Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:8-13

God here challenges the worshippers of idols to produce such proofs of the divinity of their false gods as even this very instance (to go no further) of the redemption of the Jews out of Babylon furnished the people of Israel with, to prove that their God is the true and living God, and he only. I. The patrons of idolatry are here called to appear, and say what they have to say in defence of their idols, Isa. 43:8, 9. Their gods have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, and those that make... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:14-21

To so low an ebb were the faith and hope of God's people in Babylon brought that there needed line upon line to assure them that they should be released out of their captivity; and therefore, that they might have strong consolation, the assurances of it are often repeated, and here very expressly and encouragingly. I. God here takes to himself such titles of his honour as were very encouraging to them. He is the Lord their Redeemer, not only he will redeem them, but will take it upon him as... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 43:22-28

This charge (and a high charge it is which is here exhibited against Jacob and Israel, God's professing people) comes in here, 1. To clear God's justice in bringing them into captivity, and to vindicate that. Were they not in covenant with him? Had they not his sanctuary among them? Why then did the Lord deal thus with his land? Deut. 29:24. Here is a good reason given: they had neglected God and had cast him off, and therefore he justly rejected them and gave them to the curse (Isa. 43:28);... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:12

I have declared, and I have saved, and I have showed ,.... The Targum is, "I have showed to Abraham your father what should come to pass; I redeemed you out of Egypt, as I swore to him between the pieces; and I caused you to hear the doctrine of the law at Sinai.' But the sense is, that God had declared by his prophets, long before the Messiah came, that he would send him; that he should come and save his people by his obedience, sufferings, and death; accordingly he was come, and was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:13

Yea, before the day was I am he ,.... Before there was a day, before the first day of the creation; that is, before time was, or from all eternity, I am he that resolved upon and contrived this method of saving men; "and ever since that day was" F11 מיום אני הוא "ex quo dies fuit ", Gataker; "ex quo dies esse coepit", Vatablus; "inde a tempore diei", Piscator. הוא "Hu", may be considered here as one of the names of God, who from eternity to eternity is, αυτος , "he", the same... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:14

Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer ,.... That redeemed Israel out of Egypt, and would redeem the Jews from Babylon in a short time, and be the author of a greater redemption to his people than either of these, even a spiritual and eternal one: the Holy One of Israel ; see Isaiah 43:3 , holy in himself, holiness to Israel, and faithful to his promises: for your sake I have sent to Babylon : Cyrus and his army to take it, in order to deliver the Jews from their captivity in it. The... read more

I am the Lord, your Holy One ,.... And therefore need not doubt of the performance of those promises: the Creator of Israel, your King ; and therefore both able and willing to protect them. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:16

Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea ,.... Who did make a way in the Red sea, when he led Israel through it as on dry land; this, with what follows, is observed to encourage the faith of the Lord's people in the performance of what he had promised, to bring them out of Babylon; for he that had done this, and the rest that are mentioned, could easily remove all difficulties that lay in the way of their deliverance: and a path in the mighty waters ; either of the Red sea, or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:17

Which bringeth forth the chariot and the horse, the army and the power ,.... Who brought forth the chariots and horses, and the mighty army of Pharaoh, out of Egypt, to pursue the Israelites into the Red sea, where they were drowned. The present tense is put for the future, as in the preceding verse; the future is put for the past tense in the next clause: they shall lie down together, they shall not rise ; they lay down in the Red sea, where they sunk to the bottom, and perished, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:18

Remember ye not the former things ,.... Just now referred to, the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, and through the Red sea, and the drowning of Pharaoh and his army in it; for though these things were worthy to be remembered with thankfulness and praise, and to the glory of God, and for the encouragement of faith, yet not in comparison of what was hereafter to be done; meaning, not the redemption from Babylon, unless as a type of spiritual and eternal redemption by Christ; for otherwise... read more
