Isaiah 45:11Thus saith the Lord . . . Ask MePrayer and criticism“Ask Me, but do not criticise Me.” “Command Me” must mean “leave to My care.” (Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)Encouragement to pray from the names of God“The Lord”--that is, God in His everlasting redemptive purpose; “the Holy One of Israel”--that is, the moral perfections of Israel’s God, as contrasted with the abominations perpetrated under the sanction of heathen religions; “his Maker”--suggesting the purpose which from the clay... read more

Isaiah 45:12I have made the earthNature and Scripture (with Isaiah 45:22):--The study of Nature reveals a Creator.This is the order: God, creation, fishes, animals, men, women, the human race, the culture of the soil, the building of cities, the navigation of the sea, and, in course of ages, the formation of society as we know it. But man as a moral agent required moral laws; having also a capacity for religion, he needed spiritual light. This made revelation from above necessary. Mankind have... read more

Isaiah 45:14Surely God is in theeJehovah Himself present in His ChurchI.THE DIGNITY OF THE CHURCH. One cannot wonder that Solomon should have been overwhelmed with astonishment when Jehovah promised His presence in the temple that had just been erected for His worship and glory. But there is a nobler temple building for God--even that Church which is composed of living stones. It is to the presence of God therein that the text refers, and in vouch-sating His presence we may remark that Jehovah... read more

Isaiah 45:15Verily Thou art a God that hidest ThyselfThe mystery of God’s ways1.Isaiah’s mind is impressed with the fact that if God is “the God of Israel and the Saviour,” He does some things scarcely in apparent consistency with that character. How many times did He abandon His people Israel to their enemies! And how was He about to suffer them to be led captive into Babylon for a long threescore years and ten! And even when His ways to them were evidently merciful and kind, God’s acts of... read more

Isaiah 45:17But Israel shall be saved in the LordA forecast of the Messianic ageAs is usual in the prophets, the perfect dispensation, or what is called the Messianic age, is conceived as issuing immediately from the historical crisis which is the subject of the prophecy--in this case, the deliverance from Babylon.(Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)Israel saved in the LordI. THE GLORIOUS OBJECT. Everlasting salvation in the Lord. 1. Includes deliverance from ignorance, guilt, &c., and the possession... read more

Isaiah 45:18-25For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens.How God reveals HimselfThe main current of the section may be thus expressed--I. GOD’S REVELATION OF HIMSELF IS OPEN AND TRUTHFUL. He has not spoken in secret; and He has not bid men seek Him in vain. II. GOD’S REVELATION OF HIMSELF IS IN REFERENCE TO THE HIGHEST PRACTICAL OBJECTS. “Seek ye My face; look unto Me, and be ye saved; He is a just God and a Saviour.” III. GOD’S REVELATION OF HIMSELF IS TO ISSUE IN THE SALVATION OF THE... read more

Isaiah 45:19I have not spoken in secret“In a dark place of the earth,” “In a dark place of the earth,” is an expression used for the purpose of pointing out the contrast between the prophecies of Jehovah and the heathen cave, oracles and spirit-voices of the necromancers, which seemed to rise up from the interior of the earth.(C. Short, M. A.)God’s speech to menTwo thoughts branch off--1. Prophecy, proceeding from Him is a thing of the light, no black art, essentially different from heathen... read more

Isaiah 45:21-22A Just God and a SaviourThe just God and the SaviourTo human apprehension, light and darkness are not more opposed than justice and mercy.We cannot conceive how they possibly can meet together. But God’s ways are not our ways; He is “a just God,” leaving not the smallest possibility of escape for the smallest sin; and He is” a Saviour,” freely and completely pardoning the most atrocious sinner. I. GOD IS A JUST GOD. The law of God is holy, and just, and good. It is man’s plain,... read more

Isaiah 45:22Look unto MeTurning to God“Turn ye to Me and be saved.” The first imperative exhorts, the second promises. Jehovah desires two things--1. All men’s turning to Him. 2. Their blessedness by so doing. (P. Delitzch, D. D.)LookThe word does not correspond exactly to the English “look,” but denotes the act of turning round in order to look in a different direction. The text, therefore, bears a strong analogy to those in which the heathen, when enlightened, are described as turning from... read more
