Isaiah 43:10-13 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

How truly blessed are these verses in relation to the witnesses of Jehovah! The people saved by the Lord are his witnesses, his prophets are his witnesses, and yet, above all, the Lord Christ, as Jehovah's servant, is his witness. So Jehovah declared him to be, when he said, I have given him for a witness to the people, Isaiah 55:4. Reader, what saith your experience to these divine truths? Are you the Lord's witness, that he hath brought you out of darkness into his marvellous light? And, on the other hand, while you witness for the Lord, doth the Holy Ghost witness with your spirit, that you are a child of God? Romans 8:16. Oh, it is blessed and precious indeed, when we can and do set to our seals that God is true, since none but a self-existing and al mighty God, in covenant in Christ, could save the soul of a poor sinner!

Isaiah 43:10-13

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?b
