Isaiah 44
1. God comforts the church with his promises
7. The vanity of idols
9. And folly of idol makers
21. He exhorts to praise God for his redemption and omnipotence














Thus says the LORD
This phrase introduces a divine proclamation, emphasizing the authority and sovereignty of God. In Hebrew, "LORD" is "YHWH," the sacred name of God, often rendered as Yahweh. This name signifies God's eternal existence and His covenant relationship with Israel. The use of "Thus says" is a common prophetic formula, underscoring that the message is not from the prophet's own mind but directly from God Himself.

your Redeemer
The term "Redeemer" in Hebrew is "go'el," which refers to a kinsman-redeemer, a family member who restores the rights of another and avenges wrongs. This concept is deeply rooted in the cultural and legal practices of ancient Israel, where a redeemer would buy back property or even a person from slavery. Spiritually, it points to God's role in delivering Israel from bondage and, ultimately, to Christ's redemptive work on the cross.

who formed you from the womb
This phrase highlights God's intimate involvement in the creation and formation of each individual. The Hebrew word for "formed" is "yatsar," which conveys the image of a potter shaping clay. It speaks to God's personal care and purpose for each life, affirming the sanctity and value of human life from conception.

I am the LORD
Reiterating His identity, God emphasizes His unique and unchanging nature. This declaration serves as a reminder of His faithfulness and the assurance that He is the same God who has been with Israel throughout their history.

the Maker of all things
This phrase asserts God's role as the Creator of the universe. The Hebrew word "asah" means to make or do, indicating God's active involvement in creation. It underscores His omnipotence and the fact that everything in existence is a result of His creative power.

who stretches out the heavens by Myself
The imagery of stretching out the heavens suggests the vastness and majesty of the universe. In ancient Near Eastern cosmology, the heavens were often depicted as a tent or canopy. God's solitary action in this process highlights His unparalleled power and authority over creation, contrasting with the polytheistic beliefs of surrounding nations.

who spreads out the earth by My own hands
This phrase reinforces God's direct and personal involvement in the creation of the earth. The Hebrew word "raqa" means to spread out or expand, evoking the image of a craftsman carefully laying out his work. It emphasizes God's meticulous care and the intentional design of the world, affirming His sovereignty over all the earth.

(24) Thus saith the Lord.--A new section begins, which is carried on to the end of Isaiah 45. The contrast between the foreknowledge of Jehovah and the no-knowledge of the worshippers of idols culminates in the proclamation, in Isaiah 44:28, of the name of the deliverer and his restoration of the Temple.

That spreadeth abroad the earth by myself.--The Hebrew written text gives the more emphatic reading: that spreadeth forth the earth; who was with me? (Comp. Isaiah 40:13; Isaiah 63:3; and Job 9:8.)

Verse 24. - Thus saith the Lord. This is not a new prophecy entirely unconnected with the preceding, as Delitzsch supposes, lint a declaration to which the prophet has been working up, and which he intends as the crown and climax of all that he has been announcing with respect to Israel's deliverance. Not only is the deliverance absolutely determined on in God's counsels, but the Deliverer himself is already chosen and designated. He that formed thee from the womb (comp. ver. 2). I am the Lord that maketh all things - rather, I the Lord am he that doeth all things; i.e. I am he that executeth whatever he designs - that stretcheth forth the heavens alone (comp. Job 9:8), that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself. God did not delegate the creation of the heaven and the earth to an inferior spirit, a δημιουργός, as the Greeks generally taught. He did not even call in the co operation of a helper. Singly and solely by his own power he created all things.
