Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 43:18

_ _ So wonderful shall be God’s future interpositions in your behalf, that all past ones shall be forgotten in comparison. Plainly the future restoration of Israel is the event ultimately meant. Thus the “former things” are such events as the destruction of Sennacherib and the return from Babylon. “Things of old” are events still more ancient, the deliverance from Egypt and at the Red Sea, and entry into Canaan [Vitringa].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 43:14-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 43:18

Remember not — Tho' your former deliverance out of Egypt was glorious: yet in comparison of that inestimable mercy of sending the Messiah, all your former deliverances are scarce worthy of your remembrance and consideration.
