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 Ouvi isto, casa de Jacó, que vos chamais do nome de Israel, e saístes dos lombos de Judá, que jurais pelo nome do Senhor, e fazeis menção do Deus de Israel, mas não em verdade nem em justiça.

2 E até da santa cidade tomam o nome, e se firmam sobre o Deus de Israel; o Senhor dos exércitos é o seu nome.

3 Desde a antigüidade anunciei as coisas que haviam de ser; da minha boca é que saíram, e eu as fiz ouvir; de repente as pus por obra, e elas aconteceram.

4 Porque eu sabia que és obstinado, que a tua cerviz é um nervo de ferro, e a tua testa de bronze.

5 Há muito tas anunciei, e as manifestei antes que acontecessem, para que não dissesses: O meu ídolo fez estas coisas, ou a minha imagem de escultura, ou a minha imagem de fundição as ordenou.
