Isaiah Notes

Isaiah 33:22 – For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.


John Calvin said, “Let us only yield to his [God’s] authority, hear his voice, and obey him; and, on the other hand, he will shew that he is our protector and most faithful guardian.”

John Calvin on Isaiah 33:22 (abstracted into bullet points):

  • On the one hand
    • Yield to God’s authority
    • Hear God’s voice
    • Obey God
  • And on the other hand
    • God will shew that he is our protector and most faithful guardian
    • i.e., “God will save us”

Isaiah 43:1, But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

By the Incarnation, the Creator said to creation, “Mine!”

Isaiah 59:21, As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
