ISAIAH CHAPTER 40 The prophet having now foretold the Babylonish captivity, Isaiah 39:6,7, doth here arm his people against it by the consideration of their certain deliverance out of it, and their blessed condition after it, as in other things, so especially in the coming of the Messiah, and the great and glorious privileges conferred upon God's church and people in his days. The preaching of the gospel by John Baptist and the apostles, Isaiah 40:1-11. The power and wisdom of God in governing the world Isaiah 40:12-17. The folly of idolatry, Isaiah 40:18-26. God knoweth the state of his people, and both can and will protect them, Isaiah 40:27-31. Ye prophets and ministers of the Lord, which now are, or hereafter shall be, deliver this comfortable message from me to my people, that they may not sink under their burdens.
