3 Hace mucho tiempo te dije lo que iba a suceder.
Entonces, de repente entré en acción
y todas mis predicciones se hicieron realidad.

Isaías 48:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 48:3

I have declared the former things from the beginning
From the time of their first ancestors, from the time of Abraham their father, to whom was declared what should befall his posterity; that they should sojourn in Egypt, be afflicted there, and come out from thence with great substance; that they be brought into the land of Canaan, and the inhabitants of it being driven out before them, ( Genesis 15:13-18 ) . And they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them;
they were told to Abraham by word of mouth; they were shown to him in prophecy: I did them suddenly, and they came to pass;
for very quickly these things began to take place, even in Abraham's time; for his seed being a stranger in a land not theirs, and afflicted near four hundred years, must be reckoned from the birth of Isaac; and all which exactly came to pass as was foretold; not one thing which the Lord had spoken of failed; all was punctually fulfilled, ( Joshua 21:45 ) .

Isaías 48:3 In-Context

1 La obstinación del pueblo de Dios
»Escúchame, oh familia de Jacob,
tú que llevas el nombre de Israel
y naciste en la familia de Judá.
Escucha, tú que haces juramentos en el nombre del Señor
e invocas al Dios de Israel.
No cumples tus promesas,

2 aunque te llamas a ti misma la ciudad santa
y dices que confías en el Dios de Israel,
cuyo nombre es el Señor
de los Ejércitos Celestiales.

3 Hace mucho tiempo te dije lo que iba a suceder.
Entonces, de repente entré en acción
y todas mis predicciones se hicieron realidad.

4 Pues yo sé lo terca y obstinada que eres;
tu cuello es tan inflexible como el hierro
y tu cabeza es tan dura como el bronce.

5 Por eso te dije lo que iba a suceder;
te anuncié de antemano lo que iba a hacer.
Así nunca podrías decir: “Mis ídolos lo hicieron;
mi imagen de madera y mi dios de metal ordenaron que sucediera”.
