Isaiah 46:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 46:9

Remember the former things of old
The things that were from the beginning, or the ancient things done by the Lord, whether as the effects of power, wisdom, and goodness, or in wrath, or in mercy; such as the creation of the heavens, and the earth, and all things in them; the destruction of the old world, and of Sodom and Gomorrah; the bringing of Israel out of Egypt through the Red sea and wilderness, to Canaan's land, and all the wondrous things then done for them; which are so many proofs of the true deity of the God of Israel, in opposition to the idols of the Gentiles: for I am God, and there is none else;
as he must needs be what did the above things: I am God, and there is none like me;
for greatness or goodness, or that has done the like things; not one of the gods of the Gentiles.

Isaiah 46:9 In-Context

7 They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him and set him in his place. There he is; he does not move from his place; they cry unto him, and neither does he answer, nor save from the tribulation.
8 Remember this, and be ashamed, bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no one else; I am God, and there is no one like me,
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes my counsel from a far country; I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it; I will also do it.
