Isaiah 45:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 45:1

Cyrus, God’s Instrument

1 “Thus says the Lord to His anointed,
To ^aCyrus, whose ^bright hand I have held—
^cTo subdue nations before him
And ^dloose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors,
So that the gates will not be shut:

2 ‘I will go before you
^aAnd¹ make the crooked places straight;
^bI will break in pieces the gates of bronze
And cut the bars of iron.

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden riches of secret places,
^aThat you may know that I, the Lord,
Who ^bcall you by your name,
Am the God of Israel.

4 For ^aJacob My servant’s sake,
And Israel My elect,
I have even called you by your name;
I have named you, though you have not known Me.

5 I ^aam the Lord, and ^bthere is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
^cI will gird you, though you have not known Me,
