Isaiah 44:6 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-8

Two great truths are abundantly made out in these verses:? I. That the people of God are a happy people, especially upon account of the covenant that is between them and God. The people of Israel were so as a figure of the gospel Israel. Three things complete their happiness:? 1. The covenant-relations wherein they stand to God, Isa. 44:1, 2. Israel is here called Jeshurun?the upright one; for those only, like Nathanael, are Israelites indeed, in whom is no guile, and those only shall have the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:6

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel ,.... The King of the whole world, and Governor among the nations; and in a peculiar manner King of Israel, that nation being a theocracy; and especially King of spiritual Israel, or King of saints, be they of what nation they will: and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts ; who redeemed Israel out of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and would again redeem them from the Babylonish captivity, and the whole Israel of God from sin, Satan, and the law;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:6

The Lord the King of Israel . Therefore entitled to Israel's allegiance (comp. Isaiah 43:15 ). And his Redeemer; i.e. Israel's Redeemer—he who had redeemed them from Egyptian bondage—who will redeem them from the power of Babylon—who, best of all, will redeem them from their sins. The First … the Last (comp. Isaiah 41:4 , with the comment). Beside me there is no God . This had been distinctly asserted in the Law ( Deuteronomy 4:35 , Deuteronomy 4:39 ; Deuteronomy 32:39 ); but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:6-20

A FURTHER CONTRAST OF GOD WITH IDOLS . The captive Jews, dwelling scattered in a land the inhabitants of which were, one and all, idolaters, and having by hereditary taint an inclination to idolatry, would be easily tempted, during the long and weary period of the Captivity, to put away the worship and even the thought of Jehovah, who had allowed their subjugation, and conform to the religion of their conquerors. Hence the repeated contrasts in these later chapters—specially... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 44:6-28

Jehovah and the images. I. SELF - MANIFESTATION OF JEHOVAH . He is the First and the Last, Alpha and Omega. Existing before the creation, he will endure when it shall have passed away ( Isaiah 48:12 ). It is a thought which strikes us at once by its sublimity, anal, what is better, with its truth. Men sometimes speak of the material world as real, of the world of faith and imagination as dreamy. Not so the greatest prophets and poets. Shakespeare describes the globe and all its... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 44:6

Thus saith the Lord - This commences, as I suppose (see Analysis), the argument to prove that Yahweh is the only true God, and that the idols were vanity. The object is, to show to the Jews, that he who had made to them such promises of protection and deliverance was able to perform what he had pledged himself to do.The King of Israel - (See the notes at Isaiah 41:21).And his Redeemer - (See the notes at Isaiah 43:1).The Lord of hosts - (See the notes at Isaiah 1:9).I am the first - (See the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 44:6-8

Isaiah 44:6-8. Thus saith the Lord, &c. Here God renews his contest with idols, which he insists an so often, and so much, because his own people were exceeding prone to idolatry. And who Which of all the heathen gods; shall call, and shall declare it Shall, by his powerful call, cause a future event to be, and, by his infinite foreknowledge, declare that it shall be. And set it in order for me Orderly relate all future events in the same manner as they shall happen. Since I... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:1-28

Israel’s God and man-made gods (44:1-28)Not only is God willing to forgive his people, but he wants to pour out the power of his Spirit upon them so that new spiritual life will spring up within them. This will enable them to evangelize the Gentiles, who will then join the descendants of Jacob in worshipping the God of Israel (44:1-5). Israel’s redeemer is the only God. He knows the end from the beginning and his people can depend on him always (6-8).In contrast to the one true and living God... read more
