Isaiah 43:8-9
The scene Isaiah is describing is a court of law. God is saying, "Okay, you bring your witnesses, and I will bring Mine." What does a witness do? In a court of law, a witness gives testimony of things he has seen or heard.
6 I will say to the anorth, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—
And to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!’
Bring My sons from afar,
And My daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 Everyone who is acalled by My name,
Whom bI have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
Whom bI have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”
9 Let all the nations be gathered together,
And let the people be assembled.
aWho among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
And let the people be assembled.
aWho among them can declare this,
And show us former things?
Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified;
Or let them hear and say, “It is truth.”
10 “Youa are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
b“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and cbelieve Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
b“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and cbelieve Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
