Commentary on Isaiah 45:19

Theological / Devotional

I said not. Not only was creation a purposeful act (see on v. 18); God’s choice of Israel was also. As God raised up Cyrus, not simply that he might become a great ruler, but that he might play a part in the divine plan, so God had raised up Israel — and was now releasing them from captivity — that His eternal purpose might be realized through them (see on Ex. 9:16; Dan. 4:17).
