Implicitly, at least, the words contain the truth that "God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham" (Matthew 3:9). He is still their Redeemer. The words may possibly imply the thought that, as in the case of Jeremiah (2 Maccabees 15:13-14), and Rachel (Jeremiah 31:15), Abraham was thought of as watching over his posterity, and interceding for them.

It is an epitheton usitatum only in the later portion of Isaiah. There it occurs thirteen times. Parallel Commentaries ...
