The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:8

The Divine choices are wise selections. Abraham and Jacob are God's chosen ones as founders, and first fathers, of the Israelite race. By this we are to understand that they were selected, in the Divine wisdom, as having just the qualities which, developed in a race, would make a people precisely fitted to carry out ibis purposes. We are not to understand that, in a way of accident, or in a way of mere sovereignty, these first fathers were picked out. God's choices are never arbitrary;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:8-9

His grace and our heritage. We are reminded here of— I. THE SENSE IN WHICH GOD HAS CHOSEN US . "Jacob, whom I have chosen … I have chosen thee." The way in which God's ancient people were chosen of God is familiar biblical history. Abraham was called out of Chaldea, Israel (the people) out of Egypt, the Jews out of Babylonia, in order that they might receive, retain, and reflect the truth of the living God; in other words, this nation was the recipient of those... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:8-13

The blessed condition of Israel. I. ISRAEL IS THE SERVANT OF JEHOVAH . There can be no higher title of honour, privilege, affection, than son. Though the designation reminds us of the infinite distance between God and man, in another way it reminds us of his nearness. The Master and Lord is here the loving and protecting Patron and Friend; the servant, one who reciprocates his affection. They are the descendants of Abraham, who "loved God." The title "reminds the Jews that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:8-20

A PROMISE TO ISRAEL OF GOD 'S PROTECTION AND SUPPORT THROUGH THE TROUBLOUS PERIOD THAT IS APPROACHING . Israel is assured The eye of the prophet travels perhaps, in part, beyond the period of the Captivity; but he is mainly bent on giving the people grounds of comfort and trust during that trying time. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:9

Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth ; i.e. from Ur of the Chaldees (Mugheir in Lower Babylonia), and again from Egypt, another "end of the earth" compared with Palestine. The prophet views Palestine as Israel's true habitat , whatever may be its temporary abiding-place. From the chief men thereof . Most moderns translate "from the corners thereof;" but atsilim has the meaning of "chief men" in the only other place where it occurs ( Exodus 24:11 ). And not cast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not . This verse is most closely connected with the two preceding. The clauses in Isaiah 41:8 , Isaiah 41:9 are one and all vocative; here the verb follows. The whole passage is one of great tenderness. I am with thee, on the force of the word" Immanuel"). I will strengthen thee ; rather, I have strengthened thee , or I have chosen thee (Delitzsch, Cheyne). The two other verbs are also in the past tense. While primarily they declare past favours, they may also be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:10

The supreme promise. "I am with thee." This assurance is the application of that truth of God's infinite superiority to all idols on which the prophet has been, sometimes so seriously, and sometimes so scornfully, dwelling. Here is the argument—God is God alone. He is your God. He is with you. It is a promise specially adapted to the apparently helpless and hopeless condition of Israel in Babylon. There was no relief to the darkness that hung about them, but there was this comfort in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 41:10-14

God our Strength. Israel in captivity, hoping for return from exile, but fearing lest its enemies should prevail and the desire of its heart be defeated, might well delight in such reassuring words as these. In the battle and burden of our life we also gladly welcome them to our hearts. I. SOURCES OF DISQUIETUDE . 1 . The strength of the forces which are against us. "All they that were incensed against thee;" "they that strive with thee;" "they that war against thee." We may... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 41:2

Who raised up - This word (העיר hē‛yr) is usually applied to the act of arousing one from sleep Song of Solomon 2:7; Song of Solomon 3:5; Song of Solomon 8:4; Zechariah 4:1; then to awake, arouse, or stir up to any enterprise. Here it means, that God had caused the man here referred to, to arouse for the overthrow of their enemies; it was by his agency that he had been led to form the plans which should result in their deliverance. This is the first argument which God urges to induce his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 41:3

He pursued them - When they were driven away. He followed on, and devoted them to discomfiture and ruin.And passed safely - Margin, as Hebrew, ‘In peace.’ That is, he followed them uninjured; they had no power to rally, he was not led into ambush, and he was safe as far as he chose to pursue them.Even by the way that he had not gone with his feet - By a way that he had not been accustomed to march; in an unusual journey; in a land of strangers. Cyrus had passed his early years on the east of... read more
