Isaías 42:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 42:9

Behold, the former things are come to pass
Which the Lord had foretold in former times, as to Abraham, concerning the affliction of his posterity in Egypt, the bringing them out from thence, and settling them in the land of Canaan; and other things by Moses and Joshua, and other prophets; and by Isaiah; and particularly the captivity of the ten tribes, which was now come to pass in the times of Hezekiah: and new things do I declare;
as the captivity of Judah and Benjamin, and their restoration by Cyrus; and more especially the mission and incarnation of Christ, his sufferings and death, and redemption and salvation by him; which were not only things to come, but new things, famous and excellent ones: before they spring up I tell you of them
or "before they bud forth" {r}; while the seeds of them were under ground, sown in the purposes and decrees of God, he spoke of them in prophecy; and now former prophecies being fulfilled, and new ones delivered out, concerning things of which there was no appearance, and yet there was the greatest reason to believe their accomplishment, from the fulfilment of the former; this must be a strong proof and confirmation of the Lord being the true God, and the only one.

Isaías 42:9 In-Context

7 para que abras los ojos a los ciegos, para que saques de la cárcel a los presos, y de la prisión a los que moran en tinieblas.

8 Yo soy el SEÑOR, ése es mi nombre; mi gloria a otro no daré, ni mi alabanza a imágenes talladas.

9 He aquí, las cosas anteriores se han cumplido, y yo anuncio cosas nuevas; antes que sucedan, os las anuncio.

10 Cantad al SEÑOR un cántico nuevo, cantad su alabanza desde los confines de la tierra, los que descendéis al mar y cuanto hay en él, las islas y sus moradores.

11 Levanten la voz el desierto y sus ciudades, las aldeas donde habita Cedar. Canten de júbilo los habitantes de Sela, desde las cimas de los montes griten de alegría.
