The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 43:8-13

Jehovah The True God And Only Savior v. 8. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes and the deaf that have ears, namely, to appear before the tribunal; for in spite of their spiritual blindness the children of Israel have had the opportunity to observe certain facts with their senses, to which they may now testify. v. 9. Let all the nations be gathered together and let the people be assembled, the Gentiles from all over the world; who among them can declare this and show us former things?... read more

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 43:11

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

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 43:11

ONE LORD AND SAVIOUR(Missionary Sermon.)Isaiah 43:11. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside Me there is no Saviour.I. This is a declaration that is now needless in many parts of the world. All the civilised nations are convinced that, if there is a God at all, there is only one God. What an intellectual advance! In Isaiah’s time, the monotheists were in a miserable minority. All the great nations had their god or gods. The depressed condition of the worshippers of JEHOVAH seemed to most people a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 43:1-28

But yet, God is going to restore them. Chapter 43 gets in the restoration.But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, and the Holy One... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 43:1-28

Isaiah 43:1 . The Lord that created thee, oh Jacob. Not only in the first creation, but when Sarah, and when Rebecca were barren, I gave them power to become mothers. I have also created and formed thee into a nation; thy disobedience therefore is left without excuse. Isaiah 43:3 . I gave Egypt for thy ransom. Those nations were nearly destroyed, in order to effect the emancipation of Israel. God most remarkably diverted the Assyrian invasion from Judea to an attack upon Egypt. Isaiah... read more
