How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 46, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“A RIGHTEOUSNESS NEAR AND A SWIFT SALVATION Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness: I bring near My righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry.'--ISAIAH xlvi. 12, 13. God has promised that He will dwell with him that is humble and of a contrite heart. Jesus has shed the oil of His benediction on the poor in spirit. It is the men who form the exact antithesis to these characters who are addressed here. …”
— Alexander MacLaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture: Isaiah and Jeremiah, on Isaiah 46:12–30 (Public Domain)
