Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 43:2

DISCOURSE: 932THE SAINTS ARE WITNESSES FOR GODYe are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.GOD is a jealous God, and cannot endure that any other should be put in competition with him. Hence he takes frequent occasion to reprove the idolatry into which his people were ever prone to relapse. He shews them the folly of cutting down a tree, and kindling a fire with part of the wood, and roasting their food with it, and then fashioning another part of the same tree into the image of a man,... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Isaiah 43:2

Fire! Fire! Fire! June 23rd, 1861 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Isaiah 43:2 . Before we explain the metaphor of the text, it may be well for us to remark that we are not sufficiently grateful, I fear, for the preservation which God affords to us from fire. To be startled at the dead of night with the alarming cry, and to find one's self and children and goods in danger of being... read more

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

Isaiah 43:1-4But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O JacobThe true relation of Israel to JehovahThe main subject of this chapter is the true relation of Israel to Jehovah, and its application in the way both of warning and encouragement.The doctrine taught is that their segregation from the rest of men, as a peculiar people, was an act of sovereignty, independent of all merit in themselves, and not even intended for their benefit exclusively, but for the accomplishment of God’s... read more

Isaiah 43:2When thou passest through the watersThrough water and fire.I. Notice the frank and matter-of-course way in which your AFFLICTIONS AND TRIALS are mentioned. “The waters,” “the rivers,” “the fire,” “the flame”; it takes it for granted that you will meet with some or all of them before you have finished your course, and they are mentioned in a way, too, that will not suffer you to think lightly of them. “Waters,” many of them, and may be deep; “rivers,” rushing calamities that threaten... read more

Isaiah 43:3For I am the Lord thy GodJehovah’s valuation of His peopleI.THE LORD’S DECLARATION OF HIS OWN NAME. “I am Jehovah thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour.” He gives His name thus to distinguish Himself from false gods. He also sets forth His name at large, for the comfort of His people. There is something in every name of God which may breed faith in our souls. I think He also does it to excite our wonder mad gratitude. Let us devoutly think of each of these names separately. I.... read more
