Isaiah 44:21-28 - Exposition

ISRAEL ONCE MORE PROMISED DELIVERANCE , AND THE DELIVERER MENTIONED BY NAME . Israel, having been exhorted never to forget the impotency of idols ( Isaiah 44:21 ), is promised forgiveness and deliverance ( Isaiah 44:21 , Isaiah 44:22 ). Then, heaven and earth are called upon to join in rejoicing over the announcement ( Isaiah 44:23 ). Finally, in a noble burst of poetry, God is represented as solemnly declaring his intention of frustrating all the false sayings of the soothsayers concerning his people, and accomplishing their restoration to their own land, and the rebuilding of their temple through the instrumentality of Cyrus ( Isaiah 44:24-28 ).
