Interesting notes:

·        Isaiah 44:2 – Jeshurun = Israel

·        Isaiah 44:28 names Cyrus by name 150 years before his reign. Also, 45:1 says that he is anointed. This makes him the only Gentile ruler who is said to be anointed.

·        Jesus quoted Isaiah 56:7 when He overturned the moneychanger's tables in the Temple. And Jesus read Isaiah 61:1-2a in the synagogue.

Something to Think About:

 

God can work in spite of our ignorance,
but not in the face of our unbelief.
