Isaiah 44:8
_ _ be afraid — literally, “be astounded,” or “distracted with fear.”
_ _ from that time — namely, from the time that “I appointed the ancient people” (Isaiah 44:7). From the time of Abraham’s call, his family were the depositories of the predictions of the Redeemer, whereas the promise of Cyrus was not heard of till Isaiah’s time; therefore, the event to the prediction and accomplishment of which God appeals in proof of His sole Godhead, is the redemption of man by a descendant of Abraham, in whose person “the ancient people” was first formally “appointed.” The deliverance of the Jews, by Cyrus, is mentioned afterwards only as an earnest of that greater mercy [Horsley].
_ _ no God — Hebrew, tsur, “rock” (Deuteronomy 32:4); that is, a stronghold to take refuge in, and a solid foundation to build on. |
Isaiah 44:8
Ye — Thee, O Israel, whom he bids not to fear. Told thee — Even from the first ages of the world. Declared — Have published it to the world in my sacred records. Witnesses — Both of my predictions, and of the exact agreeableness of events to them. |
Isaiah 44:8
Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared [it]? (l) ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a God besides me? verily, [there is] no God; I know not [any].
(l) Read (Isaiah 43:10). |
