Forget All That!!!

Isaiah 43:3–4 The Message

3 Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! 4 That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you! I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.

Isaiah 43:15–20 NLT

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator and King. 16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. 17 I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all its chariots and horses. I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned, their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick. 18 “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. 19 For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. 20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me, the jackals and owls, too, for giving them water in the desert. Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland so my chosen people can be refreshed.

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 4. A Promise to Regather the Unworthy Servant (43:1–44:5)

A PROMISE TO REGATHER THE UNWORTHY SERVANT (43:1–44:5)

Judah’s exile was pictured as drawing to a close (40:2) for the Lord was raising up a leader who would release them (41:2–4, 25). God would also raise up a Servant, the Messiah, to give them spiritual release (42:1–17). However, the nation was still in spiritual captivity (42:18–25). Now the Lord exhorted the nation not to fear (43:1–7) for their condition would show the world that He is truly the only God (43:8–13). He would restore them from Babylon, bringing them back home in a new “Exodus” (43:14–28). Therefore He said again they were not to fear (44:1–5).

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 43:1–2

Jacob (also called Israel; see comments on 40:27) need have no fear in her captivity because God had created (cf. v. 7) and formed her (cf. vv. 7, 21; 44:2, 24) and had redeemed her from bondage in Egypt. “Redeemed” translates gā’al, “to buy out of slavery”

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 43:3–4

A second reason Israel need not fear is that God loves her. This special love is not because of something the nation did or some quality she possesses. It is because of His choosing.

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 43:5–7

A third reason Israel need not fear (do not be afraid; cf. 41:10, 14; 44:2, 8; 54:4) is that God, who was with them (cf. 41:10), promised to bring them back to their land. Though Isaiah was referring primarily to the restoration from Babylon (2 Chron. 36:22–23; Ezra 1:1–4), he was also speaking of a wider regathering.

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 43:11–13

43:11–13. The Lord’s deliverance of Israel also shows that He is the true God. He is her only Savior and no one can oppose His plans. “Savior” is another title of God that Isaiah used frequently (cf. 17:10; 43:3; 45:15, 21; 49:26; 60:16; 62:11; 63:8). God’s revealing His plans and saving His people could not be duplicated by any foreign god. Israel’s existence witnesses to His sovereignty and eternity. No one can reverse what God puts into action or thwart His plans

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 43:14–15

The Lord calls Himself Israel’s Redeemer (cf. comments on 41:14), the Holy One of Israel (cf. comments on 1:4), the LORD, the Holy One, Israel’s Creator and King

The Lord reminds them of the great exploits he has done to their enemies in the past,

Opened a way through the waters,

Making a dry path through the sea

I called forth the mighty army of Egypt with all the chariots and horses

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick...

But then he shows his gangsta......

But Forget all that-----

It’s nothing compared to what im going to do.

For I am About to do something new...

I will make a path through your wilderness

And ill cause rivers to flow in the dry wastelands of your life!!

The Holy Bible: King James Version Chapter 43

20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert

This people have I formed for myself ; they shall show forth my praise…
