Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 44:6

THE SOLITARINESS AND ETERNITY OF GODIsaiah 44:6. Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel, &c.A magnificent text! It places before us three of the loftiest of all themes of thought—the solitariness and eternity of God, and His relations to the Church. There are speculations that are profitless; but others are ennobling. These! About such topics we should often think; or the noblest faculties of our mind will dwindle and die (H. E. I. 3294, 3493).I. THE SOLITARINESS OF GOD. “Beside Me there... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 44:6

Isaiah 44:6 I. "I am the first." (1) We find in this the affirmation of the fundamental doctrine of a Supreme God, the Creator of all things. (2) This reminds us, further, that as God is the supreme cause, He must also be the supreme end of all that exists, the centre of the thoughts and affections of all the beings He has created. (3) This means, further, that God is at the basis of all that is done to raise and save humanity, to bring it back to the true life which it has lost by separating... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 44:1-28

Isaiah 44:5 . Another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord. This phrase is somewhat obscure; it is not said whether they signed a covenant, or imprinted some mark on their hand. The latter sense is preferred by the critics. Vide Poli Synopsis. Slaves were branded in the hand with their master’s name; the cruel Assyrians branded their forehead. The heathen generally imprinted on their children, the mark or the sign of the god to which they were devoted. The worshippers of the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 44:6

Isaiah 44:6Thus saith the Lord, the King of Israel“I am the First, and I am the Last”This affirmation of God’s existence appears more comprehensive than the similar one, made by Him to Moses, “I am that I am.” It is true, when we say that He is by His own absolute will and power, we assert by implication all that belongs necessarily to the essence and character of the Almighty. We assert His eternity; for He who so exists could have had no beginning, and can have no end: we assert His creation... read more
