Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 45:18

Theological / Devotional

To be inhabited. See on v. 12. The earth was not created “in vain” (Heb. tohu; see on Gen. 1:2). It was designed to be the home of man. Regardless of what may be the purpose of the enemy and what ruin he may accomplish by sin, God’s original plan will at length be carried out. Creation was a purposeful act, not merely an end in itself. Sin has postponed the realization of that purpose, but though postponed for a time it will ultimately be achieved. God’s infinite purposes know no haste and no delay (see DA 32).
