Isaiah 44:26a

"That confirmeth the word of his servant, (that is Israel) and performeth the counsel of his messengers;..." Now, there I have to think, what's he referring to? The Word of God. This whole book comes from the pen of what people? Jews. Every one of them a Jew! Don't ever buy the gimmick that Luke was a Gentile. He couldn't have been. He had to be a Jew to be a writer of Scripture because it's "God's servant" that wrote the Word, as we see in Romans 3:1.


Isaiah 44:26b

"...that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited;..." Now, here's a reference to when He has emptied them out for those seventy years of captivity and Jerusalem is a shambles, it's empty, it's lying waste. He's going to bring Israel back.


Isaiah 44:26c-27

"...Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, (after they come back) and I will raise up the decayed places thereof. 27. (I am the God. I'm putting that in now only for clarification.) That saith to the deep, be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers: " If God wants the Euphrates to be dry, He'll dry it up.
