Commentary on Isaiah 48:3

Theological / Devotional

I have declared. See on chs. 41:4, 23; 42:9. Not the heathen, but the faithless people of Judah are now called to recognize the foreknowledge of God.

Suddenly. Or, unexpectedly. God had foretold these events, but to the faithless hypocrites what happened came as a complete surprise (see Matt. 24:39). For similar counsel to those who await the coming of the Lord, see 1 Thess. 5:1-8.
