Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 41:1-29

In the forty-first chapter of Isaiah in the first part of the chapter, God begins His predictions concerning Cyrus who was not yet born. A man who was not to be born for a hundred and fifty years. But God begins to talk about him. How he's going to raise him up. How he's going to prosper him. How he's going to give him a kingdom and subdue nations before him. As we progress in our study tonight, we'll find that God actually names him. "In order to prove that I'm really God, there's no one else... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 41:1-29

Isaiah 41:1 . Keep silence before me, oh islands. Commentators here refer us to the time of our Saviour’s birth, for the isles of Chittim designate the Roman power. In the Augustan age, the temple of Janus for the third time was shut, in commemoration of peace throughout the world, and when the stormy shouts of war were heard no more. Thus, when the fulness of time was come, providence prepared the way, by peace and concord, for the Saviour’s advent. Christian doctors seem agreed, that... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 41:10

Isaiah 41:10Fear thou not; for I am with thee“Fear thou not!”I.THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH GOD ADDRESSES HIS PEOPLE. They are poor and needy. It is necessary that God should have room in which to work. Emptiness to receive Him; weakness to be empowered by Him. It is into the empty branch that the vine-sap pours; into the hollowed basin that the water flows; the weakness of the child gives scope for the man’s strength. II. THE ASSURANCES THAT HE MAKES TO THEM. No height, however bare, nor depth,... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:8-10

8-10. The sarcasm is now that of silence; the idol does not speak. There is therefore no farce of waiting for a reply, but Jehovah turns his address at once to Israel, who recognises the sole invisible deity in his own Lord Jehovah of Israel. Thou, Israel, art my servant The Lord’s address is in terms of affection. The collective body of Israel is God’s servant, chosen servant, in the person of their ancestor Abraham, Jehovah’s friend, or the one (literally) loving Jehovah. Special... read more
