Isaías 48:15 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 48:15

I, even I, have spoken
What I will do, and what shall certainly come to pass; for not one word of the Lord ever fails; what he has spoken he will make good; what he has said to his Son in his council, and in covenant, or has delivered out by promise or prophecy, ( Numbers 23:19 ) : yea, I have called him;
not Abraham, as the Targum; but Cyrus, whom he called by name, as well as called him to his work and office as a deliverer of his people, ( Isaiah 45:4 ) and so he called Christ also to his work and office, which he did not take to himself, but was called of God, ( Hebrews 5:4 Hebrews 5:5 ) : I have brought him; from a far country, from Persia to Babylon; and who has also brought forth his servant, the branch, the Messiah, ( Zechariah 3:8 ) : and he shall make his way prosperous;
or "his way shall be prosperous" {m}; being made so by the Lord, who directed his way, and removed all difficulties and obstructions in it, ( Isaiah 45:1-3 Isaiah 45:5 Isaiah 45:13 ) and so the pleasure of the Lord has prospered in the hands of Christ, who has succeeded in the work of redemption and salvation he was called to, ( Isaiah 53:11 ) , these are the words of God the Father, confirming what the Messiah said in the preceding, and who is introduced speaking in the next verse.

13 Fue mi mano la que puso los cimientos de la tierra,
mi mano derecha la que extendió los cielos en las alturas.
Cuando llamo a las estrellas para que salgan,
aparecen todas en orden».

14 ¿Alguna vez te ha dicho esto uno de tus ídolos?
Vengan, todos ustedes, y escuchen:
El Señor
ha escogido a Ciro como su aliado;
lo usará para poner fin al imperio de Babilonia
y para destruir a los ejércitos babilónicos.

15 «Lo he dicho: ¡Llamo a Ciro!
Lo enviaré a cumplir este encargo y lo ayudaré para que triunfe.

16 Acérquense y escuchen esto:
desde el principio les he dicho con claridad lo que sucedería».
Ahora, el Señor
Soberano y su Espíritu
me han enviado con este mensaje.

17 Esto dice el Señor
,
tu Redentor, el Santo de Israel:
«Yo soy el Señor
tu Dios,
que te enseña lo que te conviene
y te guía por las sendas que debes seguir.
