Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 41:1-7

Isaiah 41:1-Deuteronomy : . The Conquering Career of Cyrus Claimed by Yahweh as Evidence of His Power. Isaiah 41:5 is probably an insertion made to connect Isaiah 41:4 with Isaiah 41:6 f. after Isaiah 41:6 f.— for which see Isaiah 40:19— had been wrongly interpolated here. Yahweh calls the nations to listen while He, as though they might be in a court of justice, puts forward His claim. He it is who has raised up Cyrus, and caused nations to bow before him: He who ordains the whole course of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 41:5

The isles, even remote countries, as Isaiah 41:1, saw it; discerned the mighty work of God in delivering his people, and overthrowing their enemies, in so wonderful a manner. Feared, lest they should be involved in the same calamity, as being conscious to themselves that they also were enemies to God’s people. Drew near, and came; they gathered themselves together to consult for their common safety, and to maintain the cause of their idols, whom by this instance they perceived in great... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 41:5-7

LESSONS FROM THE HEATHEN WORKERSIsaiah 41:5-7. The isles saw it, and feared. &c.These verses indicate the state of feeling which was created among the heathen nations by the rapid and victorious career of Cyrus. They remind us—1. That a sense of common danger promotes fraternal feeling and activity (Isaiah 41:5-6). This has been often witnessed in the history of communities. Persecution, oppression, danger, will frequently unite them in one great movement for defence and safety, and thus... 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

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

Isaiah 41:6-7They helped every one his neighbour.--Idolatry the subject of sarcasm:The sarcasm consists in making the idolaters dependent upon idols which are themselves dependent upon common workmen and the most trivial mechanical operations for their form and their stability. Hence the particular enumeration of the different artificers employed in the manufacture of these deities. The last clause implies that the strength of the idol is not in itself, but in the nails that keep it in its... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 41:5

Isa 41:5 The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. Ver. 5. The isles saw it. ] The heathens were convinced by the former arguments, yet not converted; they were afraid, and yet they came together to confirm themselves mutually in their abominable idolatries. Yea, they drew near. ] As it were, to justify their idolatries before the Lord. Such is the desperate obstinace of obdurate sinners. Pharaoh menaced Moses, even during that palpable darkness.... read more
