SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Isaiah 49 depicts the triumph of God's grace among the Gentiles. The Messiah, personified as Israel, calls the Gentiles to listen because the LORD has made him like a sword and an arrow; and the LORD will be glorified in him (1-4).
     He will bring Israel back to the LORD; and the LORD promised that he would also be a light to the Gentiles (5-6).
     And, in spite of the scorn of others, the Messiah will deliver the prisoners and will bless them and bring them from afar (7-12).
     At this news a refrain of joy breaks out, but not from Zion which feels that the LORD has forgotten her (13-14).
     In reply, the LORD says that even though a woman may forget a sucking child, the son of her womb, yet the LORD will not forget them; they are graven on his hands; and they will be made beautiful like a bride by the glory of the defeat of those who gather against them (15-18).
     Their children will increase; and they will need more territory to house them (19-21).
     It will be the Gentiles, even their kings and queens, who will populate and over-populate their land (22-23).
     The LORD will deliver Israel and destroy their oppressors; and they will know that he is their savior and their Redeemer (24-26).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

2. Post-Exile: The Blessing & Judgment Cycles ( 40:1 - 66:24 ) - 701-681 B.C., Israel
(These 8 groups of prophecies alternate between blessings on Israel and judgment on God's enemies.)


B. Cycle 2 (49:1-26)


1. Blessing: On the LORD's People From the LORD and His Redeemer (49:1-21)
(The Messiah will Enlighten the Heathen and Redeem Israel)


1 Listen, O isles, unto me;
and hearken, ye people, from far;
The LORD hath called me from the womb;
from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me,
and made me a polished shaft;
in his quiver hath he hid me;
3 And said unto me,
Thou art my servant, O Israel,
in whom I will be glorified.
4 Then I said,
I have laboured in vain,
I have spent my strength for nought,
and in vain:
yet surely my judgment is with the LORD,
and my work with my God.


5 And now,
saith the LORD that formed me from the womb
to be his servant,
to bring Jacob again to him,
Though Israel be not gathered,
yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD,
and my God shall be my strength.
6 And he said,
It is a light thing
that thou shouldest be my servant
to raise up [this] the tribes of Jacob,
and to restore the preserved of Israel:
I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles,
that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.


7 Thus saith the LORD,
the Redeemer of Israel,
and his Holy One,
to him whom man despiseth,
to him whom the nation abhorreth,
to a servant of rulers,
Kings shall see and arise,
princes also shall worship,
because of the LORD that is faithful,
and the Holy One of Israel,
and he shall choose thee.
8 Thus saith the LORD,
In an acceptable time have I heard thee,
and in a day of salvation have I helped thee:
and I will preserve thee,
and give thee for a covenant of the people,
to establish the earth,
to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners,
Go forth;
to them that are in darkness,
Shew yourselves.
They shall feed in the ways,
and their pastures shall be in all high places.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst;
neither shall the heat nor sun smite them:
for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them,
even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a way,
and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Behold,
these shall come from far:
and, lo,
these from the north
and from the west;
and these from the land of Sinim.


13 Sing, O heavens;
and be joyful, O earth;
and break forth into singing, O mountains:
for the LORD hath comforted his people,
and will have mercy upon his afflicted.


14 But Zion said,
The LORD hath forsaken me,
and my Lord hath forgotten me.


15 Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
yea,
they may forget,
yet will I not forget thee.
16 Behold,
I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;
thy walls are continually before me.
17 Thy children shall make haste;
thy destroyers
and they that made thee waste
shall go forth of thee.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about,
and behold:
all these gather themselves together,
and come to thee.
As I live,
saith the LORD,
thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all,
as with an ornament,
and bind them on thee,
as a bride doeth.


19 For thy waste and thy desolate places,
and the land of thy destruction,
shall even now be too narrow
by reason of the inhabitants,
and they that swallowed thee up
shall be far away.
20 The children which thou shalt have,
after thou hast lost the other,
shall say again in thine ears,
The place is too strait for me:
give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Then shalt thou say in thine heart,
Who hath begotten me [this] -- these,
seeing I have lost my children,
and am desolate,
a captive,
and removing to and fro?
and who hath bought up these?
Behold,
I was left alone;
these,
where had they been?


2. Judgment: On Nations Which Oppress God's People (49:22-26)


22 Thus saith the Lord GOD,
Behold,
I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,
and set up my standard to the people:
and they shall bring thy sons in their arms,
and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers,
and their queens thy nursing mothers:
they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth,
and lick up the dust of thy feet;
and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.


24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,
or the lawful captive delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD,
Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,
and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered:
for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee,
and I will save thy children.
26 And I will feed [this] --
them that oppress thee
with [this] their own flesh;
and they shall be drunken
with their own blood,
as with sweet wine:
and all flesh shall know that I the LORD
am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer,
the mighty One of Jacob.
