-hearted: to these he proposed Jesus and his salvation. And observe, that Jesus and his salvation is for Jehovah's glory,... read more

Bird; Cyrus, whose rapid conquests are thus denoted. (Calmet) --- He chose a golden eagle, with wings expanded, for his standard. (Xenophon vii.) --- Christ came from heaven to redeem the world, Psalm xviii. 6., and Malachias iv. 2. (Calmet) --- He was the orient, adored by the eastern sages, to whom the prophet refers.
