John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:11

Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker ,.... He whose name alone is Jehovah, who is glorious in holiness, the Sanctifier of his people, and the Maker of them, both as creatures, and new creatures: ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me ; these words are not spoken to idolaters, or the idolatrous Jews, or those of them that were inclined to idolatry; directing them to ask of the Lord, and not of their idols,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:12

I have made the earth ,.... The Targum adds, "by my Word"; the essential Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; see Hebrews 11:3 , this, with what follows, is said to show that the Lord was able to bring to pass things to come, concerning his children, and the works of his hands, which he allowed his people to inquire of him concerning, and to insist upon the performance of them; since he was the Creator of all things, and had made the earth out of nothing, in the beginning of time, by the word of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:13

I have raised him up in righteousness ,.... Though this may be said with some respect to Cyrus, yet chiefly to Christ, of whom Cyrus was a type; him the Lord appointed and determined to be the Saviour and Redeemer of his people; him he sent forth in time for that purpose, in righteousness or faithfulness to concerning him: or, "unto righteousness" F19 בצדק "adjustitiam", V. L. , as the Vulgate Latin version; to bring in an everlasting righteousness for the justification of his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:14

Thus saith the Lord ,.... The following words are said not to Cyrus, nor to Christ, but to the church, as the feminine pronouns show; and Kimchi observes, they are directed to Jerusalem: the labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee ; a prophecy of the conversion of many in these nations, who should join themselves to the churches of Christ, formed among them, and make use of their riches, got by merchandise, labour, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:15

Verily thou art a God that hideth thyself ,.... Who hid himself from the Gentile world for some hundreds of years, who had no knowledge of the true God, lived without him in the world, and whose times of ignorance God overlooked, and suffered them to walk in their own ways; though now he would make himself known by his Gospel sent among them, and blessed for the conversion of them. He is also a God that hides himself from his own people at times, withdraws his gracious presence, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:16

They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them ,.... This refers not to any persons spoken of before; not to Israel or the church, or converts among the Gentiles that came to her; but to those that follow, of whom the same is said in other words: they shall go to confusion together, that are makers of idols ; the Targum is, "worshippers of images;' both may be designed: this refers to the first times of the Gospel, and its coming into the Gentile world, and its success... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 45:17

But Israel shall be saved in the Lord ,.... Not the carnal seed of Israel, or the natural posterity of Jacob, for only a remnant of them were saved; indeed, in the latter day, when there will be a general conversion of them, there will be a general salvation of them, all Israel shall be saved ; but here the spiritual Israel of God are meant, such as God has appointed unto salvation; who are taken into the covenant of his grace, in which their salvation is secured; who are his spiritual... read more
