Isaiah 43:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 43:16

Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea
Who did make a way in the Red sea, when he led Israel through it as on dry land; this, with what follows, is observed to encourage the faith of the Lord's people in the performance of what he had promised, to bring them out of Babylon; for he that had done this, and the rest that are mentioned, could easily remove all difficulties that lay in the way of their deliverance: and a path in the mighty waters;
either of the Red sea, or it may be of Jordan; through which the Israelites passed into the land of Canaan.

Isaiah 43:16 In-Context

14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon and caused fugitives to descend unto all of them and the clamour of Chaldeans in the ships.

15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.

16 Thus saith the LORD, who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters;

17 when he brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall fall together, and never rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as wick.

18 Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.
