Isaiah 44:7
_ _ Who but God can predict future events and declare also the order and time of each (see on Isaiah 41:22, Isaiah 41:23; see on Isaiah 45:21)?
_ _ call — “openly proclaim” (Isaiah 40:6) things to come [Maurer]. Or, “call forth” the event; command that it happen (Isaiah 46:11; Isaiah 48:15), [Barnes].
_ _ set ... in order — There is no chance or confusion; all events occur in the order best fitted to subserve God’s plans.
_ _ for me — It is FOR GOD that all things exist and take place (Revelation 4:11). But Maurer translates, “Let him set it forth (Job 37:19) to me.”
_ _ since ... ancient people — I have given the Jews predictions of the future ever since I appointed them as My people in ancient times; therefore they were qualified to be His witnesses (Isaiah 44:8). As to their being God’s “ancient (everlasting) people,” see Deuteronomy 32:7-9; Jeremiah 31:3; the type of the redeemed Church (Ephesians 1:4). |
Isaiah 44:7
Who — Which of all the Heathen gods. Declare — Shall by his powerful word cause it to be, and by his fore — knowledge declare that it shall be. Set in order — Orderly relate all future events in the same manner as they shall happen. Since — Since I first made man upon earth. The things — Such things as are near at hand, and such as are to come hereafter. |
Isaiah 44:7
And who, as I, shall (g) call, and shall declare it, and set (h) it in order for me, since I appointed the (i) ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let (k) them show to them.
(g) And appoint them that will deliver the Church.
(h) That is, tell me how I should proceed in this.
(i) God calls the Israelites ancient, because he preferred them to all others in his eternal election.
(k) Meaning, their idols. |
