Commentary on Isaiah 45:20

Theological / Devotional

Escaped of the nations. The Jews, freed by Cyrus to return to their homes, were to gather together and thank God for deliverance, acknowledging the evidences of His love and His power. They were to acknowledge, also, the folly of idolatry. History reveals the fact that the Babylonian captivity effectively cured the Jews of idolatry, even though only a relatively small number of them went back to Palestine.
