Isaiah 41:22
_ _ what shall happen — “Let them bring near and declare future contingencies” [Horsley].
_ _ former things ... the latter end of them — show what former predictions the idols have given, that we may compare the event (“latter end”) with them; or give new prophecies (“declare things to come”) (Isaiah 42:9), [Maurer]. Barnes explains it more reconditely, “Let them foretell the entire series of events, showing, in their order, the things which shall first occur, as well as those which shall finally happen”; the false prophets tried to predict isolated events, having no mutual dependency; not a long series of events mutually and orderly connected, and stretching far into futurity. They did not even try to do this. None but God can do it (Isaiah 46:10; Isaiah 44:7, Isaiah 44:8). “Or ... things to come” will, in this view, mean, Let them, if they cannot predict the series, even predict plainly any detached events. |
Isaiah 41:22
Them — The idols. Former things — Such things as should shortly come to pass. The latter end — Whether the events answer to their predictions. |
- and show:
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isaiah 43:9-12 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth. ... I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me.
Isaiah 48:14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
John 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he].
