Isaiah 51:2
_ _ alone — translate, “I called him when he was but one” (Ezekiel 33:24). The argument is: the same God who had so blessed “one” individual, as to become a mighty nation (Genesis 12:1; Genesis 22:7), can also increase and bless the small remnant of Israel, both that left in the Babylonish captivity, and that left in the present and latter days (Zechariah 14:2); “the residue” (Isaiah 13:8, Isaiah 13:9). |
Isaiah 51:2
Him alone — To follow me to an unknown land: him only of all his kindred. Increased — Into a vast multitude, when his condition was desperate in the eye of reason. And therefore God can as easily raise his church when they are in the most forlorn condition. |
