Isaiah Capítulo 41 2 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
2. Who--else but God? The fact that God "raiseth up" Cyrus and qualifies him for becoming the conqueror of the nations and deliverer of God's people, is a strong argument why they should trust in Him. The future is here prophetically represented as present or past.
the righteous man--Cyrus; as
Isa 44:28; 45:1-4, 13; 46:11,
"from the East," prove. Called "righteous," not so much on account of his own equity [HERODOTUS, 3.89], as because he fulfilled God's righteous will in restoring the Jews from their unjust captivity. Raised him up in righteousness. The Septuagint takes the Hebrew as a noun "righteousness." MAURER translates, "Who raised up him whom salvation (national and temporal, the gift of God's 'righteousness' to the good,
Isa 32:17;
compare
Isa 45:8; 51:5)
meets at his foot" (that is, wherever he goes). Cyrus is said to come from the East, because Persia is east of Babylon; but in
Isa 41:25,
from the north, in reference to Media. At the same time the full sense of righteousness, or righteous, and of the whole passage, is realized only in Messiah, Cyrus' antitype (Cyrus knew not God,
Isa 45:4).
He goes forth as the Universal Conqueror of the "nations," in righteousness making war
(Ps 2:8, 9; Re 19:11-15; 6:2; 2:26, 27).
"The idols He shall utterly abolish" (compare
Isa 7:23, with Isa 2:18).
Righteousness was always raised up from the East. Paradise was east of Eden. The cherubim were at the east of the garden. Abraham was called from the East. Judea, the birthplace of Messiah, was in the East.
called . . . to . . . foot--called him to attend His (God's) steps, that is, follow His guidance. In
Ezr 1:2,
Cyrus acknowledges Jehovah as the Giver of his victories. He subdued the nations from the Euxine to the Red Sea, and even Egypt (says XENOPHON).
dust--
(Isa 17:13; 29:5; Ps 18:42).
Persia, Cyrus' country, was famed for the use of the "bow"
(Isa 22:6).
"Before him" means "gave them into his power"
(Jos 10:12).
MAURER translates, "Gave his (the enemy's) sword to be dust, and his (the enemy's) bow to be as stubble"
(Job 41:26, 29).

3. Cyrus had not visited the regions of the Euphrates and westward until he visited them for conquest. So the gospel conquests penetrated regions where the name of God was unknown before.
Isaiah Capítulo 41 4 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
4. Who--else but God?
calling . . . generations from . . . beginning--The origin and position of all nations are from God
(De 32:8; Ac 17:26);
what is true of Cyrus and his conquests is true of all the movements of history from the first; all are from God.
with the last--that is, the last
(Isa 44:6; 48:12).
Isaiah Capítulo 41 5 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
5. feared--that they would be subdued.
drew near, and came--together, for mutual defense.
Isaiah Capítulo 41 6 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
6. Be of good courage--Be not alarmed because of Cyrus, but make new images to secure the favor of the gods against him.
Isaiah Capítulo 41 7 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
7. One workman encourages the other to be quick in finishing the idol, so as to avert the impending danger.
nails--to keep it steady in its place.
Wisdom 13:15, 16,
gives a similar picture of the folly of idolatry.
Isaiah Capítulo 41 8 Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
8. Contrast between the idolatrous nations whom God will destroy by Cyrus, and Israel whom God will deliver by the same man for their forefathers' sake.
servant--so termed as being chosen by God to worship Him themselves, and to lead other peoples to do the same
(Isa 45:4).
Jacob . . . chosen--
(Ps 135:4).
my friend--literally, "loving me."
Isa 41:1-29.
ADDITIONAL REASONS WHY THE JEWS SHOULD PLACE CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S PROMISES OF DELIVERING THEM; HE WILL RAISE UP A PRINCE AS THEIR DELIVERER, WHEREAS THE IDOLS COULD NOT DELIVER THE HEATHEN NATIONS FROM THAT PRINCE.
1.
(Zec 2:13).
God is about to argue the case; therefore let the nations listen in reverential silence. Compare
Ge 28:16, 17,
as to the spirit in which we ought to behave before God.
before me--rather (turning), "towards me" [MAURER].
islands--including all regions beyond sea
(Jer 25:22),
maritime regions, not merely isles in the strict sense.
renew . . . strength--Let them gather their strength for the argument; let them adduce their strongest arguments (compare
Isa 1:18; Job 9:32).
"Judgment" means here, to decide the point at issue between us.
