AG:
TS: Last week we looked at Isaiah revelation of the Messiah.
This week, in 43 and 44, He praises God for all He does for His servant, Israel.
The only explanation for the ongoing existence of the nation of Israel is God’s sovereign grace, which brought her into existence from nothing (cf.
Dt 7:6–11) and sustains her.
Since she was God’s creation, she could find comfort in knowing that no one or nothing can destroy her, not even her own wickedness
RS: Many of the promises apply to us.
Paul describes this in Romans 11, where he says:
God formed Israel out of nothing and made her a nation and called her as His chosen people.
By grace He opened the door for all people, Jews and Gentiles, to experience His blessings.
We are grafted in.
Because of his grace (43:1–21; 44:1–8, 21–28):
The Lord does many things for the people of Israel:
1.
He protects them (43:1–2, 14–17)
a. From the fire and water (Isaiah 43:1–2)
God watches over them through all circumstances.
water, rivers, fire, flame:
Many past and current perils have been faced by Israel are summed up in those words.
They invoke 3 big events from the scriptures
Moses leading them through the Red Sea
Joshua leading them across the Jordan
Shardrach, Meschack, and Abednego in the fiery furnace
There was no need to fear
God’s redemption of His people from exile is not to be complete until His Servant returns to reign over the faithful remnant in the land of Israel who have believed on Jesus Christ
Their return from from Babylon illustrated their ultimate return when Messiah returns
b.
From their enemies (Isaiah 43:14–17)
One day, all her enemies will be defeated
Isaiah describes God’s deliverance over Israel’s enemies
God made a way in the sea for Israel and drowned Pharaoh’s army
2.
He prefers them (Isaiah 43:3–4):
They are chosen above all other nations.
God is the Savior
He delivered them from countless enemies
He will also bring spiritual salvation
3.
He gathers them (Isaiah 43:5–9 ):
He brings them back to Israel.
We see a foreshadowing of this in 1948.
They went through a time of not being a nation to returning to being a nation.
Is this their final return?
Only God knows, but it illustrates God can and will do what He says!
The ultimate fulfillment will happen at the Return of Jesus and will include us as adopted children!
4.
He appoints them as his special witnesses (Isaiah 43:10–13; 44:6–8):
They know that he alone is God.
They are His witnesses to testify of Him to the world.
5.
He ushers in the Millennium for them (Isaiah 43:18–21):
He prepares all things for his people to come home.
When this passage is ultimately fulfilled, all other deliverances will pale in comparison
6.
He fills them with his Spirit (Isaiah 44:1–5).
The Physical blessings and refreshment described here is a picture of the spiritual refreshment of the Holy Spirit
7.
He forgives them (Isaiah 44:21–24).
8.
He rebuilds their Temple (Isaiah 44:25–28):
He causes Cyrus to command that Jerusalem be rebuilt and the Temple be restored.
In spite of their sin (Isaiah 43:22–28):
God does all of this in spite of their sin
They don’t deserve it
They could never earn it
Yet GOD by His grace does it.
God does all the above even though Israel has often grieved him.
What a display of HIS grace!
That same grace saves us.
