Isaiah 45:14
_ _ The language but cursorily alludes to Egypt, Ethiopia, and Seba, being given to Cyrus as a ransom in lieu of Israel whom he restored (Isaiah 43:3), but mainly and fully describes the gathering in of the Gentiles to Israel (Acts 2:10, Acts 2:11; Acts 8:27-38), especially at Israel’s future restoration (Isaiah 2:2; Isaiah 14:1, Isaiah 14:2; Isaiah 19:18-22; Isaiah 60:3-14; Isaiah 49:23; Psalms 68:31; Psalms 72:10, Psalms 72:11).
_ _ labour — wealth acquired by labor (Jeremiah 3:24).
_ _ Sabeans ... of stature — the men of Meroe, in Upper Egypt. Herodotus (3.30) calls the Ethiopians “the tallest of men” (see on Isaiah 18:2; see on 1 Chronicles 11:23).
_ _ thee — Jerusalem (“my city,” Isaiah 45:13).
_ _ in chains — (Psalms 149:8). “The saints shall judge the world” (1 Corinthians 6:2) and “rule the nations with a rod of iron” (Zechariah 14:12-19; Revelation 2:26, Revelation 2:27). The “chains,” in the case of the obedient, shall be the easy yoke of Messiah; as “the sword of the Spirit” also is saving to the believer, condemnatory to the unbeliever (John 12:48; Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 19:15).
_ _ God is in thee — (Jeremiah 3:19). |
Isaiah 45:14
The labour — The wealth gotten by their labour. Thee — Jerusalem shall not only be rebuilt, but the wealth and glory of other countries shall be brought to it again. This was in part verified in Jerusalem; but it was much more fully accomplished in the church of the gospel, in the accession of the Gentiles to that church which began in Jerusalem, and from thence spread itself into all the parts of the world. Come over — They shall be taken captive by thee, and willingly submit themselves to thee. |
Isaiah 45:14
Thus saith the LORD, The labour (r) of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to thee, and they shall be (s) thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to thee, they shall make supplication to thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else, [there is] no God.
(r) These people were tributaries to the Persians, and so king Artahshashte gave this money toward the building of the temple, (Ezra 7:27).
(s) While they were your enemies, they will now honour you and you will rule them: which was accomplished in the time of Christ. |

And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
