July 30 – Cyrus - Isaiah 44:21-28
The Lord reminds Jacob as Israel He is the servant of the Lord. As the Lord’s servant He will not be
Forgotten. Their offenses have been swept away like a cloud. Their sins like the morning mist. He asks
Them to return to Him because they have been redeemed or bought back. Creation has been
Instructed to sing and burst into song about what the Lord has done. Through Israel the Lord has shown
His glory.
The Lord reminds His people that they were formed by Him in the womb. He is the Lord who made all
Things both in heaven and on earth. He foils the signs of the false prophets and makes the wisdom of
this world appears foolish. He carries out the words of His prophets and makes the predictions of His
messengers come to pass. The Lord is about to rebuild the ruins of Judah.
The Lord can make the watery places and streams dry up. Then Isaiah introduces a future helper of
The Jews. He tells about the Medo Persian king called Cyrus who is a shepherd who will accomplish
What the Lord pleases. He commands Jerusalem to be built, its temple and foundation to be laid. Get
This 200 years before it happens Isaiah reveals how a Persian king will command a temple to be rebuilt.
When Isaiah wrote this the temple would not be destroyed for over a hundred years. The Bible is more
Accurate than tomorrow’s newspaper.
