Isaías 43:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 43:5

Fear not, for I am with thee
With thy ministers that preach the everlasting Gospel, to make it effectual to the conversion of many everywhere, as well as to bear thee up under all trials, and to cause thee to stand against all opposition: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
which is to be understood not literally of the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; for these several quarters, east, west, north, and south, will hardly agree with that, though it may be supposed they were scattered in several countries; but spiritually of the gathering in of God's elect, whether Jews or Gentiles, which were scattered abroad throughout the world, called the "seed" of the church, because born to her, and brought up in her, and of which she consists; and therefore she herself is said to be gathered, converts being brought in from all quarters; from the "east", even from India, where the Apostle Thomas is said to preach the Gospel, and from other "eastern" countries; and from the "west", from the European nations, good part of which lay west of Judea. Our Lord seems to have respect to this passage in ( Matthew 8:12 ) .

Isaías 43:5 In-Context

3 Pois eu sou o SENHOR, o seu Deus,o Santo de Israel, o seu Salvador;dou o Egito como resgate para livrá-lo,a Etiópia e Sebá em troca de você.

4 Visto que você é precioso e honrado à minha vista,e porque eu o amo,darei homens em seu lugar,e nações em troca de sua vida.

5 Não tenha medo, pois eu estou com você,do oriente trarei seus filhose do ocidente ajuntarei você.

6 Direi ao norte: ‘Entregue-os!’e ao sul: ‘Não os retenha’.De longe tragam os meus filhos,e dos confins da terra as minhas filhas;

7 todo o que é chamado pelo meu nome,a quem criei para a minha glória,a quem formei e fiz”.
