Isaiah 45:22 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Look unto me, and be ye saved. The second imperative expresses the result which will follow obedience to the first (Genesis 42:18; 'by looking unto me ye shall be saved,' John 3:14-15; Numbers 21:9, "if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived"). What so simple as a look? Not do something, but look to the Saviour (Acts 16:30-31). Believers look by faith, the eye of the soul. The look is that of one turning the face (penu eelai) to God, as at once 'Just and the Saviour' (Isaiah 45:21) - i:e., the look of conversion (Psalms 22:27).
