Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 45:12

Theological / Devotional

Created man upon it. God created both the world and its inhabitants, and must have had a beneficent purpose for so doing. Cyrus may not understand the divine purposes, but that is no excuse for a failure to carry out the role assigned him (see v. 13).

Stretched out the heavens. That is, the atmospheric heavens. See on ch. 40:12.
