Isaiah 43:10
_ _ Ye — the Jews, to whom I have given predictions, verified by the event; and in delivering whom I have so often manifested My power (see Isaiah 43:3, Isaiah 43:4; Isaiah 44:8).
_ _ and my servant — that is, the whole Jewish people (Isaiah 41:8).
_ _ believe — trust in.
_ _ formed — before I existed none of the false gods were formed. “Formed” applies to the idols, not to God. Revelation 1:11 uses the same language to prove the Godhead of Jesus, as Isaiah here to prove the Godhead of Jehovah. |

Nor after me — The gods of the Heathens neither had a being before me nor shall continue after me: whereas the Lord is God from everlasting to everlasting; but these pretenders are but of yesterday. And withal he calls them formed gods, in a way of contempt, and to shew the ridiculousness of their pretence. |
