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 carry the idol on their shoulders and support it; they set it down, and it stands still, unable to move from its place. If one cries out to it, it doesn't answer. It can't save people from their distress.

8 Remember this and take courage; take it to heart, you rebels.

9 Remember the prior things—from long ago; I am God, and there's no other. I am God! There's none like me,

10 who tells the end at the beginning, from ancient times things not yet done, saying, "My plan will stand; all that I decide I will do,"

11 I call a bird of prey from the east, a man from a distant land for my plan. As surely as I have spoken, I'll make it happen; I have planned, and yes, I'll do it.
