Bible Question: what was true significance of Isaiah 43:1? |
Bible Answer: Judah’s exile was pictured as drawing to a close (40:2) for the Lord was raising up a leader who would release them (41:2-4, 25). God would also raise up a Servant, the Messiah, to give them spiritual release (42:1-17). However, the nation was still in spiritual captivity (42:18-25). Now the Lord exhorted the nation not to fear (43:1-7) for their condition would show the world that He is truly the only God (43:8-13). He would restore them from Babylon, bringing them back home in a new “Exodus” (43:14-28). Therefore He said again they were not to fear (44:1-5). —Excerpt from Bible Knowledge Commentary EdB |
