F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-13

Jehovah’s Witnesses Isaiah 43:1-13 The magnificent conception of Isaiah 43:1-28 underlies this. We have still the convocation of mankind, summoned to decide whether Jehovah or some idol god shall be recognized as the supreme deity. In the arena are rows of helpless images rich in paint and tinsel, but mute and helpless, Isaiah 43:8-9 . Jehovah, to vindicate His claims, calls into the witness box His Chosen People, that they may tell what they have known, tasted, and handled, of the Word of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 43:1-28

Following the manifesto, we have in the next three chapters a series of messages of Jehovah. The first declares His perpetual purpose for His people. His constant attitude of love is affirmed in promises which gain their force from the fact that they glance back at past deliverances. Passing through waters, and through rivers, walking through fire, they are to be safe, for they have been safe in such conditions. Then deliverance is definitely promised, in which the north must give up, and the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:8-13

God Declares That Only His People Can Be Witnesses to What He Is (Isaiah 43:8-13 ). Isaiah 43:8-9 ‘Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, And the deaf people who have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, And let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this? And show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be shown to be right, Or let them hear, and say, “It is the truth”. The call now goes out to any who can do what Yahweh has done and give... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 43:8-13

Isaiah 43:8-1 Chronicles : . Israel Called by Yahweh as His Witness before the Nations.— The scene is again a court of justice. The nations, Yahweh’ s opponents, are already assembled (read “ are” for “ let be” ). Yahweh commands His people to be summoned as witnesses for Him. Blind as Israel may have been to the deeper significance of Yahweh’ s actions, yet even she has eyes to see the facts of history. What god can forecast and announce the future as Yahweh has done? Let them produce any... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:8

The sense is either, 1. Bring out of captivity my people who were blind and deaf, but now have their eyes and cars opened by my grace. So this verse relates to the foregoing passages. Or rather, 2. O ye idolatrous Gentiles, produce and bring forth your false gods, which have eyes, but see not; and ears, but hear not, as is said, Psalms 115:5,Psalms 115:6. So this verse belongs to the following context, in which God reneweth his contest with idols; which in this verse he calleth blind, and in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:9

Let the people be assembled, to plead the cause of their idols with me. Who among them can declare this? this wonderful work of mine in bringing my people out of captivity, which I have already foretold, and shall further declare; and that so exactly, that I shall name the person by whom this work shall be begun, even Cyrus, who is yet unborn, and shall be so for above two hundred years: let any of your heathen gods do the like. Former things, not things already past, but such things as shall... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:10

Ye are my witnesses; they can produce no witnesses for themselves, but you my people are able to witness for me, that I have given you many plain demonstrations of my certain foreknowledge of future events, by my predictions and promises delivered to you from time to time. My servant whom I have chosen; either, 1. Isaiah, and other prophets, the singular word being put collectively: or, 2. Cyrus, who is an eminent instance and proof of God’s foreknowledge: or, 3. The Messiah, as not only... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:11

That can and doth save his worshippers: whereby he implies that the false gods were not only weak, and unable to save their people, but also were the destroyers of their people, as being the great cause of their ruin. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 43:12

I have declared, and have saved; I first foretold your deliverance, and then effected it. I have showed; I foretold it. This branch he repeated, because this is the principal argument used here, and Isaiah 41:0, to determine this controversy between God and idols. When there was no strange god among you; and this I did when you did not worship any idols, and therefore it could not be pretended that you had this knowledge from them. read more
