Isaiah 44:6-23

Isaiah 44:6-23. The Reality of Jehovah's Godhead, evinced by His Predictions, and contrasted with the manifold absurdities of Idolatry

The passage, which is merely a restatement of ideas already expressed, consists of three divisions:

i. Isa 44:6-8. A re-assertion and demonstration of the eternity and sole Divinity of Jehovah.

ii. Isa 44:9-20. A fresh exposure the most complete and remorseless that the book contains of the irrationality of idol-worship.

iii. Isa 44:21-23. An exhortation to the exiles to lay these truths to heart, and cleave to the God who forgives their sins and who alone can deliver. Isaiah 44:23 is a lyrical effusion, such as the thought of the redemption frequently calls forth from the prophet.
