The Book Of IsaiahThe One True God Versus Idols (40-48)Mark A. CopelandOBJECTIVES IN STUDYING THIS SECTION1) To see how God used Isaiah to comfort to a generation of Israel long after his own death2) To consider the challenge made to the nations of men and their idols proves the existence andidentity of the One True God3) To note the prophetic references that were fulfilled with the coming of Jesus ChristSUMMARYWe now begin a new section that continues through the rest of the book of Isaiah. Chapters 40-66contain prophecies and proclamations that were designed to comfort God’s people when they foundthemselves in Babylonian captivity. Though Isaiah himself did not live during the period of Babyloniancaptivity, as a prophet he was able to speak words of comfort to those who would experience thatdifficult time of Israel’s history. In chapters 40-48, a recurring theme is the challenge that the God ofIsrael makes to idols and those who worship them: to prove their existence by proclaiming what shallhappen and then bring it to pass.Chapter 40 serves as a prologue offering comfort and assurance, not only in view of the comingdeliverance (ultimately fulfilled with the coming of Christ, 40:3-5), but in light of the incomparablegreatness of God, who supports and strengthens all who place their trust in Him.In chapter 41, God’s greatness is illustrated by His challenge to the nations. He challenges those whotrust in idols to do as He did in announcing His plans and bringing them to pass. He also challengesIsrael to not fear, for He will not forsake them. Chapters 42-43 describe God’s care for Israel, especiallythrough His coming Servant (Christ, 42:1-4), and His superiority over the nations including Babylon.Chapters 44-45 reassure the people of Israel as God’s chosen, as the Lord promises to deliver themthrough Cyrus of Persia. Such deliverance will cause many others to turn to God.Chapters 46-48 reveal God’s coming judgment on Babylon and His plans for Israel. The idols ofBabylon are nothing, and certainly unable to do as God has done in announcing His plans beforehandand then bringing them to pass. God’s judgment will humiliate Babylon, and then He will redeemIsrael, having refined her for His glory.These chapters (40-48) contain one of most powerful arguments for the existence of God. Throughprophecies uttered by His servants hundreds of years before they are fulfilled, we find evidence that Godexists, and that He is the God of Israel!OUTLINEI.
