Isaías 44:24-28

24 Así dice el SEÑOR, tu Redentor, el que te formó desde el seno materno: Yo, el SEÑOR, creador de todo, que extiendo los cielos yo solo y afirmo la tierra sin ayuda;

25 hago fallar los pronósticos de los impostores, hago necios a los adivinos, hago retroceder a los sabios, y convierto en necedad su sabiduría.

26 Yo soy el que confirmo la palabra de su siervo, y cumplo el propósito de sus mensajeros; el que dice de Jerusalén: "Será habitada"; y de las ciudades de Judá: "Serán reedificadas, y sus ruinas levantaré";

27 el que dice a la profundidad del mar: "Sécate"; y yo secaré tus ríos.

28 El que dice de Ciro: "El es mi pastor, y él cumplirá todos mis deseos", y dice de Jerusalén: "Será reedificada", y al templo: "Serás fundado."

Isaías 44:24-28 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 44

In this chapter the Lord comforts his people with the promise of the effusion of his Spirit, and the blessings of his grace upon them; the consequence of which would be fruitfulness in them, and the conversion of others, who should profess themselves the Lord's people, Isa 44:1-5, he proves his deity in opposition to all false gods from his eternity, omniscience, and foretelling future events, Isa 44:6-8, exposes the stupidity of idol makers and the worshippers of them, Isa 44:9-20, makes gracious promises of the remembrance of his people, the remission of their sins, and their redemption by Christ, Isa 44:21-23, of which redemption from Babylon was a type; and of that assurance is given, from the Lord's creating all things by his power; from his frustrating and infatuating diviners and wise men; from his fulfilling his predictions delivered by his prophets; and from his mentioning by name the instrument of their redemption, Cyrus, Isa 44:24-28, which makes way for a particular prophecy concerning him in the next chapter.
